An ongoing outbreak of canine rabies in South Africa, leading to human deaths as well. Sadly, rabies is still a neglected disease, although 100% fatal.Needs to change! @CarmenEmbregts @MarionKoopmans @RabiesAlliance https://t.co/xVy5Me6bfx

@VeraIDRos @DebbyvanRiel @ZonMw @MarionKoopmans @Corine_GvK @thijskuiken Bedankt Vera! Ben ik toch weer teruggekomen bij de virussen die het gedrag van hun host beïnvloeden :-)

Thrilled to share that I received a Veni grant from @ZonMw for my research on immunosuppressive mechanisms of rabies virus and the development of novel prophylaxis! Proud to perform this exciting research at the EMC Viroscience Department

It's #WorldRabiesDay

Although vaccines are available since over a century, #rabies still kills 1⃣ person every 9 minutes. Most of the victims are children.

Rabies is 100% preventable: Let's vaccinate🐕 to reduce rabies deaths!

@LisaBauerVirus @erasmuspostdoc For sure I will! :)

Serological assays for animal sera are urgently needed for e.g. seroprevalence studies and animal (vaccination) studies.
Huge thanks to the collaborators that shared their valuable sera with us!

In our newest paper were we show the potency of the surrogate VNT to determine SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels in human sera AND in sera of nine animal species. https://t.co/CTHWsYaWU3
