The viral glycoprotein GP38 is a toxin in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (#CCHFV) that exacerbates vascular leak and viral dissemination, but can be targeted with an antibody to combat infection in mice. @PahmeierFelix@HarrisProgram @UCBerkeleySPH https://t.co/izOYzNOPLg
Find out about our newest collaborative study on the capacity of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus protein GP38 to induce vascular leak here https://t.co/JBWvt0mGz4
We are looking for a Scientific Coordinator for our work in Nicaragua through the Sustainable Sciences Institute. Please spread the word and apply using this link: https://t.co/buq1KETs6N
Our latest publication, led by graduate student Reinaldo Mercado-Hernandez, investigates the association of obesity with dengue virus infection and disease in Nicaragua https://t.co/E7e0cBLYYO
Our new seroepidemiological study, led by me, @rosie_aogo, Chloe Hasund & @HarrisProgram, shows that prior zika exposure can elevate #dengue risk caused by DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4, but not DENV1. #ZIKV vaccines must be developed and implemented carefully. https://t.co/NiLS2IqIux
Happy to share our preprint on CCHFV GP38, a secreted protein that can induce vascular leak and can be targeted by antibodies to prevent leak and viral spread. Great collaboration with Stephanie Monticelli et al (USMRIID), @McLellan_Lab & @ChandranLab.

Congratulations @marcuspwong on this wonderful study suggesting that host inflammatory responses to DENV NS1 may be protective as well as pathogenic. @russellevance @HarrisProgram

Excited to share our latest preprint led by Sandra Bos @LuciusLeVirus & @josviczammad, which uncovers the contribution of inapparent primary DENV infections to the epidemiological patterns and the spectrum of infection outcomes for each serotype.
