What 100+ heartworm genomes teach us about ancient “spaghetti” in your dog’s heart https://t.co/l9iwgdg2DM

🚨 Heartworm history runs deeper than human influence! 🚨Our 5+ years of research on 🐶 Dirofilaria immitis reveal patterns that challenge long‑held assumptions about how it spreads.

Plus, over the years they produced over 100+ publications, you can read about the program in a letter to the AVJ editor we wrote. This year symposium was a blast, one for the ages! @Sydney_Uni🦤🐩🚨🙌 Thanks Michael Ward - it was a blast! ⚡️@AustVetAssoc

Do the opposite💡
10 years ago we decided to take a risk with our DVM students and embedded Research&Enquiry. We were told our DVMs won’t like it, they not made to do research. The annual symposium where they present is my best day at Uni, I am so proud of them. @Sydney_Vet

[Prof Jan Slapeta @JanSlapeta]

🚨You see smiles on students’ faces, coming to lecture theatre, asking questions and genuinely proud of their and each others work. We done the opposite and it 👍worked. @Sydney_Vet @AustVetAssoc

Are you interested in full length 16S rRNA sequencing on @nanopore? We developed a new workflow using UMIs and R10.4+ chemistry to enable highly accurate and multiplexed microbiome profiling.

This was a long road, and I’m glad to see this out! 1/4

Without accessible diagnostic toolkit and case studies, upskilling toward sustainable parasite management remains academic exercise. Let’s focus on needs! Thanks to Fiona, Maria, Candela, Edvin, and @JohnGilleard.🚨🪱🐑🐄

The incredible @Em_Francis had us all in tears of laughter during her talk on the longitudinal study she conducted on her family farm during drought, flood, and the Dunedoo golf course incident of 2022. To top it all off, she won the NEB lego set!!! @AS_Para #PiP2024 @Sydney_Vet

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology
