Excited to share our comprehensive review paper for #Toscana virus, transmitted by #sandflies bites ⭐️

A much neglected but increasingly important neurotropic pathogen, #Toscana virus, spread by #sandflies, is now endemic across much of the Mediterranean. See our new review by @KeskekTurk et al published in @MicrobioSoc

@brennanlab Insects and their role as vectors of viruses have always been a fascinating topic! 😅 thank you ☀️

[Arbovirus Seminars @ArbovirusS]

Don't miss our next seminar THURSDAY 21st by the ever-engaging Nolwenn @lab_jouvenet from @institutpasteur . Talking about her team's exciting new work showing how #tick_borne_viruses suppress #innate_immunity. All welcome and please help us with a re-tweet to spread the word.

The salary for postdoctoral scientists is £36k. Science is global - if the UK is going to be 'the best country for science in the world', we need to be able to recruit the best scientists. Now, we might not be able to - only British scientists can apply.
