A @Nature paper reports major changes in the ecology and evolution of highly pathogenic avian H5 influenza viruses, including a shift in global distribution. The findings suggest that the epicentre of these viruses has extended beyond Asia to new regions. https://t.co/y9chSdPTiU

AMAZING STUDY !
How a single CROSS-INFECTION within HOTEL quarantine provoked one of the HIGHEST per-capita DEATH RATES of COVID-19 ? https://t.co/tFDDbhKm3W

@jurreysi Thank you, Jurre

[Ruopeng Xie @RuopengX]

I am very grateful to the donors for this award. This would not have been possible without the help and support of my supervisor and colleagues ☺️

[The HKU-Pasteur Research Pole @HKU_Pasteur]

✨Congratulations @RuopengX !✨

He was awarded the @HKUniversity YS and Christabel Lung Postgraduate #Scholarship 2022/23!

Based on academic merit, this scholarship rewards the excellence of his research conducted at @HKU_Pasteur @hkumed under the supervision of @vijay_lab

We have used machine learning to analyse the influenza decline during Mar 2020-Sep 2021 by country-trimesters 1/8

Excited to see our work on "A Bayesian approach to infer recombination patterns in coronaviruses" published in @NatureComms https://t.co/Wi6ofPaj0M.

This article is making the rounds.

Sounds scary, right? Constant reinfections and no immunity! Plague doctor! Forever plague!!!

Too bad it is almost entirely poorly sourced, grossly misinterpreted, hyperbolic bullshit.

They appear to have enhanced replication in lung cells compared to BA.2 and is more fusogenic and pathogenic than BA.2 in an animal model ( https://t.co/rrmwgoay6L ). 2/
