Our latest viral metagenomic study investating Antricola ticks from Brazil is published @VirusesMDPI @SLU_Virology https://t.co/Lmn3yu3mzq

[SLU Virology @SLU_Virology]

We are all excited to listen to @emeli_torsson defending her thesis “Peste-des-petit-ruminants virus - in the field and in the host”

[Anne-Lie Blomström @AL_Blomstrom]

Our metagenomic paper about viruses in Swedish mosquitoes is now out 🦠🦟 😊 @SLU_Virology @Pontus_Ohlund https://t.co/rO6inHAWIw

[Emeli Torsson @emeli_torsson]

Me and @Metaviromics are working on some full length #pprv genomes 🧬 to add to my #phdthesis (coming soonish to a library near you!) It’s looking good so far @nanopore!

This years Smögen Virology Symposium @swedishvirology have started! And I have already done my presentation 🥳 #ppr So now I can simply enjoy the science, the food, @SLU_Virology and tomorrows #TWIV @profvrr photo by: @AL_Blomstrom

Do you know that the mosquito 🦟 is the deadliest animal on earth due to the pathogens that they spread? #WorldMosquitoDay #gatesnotes

Finally, a new and clearer phylogenetic classification system and revised nomenclature for Newcastle disease virus. https://t.co/C0iz2hmnn0

Hi! My name is Ylva Lindgren and I am a #PhDstudent, working in a project on #adenovirus infections in meat producing chickens. I work at the National Veterinary Institute, @SVAexpertmyndig, as a #pathologist, and it is excellent to be able to combine these two things!

[SLU Virology @SLU_Virology]

I'm Emeli Torsson (@emeli_torsson) a #PhDstudent in #veterinaryvirology. My PhD project focus on #PPR, the #measles of sheep and goats. The plan is to defend my thesis later this year and I hope to continue working with #morbilliviruses. Want to know more? https://t.co/JMvdyqx3D1

I'm Pontus Öhlund, #PhDstudent in #infectionbiology and #virology. In our research project we focus on how insect-specific viruses affects its host and if they can be utilised to reduce the transmission of #arbovirus by #mosquitoes. More details here: https://t.co/2m1byyHmfD

[SLU Virology @SLU_Virology]

I´m Anne-Lie Blomström, #researcher in #veterinaryvirology and #infectionbiology. My research interests are to study how #viruses interact with humans, animals and insects such as #mosquitoes. I also enjoy #virusdiscovery. See more info at: https://t.co/VK7H9bABaD

[SLU Virology @SLU_Virology]

I'm Maja Malmberg, #researcher in #veterinaryvirology, #molecularinfectionbiology, and #globalhealth. My research focuses mainly on #tickbornediseases, #neurotropicviruses and #virusdiscovery. More details can be found here: https://t.co/FbZAGJlpsS

[SLU Virology @SLU_Virology]

I'm Mikael Berg, #professor in #veterinaryvirology. My main interests are to understand how a #virus influence the host immune system via a number of small multifunctional proteins, eg. NS1, V and C. The ability to circumvent the immunity leads to the diseases #viruses causes.

Today we'll start a two week long series of tweets with presentations of all of us working here at the section of #virology @_SLU. Of course we'll start with our professor! If you have any questions, just ask!

[SLU Virology @SLU_Virology]

Interesting work from our nordic colleges! #virology

[University of Helsinki @helsinkiuni]

Breaking: researchers discovered how a virus' genome is condensed within the capsid of the virus. "In the long term this may contribute to tackling viral disease", says @JuhaHuiskonen. #HelsinkiHealth #virology @UniofOxford @SerbanIlca @HiLIFE_helsinki https://t.co/0Nnwre29IQ

[Maja Malmberg @majamalmberg @malmberg_maja]

Nyfiken på processen när veterinärkåren gick från att vara mansdominerad till kvinnodominerad? Nu finns två uppsatser som skrivits av veterinärstudenter som jag fått äran att handleda.

Thank you @nanopore for shipping your products in #woolcool! The garlic at my #allotment appreciates it! Wool really is an amazing material 🐑

[Emeli Torsson @emeli_torsson]

Interesting talk on #foodsystems and #foodsafety by John McDermott @A4NH_CGIAR @IFPRI today @_SLU. Higher demand for perishable food worldwide = the risk of foodborne diseases increase.

And, as always, involving women is part of the solution #womengettingtheworkdone
