@K_RenfreeShort Sorry.. missed that in your previous post! I haven't seen that data specifically for AZ+AZ, but imagine it will come from the UK soon. Seems mortality (irrespective of vaccination dose(s) or type) could be similar to seasonal flu (approx 0.2-0.5%)

Fantastic work by Michelle @DuckSwabber

We have a new paper out in @ISMEJournal about multi-host maintenance communities for virus communities! Work with @edwardcholmes @hurt_lab @MarsKlaassen
Virome heterogeneity and connectivity in waterfowl and shorebird communities

No doubt about the early and substantial season, but the magnitude of the notifications data (>2x previous seasons) in WA is high compared to ILI rates and % specimens testing flu positive

Latest data from WA is out, thanks to our friends at PathWest: https://t.co/YxakQwmQXG

[Aeron Hurt @hurt_lab]

The dramatic increase of notifications is likely due to increased community level testing with private pathology, potentially driven by a lot of media coverage in WA

Great work by Michelle @DuckSwabber and all of our collaborators to open the door on delta viruses in the animal kingdom!

Our research on HepD viruses in birds have been featured on TWiV @profvrr . Segment on HepD starts at ~21min.
Our article redefines our understanding of these viruses and can be found here: https://t.co/0VrA4sNHjc
Research done with @edwardcholmes @jseden1 @hurt_lab and others!

Metabolomic effect of influenza infection and oseltamivir treatment. Great collaborative project between members of the Hurt Lab (past and present) @WHOCCFluMelb and driven by David Beale at @CSIROnews

@DeptAgNews @AustralianEggs Thank you all - we are so excited to do this project with @ackarawita @DavidBurt8 @Yuanyuan929 . Thankyou for your support! @DeptAgNews @AustralianEggs

Recent work from the Hurt lab about Baloxavir Marboxil has been published in Antiviral Research.

[Paulina Koszalka @_pkoszalka]

Our paper on the susceptibility of influenza viruses to the antiviral drug baloxavir is out in Antiviral Research!
Check it out here: https://t.co/07yrgqxrvb

“Appreciation day” Very kind of @KentLaboratory at @TheDohertyInst to put on a morning tea to thank Malet, Leo and Tom for their assistance in collaborative studies. We appreciate being part of your work!

New research from the Hurt Lab - central hosts for influenza, waterfowl and shorebirds, are hosts for a number of other avian viruses as well.

[Michelle Wille @DuckSwabber]

Our new avian virome paper is out on @bioRxiv: https://t.co/6hike1GzY4
We show both connectivity and heterogeneity in viromes of avian communities. Great collaboration with @hurt_lab @edwardcholmes @MarsKlaassen

Recent work headed by Nate Jacobs in my lab, on the prevalence and fitness implications of incomplete IAV genomes.

Incomplete influenza A virus genomes are abundant but readily complemented during spatially structured viral spread https://t.co/jEDTiMxB6t

We find that:

Still a few days left to apply for postdoc position with us on the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics of flu. Great colleagues, beautiful city - https://t.co/7mb3bui1yA

Hi all, the Hurt Lab is now officially on Twitter!!! We are an influenza research lab based at @WHOCCFluMelb working on influenza antivirals, vaccines and the ecology of avian influenza viruses. Follow us and hear about our what we are up to!
