Very happy to have this one published in @Nature today!! 🤩🤩 Can we dig deeper into the intricate and ancient evolutionary history of the flaviviridae by comparing not only genetic sequence but also protein structure? answer is yes!!

Exciting new inroads into human biology and therapy development: Human intestinal organoids with an autologous tissue-resident immune compartment! #Gjorevski#Cabon#IHB@Nature@IHB_Research https://t.co/x6YWSjl8yp
We are delighted to share with you that 11th International Symposium on Avian Influenza will be 24-25 June 2025 in St. John’s, Canada. We are looking forward to getting everyone together in one room to share their experiences and the latest science. https://t.co/5xF1INjkeO
Environmental sampling can also teach us things about emerging viruses. Study on farm with infected dairy cows finds positive environmental samples, including mutations associated with mammalian adaption. https://t.co/0TVJ0i1qLt
Evidence of recent exchanges of genes between bat and pangolin viruses, predating the emergence of SARS COV 2. Based on wild animal sampling studies. https://t.co/mqzHjmkSrB lots of things going on with these viruses in wild life
i'm recruiting for a new PhD student at @UofOklahoma to conduct field and theoretical studies of bat virus dynamics, focused on molossids in Belize! see below and our lab website for more information and how to apply: https://t.co/X4QtYdFQO7
Prevent Pandemics: Protect where bats eat & roost, protect people at risk. https://t.co/tw5tvwTSCF
In @NatureComms, primary prevention should be a priority to minimize future pandemic risk. Healthy environments & animals = healthy humans. Ecological Countermeasures can do this.
Most bats will probably only check their Xmas stockings once warmer weather returns in 2024.
The best present we can give bats is to help secure their future in our changing world in order to achieve our vision of a world rich in wildlife where bats and people thrive together.
Don't blame bats! New study in our @SpringerNature journal "EcoHealth": While most ecology papers didn't pose bats as a threat (97%), most disease papers did (80%); 2) papers framing bats as a threat to human health received higher reader comments. https://t.co/mQrn7Ftt1d
New York: 12 different bird species test positive for avian influenza
Some 660 birds were at the Brooklyn market, according to USDA. All 12 species at the bird market, including guineas, Muscovy ducks, silkies and red fowl, tested positive.

@BBCAfrica Captions like "bats are known to be super-incubators for thousands of viruses" are just unacceptable because they paint bats in a such bad light and endanger bat populations. BBC News Africa do better!
