OUT NOW in Science Magazine: A naturally isolated symbiotic bacterium suppresses flavivirus transmission by Aedes mosquitoes

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Important new discovery that could form the basis of a complementary control strategy to Wolbachia. Might also explain the old conundrum of why A. albopictus can be readily infected with dengue in the lab but isn’t the most competent vector in the wild.

Some gorgeous work from Jeffrey Kieft lab on the Tick-borne flavivirus exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs. Showing they contain a ‘double loop’ structure RNAStructureBot biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exited to share the first paper pre-print of many from the PhD of Ry-an the Science Man🦠. Ryan highlights the application of antigens produced using the chimeric Binjari virus system to rapid lateral flow assay for diagnosis of West Nile virus infections.

An analysis of publicly available viral genomes explores the evolutionary dynamics of host jumps and shows that humans are as much a source of viral spillover events to other animals as they are recipients.

Avian flu detections in dairy cows raise more key questions

Experts wonder if the virus is responsible for all of the symptoms, if it can spread from cow to cow, and how the findings might shape farm biosecurity.
