Deadline: 22nd April

I’m still accepting applications for this PhD on bat virus dynamics in Neotropical bats until end of April. Please RT!

Fascinating take on how overly focusing on relatively unlikely existential theats of tech hinders rational debate on more likely risks science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🦇 New publication explores self-spreading vaccines to protect wildlife from deadly pathogens such as rabies.

Megan Griffiths explains the complex interdisciplinary work behind this innovative technology.

Comparative analysis of human, rodent and snake deltavirus replication | PLOS Pathogens The lab’s first paper is out, it took us two years, a twittorial coming soon ! Kudos to Pierre and Zoé , the first lab recruits (Jan 2022) and co-first authors. journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

As an Editorial Board member of Royal Society Publishing #PhilTransB I would highly recommend this opportunity! Get in touch if you would like to discuss ideas for theme issues, especially in virology, bats, wild immunology, or diseasy AI. Find out more at bit.ly/PTBproposals

Come work with us! Movement and population dynamics of Wildebeest.

Last week in Peru, 2 awuajun girls died from vampire bat rabies transmitted by a cat .... here a rabies webinar on wildlife rabies in Amazonia and how we can save lives vaccinating ... no more avoidable rabies deaths! youtu.be/hEIIEgzKxxo?fe… via YouTube

Here is our article just accepted in PLOS Pathogens in which we review, analyze and attempt to predict virus receptors. We hope this will be a useful tool for the virology community.
