A mosquito symbiont controls flaviviruses

#ResearchHighlight

In this study, Zhang et al. report that a bacterial symbiont residing in the gut of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes protects them from flavivirus infection.

So excited to be awarded ARC Future Fellowship. This funding will allow me to find out how insect-specific #flaviviruses make mosquitoes incapable of transmitting pathogenic ones and to develop more efficient biocontrol strategies in the future.

A great talk on reverse genetics using the circular polymerase extension reaction (CPER) for flaviviruses and SARS-CoV-2. From Alexander Khromykh.

💉 Would you happen to know what #Flavivaccine is?

julien pompon (@ird_fr Scientist and Project Coordinator) introduces us to the project!

Flavivaccine aims at delivering a safe and effective protection against mosquito-borne #flaviviruses infections.

I had a special opportunity to give a first talk of l Zoonoses session at the Medical Biodefense Conference in Munich. It was a great experience to present our data to such a large audience. 😊

Why do Flaviviruses do what they do?
Why this propensity to thalamuses?
And this one has gone beyond! Way beyond.
Donuts have gone for a spin.

A few weeks ago, I had a opportunity to present not only hamburgers but also my favourite project about tick- and mosquito-borne #flaviviruses at the CzechoSlovak Virology Conference in Prague. 😊

Back from a fantastic trip to Rotterdam chatting zoonotic flaviviruses with Reina Sikkema One Health PACT, including an early morning field trip to watch bird ringers sampling (thanks Tom et al.!). We come back informed, excited to start in the UK, and fans of bitterballen!

Do you know what a ‘flavivirus’ is? They are single stranded RNA viruses carried primarily by arthropods (like mosquitoes and ticks) that cause illness in humans. Flaviviruses are found around the world and infect up to 400 million people each year.

At #GfV2024 #Vienna , presenting latest research with my PhD student, Leonhard Sidl. Our poster on 'Exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs in tick-borne flaviviruses' unveils structural insights of ligand-inducible molecular devices for #SyntheticBiology ! #Virology #ComputationalBiology

Our second honours student from ⁦Alex Khromykh⁩ lab with ⁦Dr Andrii Slonchak⁩ is Rebecca Breeze presenting the pains and successes of generating sfRNA deficient mutants in insect specific flaviviruses.

The decade-plus relationship is evident in a 2010 study on bat flaviviruses, which lists Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance Vice President Jonathan Epstein as authors, that thanks Google. org for funding. A 2014 study on henipavirus spillover, which was authored by Daszak, similarly…

Helen Lazear work is in full swing today at #ASV2023 ! Check out W35-4 to see Helen present on genetic determinants of Powassan pathogenesis and P25-28 to talk to Mikhala about pathogenesis of no-known vector flaviviruses!

Fascinating talk by Karin Stiasny on flaviviruses! Day 2 of #gfV2024
