Such a pleasure to hear our IBEID G5 Michael White presenting his lab approaches to develop new tools for multiple #pathogensurveillance

🚨Only 2 weeks left to submit your scientific abstract and have a chance to present at the Adapting to Change conference from October 16th to 18th in our beautiful city of Paris!!! Registration, abstract submission and travel grant application👇👇👇 ibeid-2024.conferences-pasteur.org/home

In the light of H5N1 and H5N2, now would be a good time for people to be asking countries what their updated pandemic flu plan is (i.e. with the benefit of everything we’ve learnt during COVID). Need to move beyond vague platitudes, and pin down actual tools and approaches…

How to get ready for the effects of climate change on infectious disease? Hurry up and register and/or submit your abstract! This is THE meeting you want to go in 2024! ibeid-2024.conferences-pasteur.org/home INSTITUT PASTEUR Labex IBEID #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #EID #microbes #viruses

I wrote a short piece about a new flu subtype (H19) which uses a surprising receptor. We've known about glycans terminating in sialic acid as a receptor for flu for 70 years but the virus still surprises us! Great work by Karakus et al. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jPEg6t8JEqo…

When we understand the story of #genomics, we can understand diseases better. This means we can diagnose them quicker, treat them more effectively, and even prevent them.

Very happy Yasutsugu Suzuki is visiting us at Etienne Simon-Loriere ! Several days of discussions with the view of the city calm before olympics. P.S. the soccer player before the game pose was unintentional:)

🦟 Un cas autochtone de #chikungunya, c'est-à-dire avec transmission locale, a été recensé en Île-de-France. Une nouvelle preuve que le moustique-tigre, vecteur notamment du chikungunya, a colonisé quasiment toute la France. 1/2

Simone Biles taught a valuable lesson at the Olympics: Overcoming adversity takes time. Resilience is not about how quickly you bounce back—it’s about how fully you recover. You can’t judge people’s strength when they fall. Their fortitude is visible when they rise again.

Today, we declare #Mpox a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security. With 2,863 confirmed cases and 517 deaths across 13 African countries in 2024 alone, Mpox is a crisis demanding our collective action. Africa CDC is activating resources, partnerships, and leading

Ryan Hisner The Sato Lab (Kei Sato) Eric Topol 3. Sorry, KP.3 for the latter. Work is looking at this is here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Olivier's team see the same here with JN.1 BUT with primary clinical isolates. nature.com/articles/s4146…

In this preprint (not yet peer-reviewed), we estimated that the duck #vaccination campaign against highly pathogenic avian influenza #HPAI that was implemented in France in 2023-2024 led a relative reduction of the epidemic size of between 92% and 98%. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Reconstructing virus evolutionary history is hard! Structural prediction and phylogenetics can help👍 Check out our new study out in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… University of Sydney Sydney Health

Happy to finally see our (improved) version of our EVE detection pipeline out for everyone to use :) with Nadja Brait and Thomas Hackl
