🦟 Really excited for our next seminar! @chantalvogels.bsky.social (Yale) on how mosquito & virus factors shape Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of dengue; a key question for biocontrol.
Thurs 16 April, 4pm UK / 11am ET
📍 Zoom — DM or email us for the link, all welcome!
Join Prof Gong Cheng (Tsinghua University) for our International Arbovirus Biology Seminar, exploring the molecular basis of flavivirus infection in mosquitoes and determinants of vector competence.
All welcome! Please help with a repost.
#Arbovirus #Flavivirus #VectorBiology
Looks set to be a very useful and collaborative meeting on arboviruses and their vectors, later this year. 👇
Prof. Claudia Nunes Duarte dos Santos (Fiocruz, Brazil) will present the discovery of Pirahy virus—a newly identified alphavirus from Brazilian mosquitoes with features suggesting emergence potential.
Thursday 19th Feb by Zoom.
All welcome! Just DM your email for the link.
Zoom seminar:
Drawing on recent mechanistic and genetic studies, Prof Andres Merits' talk will highlight how #alphavirus #replication complex function intersects with innate #immune sensing and restriction, offering fresh perspectives on virus–host co-evolution and antiviral targeting. All welcome!
Later today, Thursday. 👇
Henrik Salje (Cambridge) joins us to discuss how dengue risk shifts across the lifespan.
His team uses multigenerational cohorts and antigenic cartography to reveal how population immunity is reshaping its ecology, and what this means for disease risk/vaccines.
All welcome! Message us for Zoom link.
Our last seminar was so popular, we reached our Zoom capacity for attendees. Folks contacted us to say they couldn't join. Sorry! We plan to increase the capacity by a few hundred, so that this shouldn’t happen again. Thanks for your patience and your interest in these seminars!
Later today, Thursday 20th.
Psyched to say that Mike Diamond is talking at our next seminar. THURSDAY 20th Nov. All welcome!
World leading #virology not to be missed - just email us for a Zoom link.
Please help us with a re-post to get the word out 👍
NEW SEMINAR - Thursday 16th October, all welcome! 🦟 How do mosquitoes fight infection at the gene level? Using precision nuclear run-on sequencing (PRO-seq), Pascal and team captured transcription as it happens in Ae aegypti, offering new insights into vector biology and host–pathogen interactions.
See you later today :-)
(Thursday 18th).
See you Thursday 18th for our first seminar of the series with the inspiring @priyashah.bsky.social from @ucdavis.bsky.social with her talk
“Harder, better, faster, stronger: integrating virology and engineering to drive discovery”.
All welcome! email us for the zoom link.
We’re back with another season of monthly seminars bringing together diverse and leading investigators worldwide to share cutting-edge arbovirus science.
🧬 Topics span molecular virology, virus–vector interactions, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and more.

Hi everyone, what's up? We have our monthly seminar this week, with some super cool work on arbovirus entry receptors from leading researcher Jolanda Smit from @unigroningen.bsky.social
All welcome - help spread the news with a re-post 🙂
NOTE THE EARLIER TIME for everyone outside the USA
Excited to announce our next speaker Dr William de Souza who will be presenting work on virus transmission dynamics of #emerging #arboviruses NEXT THURSDAY.
Will be great to get some perspective from an up-and-coming investigator. PLEASE help with a repost for this community driven seminar series.
See you later today, Thursday 16th, for this virtual seminar from leading investigator Luke Alphey. 👇
All welcome!
See you THURSDAY 16th for this exciting seminar on the new world of GM #mosquitoes, designed to be refractory to #arbovirus infection, by Prof Luke Alphey, York. All welcome on Zoom - please help with a post!
