Why do some viruses linger for life? A 900,000-person study maps viral loads Some viruses that make us sick are cleared by the immune system within days, while others lurk in our bodies for a lifetime and reemerge later to cause new problems. How and why viral levels in the…

Genes from giant viruses help polar algae survive frigid waters and harsh sunlight A prior infection may create lasting, beneficial evolutionary change in these hardy microbes

Tiny #algae living in the harsh conditions of the world’s polar #oceans may owe their survival to hundreds of genes borrowed from so-called giant #viruses. www.science.org/content/arti...

..."Because many different #viruses can cause #meningitis, the way in which the virus is spread will depend on its type.
#Enteroviruses (one of the most common causes of viral meningitis) are carried harmlessly in the intestines of both children and adults" 2/

Congratulations 👏👏🏆

RNA for #viruses, not DNA.

Most cells and DNA in our body are from #bacteria and #viruses and cannot be washed off :) Same re our food.

E.g. E.coli bacteria produce essential vitamin K and B6 for us in our gut. Only 4 species out of 1 million are pathogens for humans.

One week from today is our symposium w/PCREV, "Rising Temperatures and Emerging Diseases: Science in a Changing Landscape"! Keynote Discussion w/ @michaelemann.bsky.social & @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social

Bizarre anti-masker logic: full-time exposure to dangerous #viruses is better than being protected even part of the time.

Anti-vaxxers also demand perfection, ignoring that a vaccine offering 90%, 50% or even 10% protection is better than 0%. This stuff isn't hard.

Dangerous #viruses & #mutations will continue to be a major threat until we stop needlessly exploiting animals. We kill 140,000 chickens every single minute - & that’s only 1/many bird species we exploit

If you care enough to act - go vegan

The symbiosis between #bacteria & #viruses is the only essential foundation for all other life on Earth. How much do we know about bacteria?

"This means that the fraction of microbial diversity that we have sampled to date is effectively zero, a nice abstract entity to end on."
