Establishment and characterization of a novel cell line from Culex tritaeniorhynchus for arbovirus and arthropod-specific virus research

CtrE1, the first Cx. tritaeniorhynchus cell line, with broad virus susceptibility and genetic tractability, provides a valuable in vitro platform for investigating mosquito–virus interactions, #ViralSurveillance, and control strategies.

The evolution and future of influenza pandemic preparedness - Experimental & Molecular Medicine The long history of combating and planning for influenza pandemics should inform the fight against novel coronaviruses such as SARS-Cov-2. Richard Webby and co-workers at St. Jude Children’s Research ...

Until the virus can sustain human-to-human infections, it doesn't pose a huge risk. But, letting it continue to replicate without surveillance and intervention gives it room to evolve.

Long story short, support #ViralSurveillance & #PandemicPreparedness!

Bats in China found to carry novel herpesviruses, hinting at cross-species transmission dangers Researchers in Wuhan, China, have identified new strains ofβ and γ-herpesviruses in bats. These findings reveal potential cross-species transmission risks and emphasize the need for vigilant monitorin...
