📢 New paper out!

We studied exposure to #flaviviruses and #AvianInfluenza virus in #urban house martins from southwestern Spain.

🧪 No viral RNA detected, but antibodies revealed.
🏘️ Urban birds may act as sentinels of zoonotic viruses.

#OneHealth #WildlifeDisease

West Nile virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Birds are the natural hosts of the virus, serving as a reservoir from which mosquitoes can acquire the infection.

Non-Confirmed Cases:
More nonspecific symptoms
Higher rates of vomiting, shivering, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, GI symptoms
May include false-positive serological results due to cross-reactivity with other #flaviviruses

Yellow fever is a viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes found in tropical and subtropical areas of South America and Africa.

Back home after a week of meetings and talks at #CDC Taiwan #ChangGung University in Taipei and #AcademiaSinica
It was an intense and inspiring exchange on our groups‘ latest work on #Dengue #Flaviviruses #OneHealth
- many very nice people showed us their beautiful country
Feeling grateful and happy

Sphingomyelins in mosquito saliva reconfigure skin lipidome to promote viral protein levels and enhance transmission of flaviviruses Medkour et al. demonstrate that lipids of the sphingomyelin class in mosquito saliva facilitate the transmission of multiple flaviviruses. These salivary sphingomyelins reconfigure lipid homeostasis i...

An important milestone for #FLAVIVACCINE research!

Our team's latest study in cell metabolism discovers that lipids in #mosquito saliva enhance transmission for multiple #flaviviruses. Such findings could apply to all arthropod-borne transmission.

Diagram showing how UFL1 interacts with flaviviral NS2A, Capsid, and NS3 proteins to promote viral assembly.

Excited to share our new paper led by recent PhD, Dr. Hannah Schmidt! We found that UFMylation unexpectedly promotes flavivirus particle production by specifically regulating viral assembly. Check it out! #virology #UFMylation #flaviviruses

#Flaviviruses #WestNileVirus

Being part of a European project comes with many advantages. Eudald Vehí Piqué, a PhD student at @irsicaixa.es coordinating partner—shared his thoughts on what being part of this kind of international initiative means to him🎥👇#EuropeanResearch #EU #Flaviviruses

#Dengue, #YellowFever, #Zika and West Nile fever are all caused by #flaviviruses.

What is the current status of vaccination coverage?

The #FLAVIVACCINE project tries to stand out by aiming to protect against multiple flaviviruses within one formulation.

There is a second clade of tick #flaviviruses, including Ngoye/Mpulungu #flavivirus. We present Xinyang flavivirus from H. flava in China. These unculturable #viruses are likely "tick-only" with high CpG content and a tendency towards virion immaturity.
