We celebrated the 100th anniversary of HR Carter's seminal lecture on YF's potential threat to Asia-Pacific area with a perspective to draw attention to the potential reasons why YF epidemics have not occurred in urban centers in the region. @sbvirologia.bsky.social @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social

We detected yellow fever virus in Haemagogus mosquitoes collected in 2022 in an Amazon rainforest bordering Manaus, Brazil. The viral genome sequence occupied a basal position within the South American I genotype 1E lineage.

One positive thing that happend this otherwise challenging week is that this paper is FINALLY out. Why are Culex tarsalis so good at spreading West Nile virus? We learned a lot by doing this study. A testament to the tenacity and creativity of Dr. Emily Fitzmeyer. journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Exited to see my talented student's review of her dissertation work out. www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/17.... @rossilab.bsky.social @utmbnews.bsky.social @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social

Even at “just” 7.0 logs per mL, a 300mL glass of milk with breakfast would have over a billion infectious particles. Call me crazy, but a breakfast of champions that is NOT.

There can only be one me. Help me let @bsky.app be aware that I’m the real me. Many thanks, Mar🐫 🙏 ♥️ 👍

our collaborative research with the Hanley, Rossi @rossilab.bsky.social, Azar @azarsr.bsky.social and Cecilia labs highlighting the importance of incorporating individual-level heterogeneity of vector biting in arbovirus transmission models just dropped. www.cell.com/iscience/ful....

Yesterday, Dr. Maurício Nogueira passed the presidency of ACAV to the new president, Dr. Shannan Rossi. We are grateful for his leadership and excited for the future under her guidance!

our new collaborative work with the Weaver lab, WRCEVA and Brazilian partners on how heterologous flavivirus immunity may prevent urban transmission of yellow fever was just dropped. doi.org/10.1038/s414....

Couldn’t find a virology starter pack so here’s one to get the ball rolling. Repost/reply if you are a virologist so I can find and add you to the list! go.bsky.app/SinqoJU

A great collaborative effort with the @Virology_FAMERP and others showing Dengue and SARS-CoV-2 co-circulation and overlapping infections in hospitalized patients has dropped. frontiersin.org/journals/cellu….

Made a starter package for vector-borne disease folks! Please feel free to comment if you'd like to be added or see somebody missing. This is just the start and grabbed as many as I could quickly find! 🦟 go.bsky.app/U8D4FV2

Here's a recent-ish paper from the group looking at WNV and SLEV coinfection in a variety of different systems. This has been in progress for a long time. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Congratulations to Prof. Shannan Rossi for being elected as Felow of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene as well as being chair-elect of the American Committee on Arthropod-Borne Viruses and Zoonotic Viruses (ACAV).

Congrats to @vasilakislab.bsky.social for winning ACAV’s Dalrymple-Young award at ASTMH 2023!
