Excited to share our paper on viral load dynamics of West Nile virus in mosquitoes! Key findings: 1. Variation in pooled Ct values from mosquito traps reflect underlying biological and epidemiological mechanisms. 2. WNV prevalence estimates are improved by using Cts rather than +ve/-ve pool status.

We're hiring a modelling postdoc at PSI Oxford for two exciting projects: 1) modelling the early immune responses to Nipah vaccination, and 2) joining the PRESTO team working on immunobridging in vaccine evaluation studies. tinyurl.com/5abbxrjh Get in touch for more info! Deadline 4th August.

Our latest paper www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... shows that mass PCR testing could control a range of potential respiratory pandemics at low societal cost. We also explore logistics. Even a prototype would be really nice now with H5N1. @jameshay.bsky.social 1/9

Hello influenza enthusiasts! You may be interested in our recent publication linked below. We used multi-strain serology to figure out who got infected with which A/H3N2 influenza strain and when, allowing us to reconstruct epidemiological patterns back to 1968 stratified by time, age and location.

New study tracking epidemic dynamics using cycle threshold values (a proxy for viral load) from routine hospital and community testing. This is the next step of our work from 2021 showing that the population distribution of Ct values over time is related to SARS-CoV-2 epidemic growth rates.

NEW EPISODE #ScienceInContext! This week Dr @eonore.bsky.social speaks with Dr @jameshay.bsky.social of the Big Data Institute about influenza: who, where and when influenza infections are likely to occur using antibody profiles and individual infection histories 👇 youtu.be/Ux6yDWO_c8I

Reconstructed influenza A/H3N2 infection histories using multistrain serology, paper out in PLOS Biology plos.io/3YIDQpt! We inferred lifetime infections and antibody levels for 1130 individuals in Guangzhou, China, giving insights into long-term influenza incidence and immunity. Thread below:
