Desde la SEV, os invitamos a la Conferencia anual RAC-SEV que pronunciará el Prof. Mauricio García Mateu (@cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social) en la sede de la @raciencias.bsky.social el 4 de noviembre, a las 18 h: "Virus, fuerzas, fármacos y nanomateriales"

Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by AI, and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of E. coli go.nature.com/3Khz3aR

A patient with cystic fibrosis overcomes rejection of lung transplant through phage therapy! My colleagues from @i2sysbio.es led by Pilar Domingo Calap @pilardomingoc.bsky.social are saving patients' lives with phages.

Interesantísima sesión “Fagoma y nuevos sistemas anti-fago” en el XXX Congreso de la Sociedad Española de Microbiología #SEM, moderado por Jesús López Romalde, compañero y miembro de la Junta Directiva de la #SEV.

H5N1 avian flu infects a fifth patient in Cambodia www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

Microbe with bizarrely tiny genome may be evolving into a virus | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

If you’re curious how vaccines are developed, read this ⬇️ Stay informed and stick with science. #VaccinesWork! www.who.int/news-room/fe...

⭐ La importancia de las vacunas 💉 Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, las vacunas evitan cada año entre 3,5 y 5 millones de muertes por enfermedades como la difteria, el tétanos, la tosferina, la gripe y el sarampión. 👇

Esto es lamentable y muy peligroso: ante una infección viral (por el virus del sarampión o cualquier otro) ni las vitaminas ni los antibióticos tienen efecto alguno. El sarampión se evita con las VACUNAS efectivas que tenemos y se estaban usando, por mucho que les pese a negacionistas como RFKJr.

Top virologists from over 40 countries urge global leaders to address the growing threat of bird flu by boosting surveillance, enhancing biosecurity, and preparing for poss human-to-human transmission. #BlueSky #MedSky #IDSky #SciSky #EMSKy #NurseSky www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.

US CDC cancels science group workshop on preventing human bird flu infections reut.rs/3YOyWIg

Good luck getting an updated flu or COVID vaccine. Under RFK's new rules, they won't be available in time. There's going to be a lot of sick people next year. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The US is stumbling in its response to bird flu, while the virus keeps evolving, reports @apoorvanyt.bsky.social 4/10 nyti.ms/3GvSkU3

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

The scientific community must take a strong and active stand against vaccine revisionism — the false narrative that there is insufficient evidence to support the safety and efficacy of vaccines www.nature.com/articles/s41... #vaccines #immunology #virology

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵

Every so-called “proof” offered by the White House and others pushing the lab leak theory has been thoroughly debunked. Don’t just take my word for it - watch this episode of This Week in Virology where a panel of Virology PhDs dismantle the misinformation point by point. youtu.be/rZ1FGCPenns?...

After over 3 years of negotiations, WHO Member States have finalized a draft #PandemicAccord to make the world safer from future pandemics. The draft agreement will now be submitted to WHO’s Member States meeting at the #WHA78 for consideration and adoption. bit.ly/3EaZQmL

Kennedy’s prescription for #BirdFlu? Let it spread so as to identify birds that may be immune. It is like following the protocol for starting a new pandemic. Allowing the virus to mutate over and over again. We are so screwed. #H5N1 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/h...

Al cumplirse 5 años del confinamiento por la pandemia de #COVID19, es un buen momento para recordar las 40 fichas #InfoSEV "Preguntas y respuestas sobre COVID-19 y SARS-CoV-2" que preparábamos y difundíamos diariamente desde la Junta Directiva de la #SEV: sevirologia.es/divulgacion/
