Thrilled to share the first major preprint from the lab. Viruses are classically viewed as targets of host sensing. Do viruses also sense and respond to the host? We propose viruses may act as “biosensors” of the host signaling state. A thread👇🏾 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

West Nile death reported in California The death, in a county where high numbers of West Nile virus-positive mosquitoes and dead birds have been found, is the fifth West Nile-related death in the state this year.

Europe's record mosquito-borne disease activity could signal new normal Rising temperatures, longer summers, milder winters, and changing rainfall patterns are creating more favorable conditions for mosquito populations. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c... Photo: Judy Gallagher/Flickr cc

If you love #viruses, #ribosomes, and genomic #darkmatter, this thread is for you!! 💫 We're excited to share our new publication developing Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP), which uncovered ~4,000 hidden proteins in ~700 viral genomes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Because there's not enough going on: Arizona has found #H5N1 #birdflu in milk and it looks like yet another spillover from wild birds. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/a...

Vaccines work! As measles cases have recently been reported in Alaska, Georgia, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, it's important to remember that prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles killed 400-500 people and resulted in ~48,000 hospitalizations per year.

A great reminder that not only respiratory viral infections rise during the winter season, but other pathogens like #Norovirus also come in yearly waves.

There have been an unusually high number of norovirus outbreaks in the U.S. this month, according to the CDC. Here’s what to know about symptoms, treatment, and reducing your risk of infection. nyti.ms/4gyr6JO

From conjunctivitis to critical illness in 96 hours after infection with #H5N1 influenza (the bird strain D1.1). Three antivirals plus plasma exchange treatment were necessary 👀. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
