👂🚨¡Estoy buscando usuarios de Oxford #nanopore en Costa Rica o América Latina! Quiero preguntarses, ¿cómo es su experiencia recibiendo reactivos en su país? 🙏

Next week, we're talking to Dr. Daniel Streicker from University of Glasgow! His lab (Bats 'N' Viral Bytes) investigates pathogen transmission between species. 🦇 Check out their recent work on #rabies in vampire bats: bit.ly/4707zNQ

Are you a virologist? Think about coming to do science with us. We have not one but two senior PI positions available at the CVR…

Meet Megan Griffiths! 🦇 Megan is part of the Bats 'N' Viral Bytes team in the Streicker Lab and recently completed her PhD which explored methods of tackling #VampireBat transmitted #rabies. Watch Megan explain her interesting research in the video below 👇

The Bats 'N' Viral Bytes team study transmission of #rabies virus in wild vampire bats to inform interventions – but how do they do this? The team are working with the Glasgow Science Centre (Glasgow Science Centre) to develop an interactive exhibit to take visitors behind the scenes of bat research.

📢 VACANCY | #ResearchAssociate Develop and validate quantitative models which seek to understand human and livestock susceptibility to novel viral infections. Daniel Streicker 📆 Deadline: 7 Sept Info: bit.ly/CVR-WorkWithUs… Ref 124948 Apply: gla.ac.uk/explore/jobs/?…

Este Día Mundial de la Rabia, discuto nuestra Universidad de Glasgow-OIRSA collaboración para la secuenciación de la #rabia en Centroamérica, junto a expertas en rabia de la región. Reunamos: 📅Jueves 28 septiembre ⏰3:00 pm UK / 4:00 pm Europa Central Para conectar👇

We are recruiting a post-doc (or talented PhD student) who is excited about combining computational tools and field data from food animal systems to address practical questions about the interplay between virus evolution, immunity, and epidemiology. #virus #fmd #prrs #livestock

The Microbiology Society is pleased to announce the winners of our 2024 Prizes, which will be awarded at our #Microbio24 in Edinburgh from 8-11 April, where the winners will present their Prize Lectures. Find out more about our Prize winners: microb.io/47dE4Y5

Congratulations to Daniel Streicker on receiving the #Microbio24 Fleming Prize 2024

In our quest for new vampire 🦇roosts, we travelled 300km to another department called Ica; with some intensive asking-around at different government institutions, 4 days later, we finally found a new vampire bat roost, next to the sea with many pinnipeds around🤩🌊🦭THANK U team

📄 PUBLICATION | Rita Ribeiro & colleagues map partially observed disease reservoirs such as vampire bats by using innovative statistical modelling to pinpointed high-risk areas for future viral incursions in rabies-free zones. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Bats 'N' Viral Bytes @UofG_SBOHVM

Spatial modelling with Rita Ribeiro and @JMatthiopoulos found that most vampire bat roosts in the rabies endemic Peruvian Andes remain undiscovered. This may explain the limited ability of bat population control to reduce spillover doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research @UofG_SBOHVM

Very happy to announce that our paper describing mutational signature dynamics in SARS-CoV-2 is out PLOS Comp Biol! Using the huge number of available sequences, we uncover a shifting landscape of mutational signatures operating throughout the pandemic! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

My Fleming Prize lecture from Microbiology Society 2024 is now online: "Stopping spillover: from understanding risk to control at the source." Thanks to to the society for the prize and to Bats 'N' Viral Bytes for the hard work! 🦇🧬📈 youtube.com/watch?v=ZuU4wT…
