Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, worst level in 30 years theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

Measles isn't just a mild infection—it kills 1 in 1,000 and weakens children's immunity long- term. The virus targets and destroys lymphocytes memory cells, reducing the immune system's ability to respond effectively to pathogens.

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from Margot Riggi :

🦟 Do you know that #Dengue local transmission has occurred in Southern Europe countries like #Croatia, #Italy, #France, #Portugal & #Spain in recent years⁉️ 🦠In 2024 all records were overcomed with more than 300 autochtonous cases in #Europe‼️ #VectorControl #Aedes #Arboviruses

Can AlphaFold3 predict the function of viral proteins? I'll be giving an online seminar about it on March 27! Registration is free sib.swiss/training/cours…

Quand un virus en drague un autre. « Qu'as-tu prévu de faire après la pandémie ? » Bob Englehart, cartoonist, Etats-Unis, PoliticalCartoons

Our work on cryptic infection of giant viruses was published today in Science Magazine. We discovered a large virus hiding within a green algal genome producing virions. Collaborative effort spearheaded by Virginia Tech, University of Miami & NIOZ scientists. bit.ly/4lroSyC

New outbreak of the Chikungunya virus on the island of La Réunion transmitted locally by Aedes albopictus. The virus probably originates from an Aedes aegypti African lineage; it has acquired mutations to adapt to Albopictus. rfi.fr/en/france/2025…

The Oropouche virus (Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense) has re-emerged in Latin America. It is transmitted by mosquitoes and has sloths and monkeys as animal hosts. Geographically, it is associated with banana plantations. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Encouraging news about #measles: the variety of the virus has decreased significantly over the last 30 years: since 2021, only two genotypes, B3 and D8, have been detected mdpi.com/2076-393X/12/7… The measles virus could be eradicated if we succeed in vaccinating humanity.

Just came across celtic legends virus yesterday at arena Geneva. Be careful, his good mood is contagious!
