🚨 Cook Islands has declared a dengue outbreak. With rising cases across the Pacific 🌴🦟, it's vital to take action. ✅ Accept residual spraying if offered ✅ Protect your home & community ✅ Keep surrounding areas clean Let’s stop dengue together. #PacMOSSI

Great to see Dr Daniel Rawle back at UQ, now leading the Emerging Viral Diseases Lab. His team is dissecting viral replication and immunopathology to develop antivirals, vaccines, and anti-inflammatories. Exciting work in motion at @QIMRB_Institute 🦠🧬 #virology

🦠11th European Meeting on Viral Zoonoses September 20–23, 2025, Saint-Raphaël, France Join for cutting-edge #virology, sunshine, and sea views! Speakers include Grazia Cusi, Mark Taylor, Martin Beer, Giuseppe Balistreri, Anna Overby & Nolwenn Jouvenet. 🔗shorturl.at/xmIEm

@RhysHParry and I found some weird influenza B viruses in fish. For 2, the HA's bind a2,3 sialic acid ("bird type receptor"). The Siamese algae eater virus NA has a highly conserved structure and active site. No cross-reactive antibodies in human sera. 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did you know there are influenza B-like viruses in fish? You want to know more? We characterized HAs and NAs of these novel viruses together with @gabagagan , @RobertPdeVries1 , @TheBoonsGroup, @WardLab1 and @VivianaSimonLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
