Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus infection has been identified in a Lake Cargelligo resident, the first NSW case of JE this mosquito season.

I normally do not recommend articles behind paywall, but this is exciting work: an insect specific flavivirus was used as vector to deliver a surface protein of Zika virus as a vaccine. When immunising mice, they were protected from Zika virus challenge science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@andriislonchak @nhmrc @KhromykhAlex Congratulations!!

Very excited that @nhmrc provided us #ideas grant to dissect the mechanism of #flavivirus pathogenesis in human brain. As such @KhromykhAlex's lab is now hiring. We are looking for a postdoc, RA, and a PhD student to work on two research projects.

#JustPublished #IMPORTANT New #Omicron sub-lineage likely to cause further increase in #COVID19 cases. 5 EU/EEA countries have detected the circulation of the #SARSCoV2 variant sub-lineage BQ.1. Full info in the thread linked below. Press release: bit.ly/3z07w5q

Thank you to the wonderful Geoff Cumming for your most extraordinary generosity and for your trust in us to deliver new treatments for future pandemics. An incredible gift to Australia, Science and humanity @TheDohertyInst @UniMelb @TheRMH 🙏🙏🙏 🚀🪐

@TheDohertyInst @TheRMH @ICE_HBV Delighted, honoured and humbled to be awarded a Member of the Order of Australia. Dedicated to all people living with chronic hepatitis B- a vaccine preventable, treatable, but still incurable disease. The fight goes on!

Great night at the @TheASMR1 research gala with fellow @TheDohertyInst members!

The outbreak of monkeypox is starting to be worrisome. We have seen occasional imported cases, usually dead ending. In this situation, new cases have been detected in different countries. That is very unusual.

NEWS 📣: We've detected 2 additional cases of #Monkeypox, one in London and one in the South East of England, bringing the total number of monkeypox cases confirmed in England since 6 May to 9, with recent cases predominantly in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men.

There has been a significant increase in cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown cause in children aged 16 years and younger in several countries. No cases have been identified to date in Australia. (1/3)

🚨 New paper out! In this #SciencePerspective we outline the facets to the resurgence of H5N1. Since Oct 2021 there have been >3000 outbreaks of avian influenza, with substantial poultry losses, mass mortality events in wild birds, and human cases. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

UPDATE: Our investigation, with partners, into a rise in cases of sudden onset hepatitis (liver inflammation) in children aged 10, has identified a further 34 cases, bringing the total number to 108. Cont... 👇
