L’@institutpasteur a réalisé le séquençage complet de la souche Andes détectée chez une passagère française du MV Hondius. Le virus analysé correspond aux souches déjà connues et surveillées en Amérique du Sud. À ce stade, aucun élément ne laisse penser à l’apparition d’un variant susceptible d’être plus transmissible ou plus dangereux. Ce travail de séquençage nous permet de mieux comprendre le virus et de garantir une surveillance sanitaire étroite. Les données seront partagées avec la communauté scientifique internationale selon les protocoles en vigueur.

JVI just updated its scope! Thinking of submitting your research to JVI? Check out our scope page to see what topics we cover and what we don't. journals.asm.org/journal/jvi/sc…

Nextstrain #ANDV trees updated with a few improvements: - 2 outbreaks marked - host scientific/common name added - province now visible on map - date colouring added Here's a quick tour of how to change colours, geography & names! Links to trees here: nextstrain.org/groups/hodcrof…

Take a look at our recent work on the seasonal coronavirus HKU1. We developed the first cell line–based system to propagate the virus and explore its biology. HKU1 grows much better at 33°C, the temperature of the nasal cavity, than at 37°C lnkd.in/exNCVxyd

some updates and small corrections on the hantavirus phylogeny below: virological.org/t/complete-seq… the cruise ship virus is from ANDV Clade 3 (see Fig2A doi.org/10.1128/mspher…) Clade 3 has confirmed human cases, Clade 2 has confirmed H2H, safe to assume both can H2H #ANDV

BREAKING🔔 The 57th paper from G2P-Japan🇯🇵 is out at Cell @CellPressNews🦇!! We elucidated the virological characteristics of a new bat coronavirus identified in Thailand🇹🇭 The debut work by “G2P-Asia🌏”. Please repost🔥 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I’m amazed. It’s really true: the BA.3.2 COVID lineage is infecting children at a much higher rate than previous lineages. I’m late to this party, but I couldn’t really believe it was true until I did the analysis for myself. 1/

SARS-CoV-2 continue to surprise us with evolutionary jumps. In this pre-print, we describe the Identification and genomic characterisation of BA.3.2: a highly divergent BA.3-related SARS-CoV-2 lineage from southern Africa. A thread 🧵 medrxiv.org/content/10.648…

🚀 New preprint! The Human Cytokine Dictionary - 9.7M cells, 12 donors, 90 cytokines - our largest human single-cell perturbation atlas yet. Users can map cytokine activity in their own data. Huge thanks to Lukas, Sören, Larsen, Parse Bio & Seelig lab! 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Public trust in science has declined since COVID — virologists need to unite around safety standards nature.com/articles/d4158…

With 30 new BA.3.2 sequences from the Netherlands and Denmark uploaded today, this is beginning to have a look of inevitability about it. Still waiting for a recombinant that restores ORF7a, ORF7b, and ORF8 (all entirely deleted in BA.3.2).

We're learning how to control our immune system and cure some patients with autoimmune diseases, like lupus and multiple sclerosis. After CAR T (vs protein on B cell surface, CD19 or CD20) the new B cells are rebooted, no longer self attack

The Journal of Virology is proud to announce the selected candidates of the inaugural New Voices in Virology minireview collection. Congratulations to these early-career virologists who were chosen from over 275 applicants. See journals.asm.org/journal/jvi/jv…. #virology @JVirology

🚨 Preprint alter - bis 🚨 I am thrilled to share our last preprint where we identify and characterize a new coronavirus receptor! 🦠 This work was done in collaboration with the team of Félix Rey @virusfusion007 at the Institut Pasteur. A 🧶 below... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 New preprint alert 🚨 We searched for the presence of coronaviruses in >200 bat individuals across Spain 🦠🦇🇪🇸. We recovered 6 complete coronavirus genomes, including 3 novel species. One of them could use bat and human ACE2 for entry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 La Société Française de Virologie vous souhaite une excellente année 2025 !  ✨ Que cette nouvelle année soit riche en succès pour toute la communauté scientifique. 🦠 Rendez-vous aux #JFV2025 pour écrire ensemble une nouvelle page en virologie ! 🔬 #BonneAnnée2025
