Also many thanks to @felixhol @RichardBartfai and others not on twitter for critical reading and @radboudumc @radboudumc_weet for the ongoing support.
Exciting meeting on RNA biology in pathogen-host interactions in Porto. Abstract submission deadline on April 25. epiviral.eu/rna-biology-in-h…
Wonderful news! Congratulations Pascal!

At the final stretch of 2023, our latest publication came out: an experimental virus evolution study in fruit flies:
Parallel evolution and enhanced virulence upon in vivo passage of an RNA virus in Drosophila melanogaster academic.oup.com/ve/article/….
We investigated whether absence or presence of RNAi affected RNA virus evolution. We find slightly more polymorphisms in the absence of RNAi, but a much stronger effect was the parallel evolution of capsid mutations leading to enhanced virulence.
By PhD students Oscar Lezcano and @LaraFuhrmann_96 of @viroinf. Thanks to Niko Beerenwinkel and Martijn Huynen for the wonderful collaboration! @radboudumc_weet

Excited to announce the lineup for the 4th International virtual seminars on #arbovirus biology. Investigators will present their research on a range of topics, from differing career stages and perspectives. Help spread the word with a retweet! All welcome!
Starts 19th Oct.

Happy to share our analyses of published mosquito virome papers. Composition and global distribution of the mosquito virome - A compreh... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. @radboudumc_weet @ncohnl @OneHealthPact
The paper includes a searchable database. We hope this will be a useful resource for anyone interested in mosquito-associated viruses. Thanks to editors @BarryRockx @ReinaSikkema @MarionKoopmans en Maarten Schrama for editing the special issue.
Our latest preprint from the lab, explained by first author @QuJieqiong 👇 Hsf1-sHsp cascade has antiviral activity in Aedes mosquitoes @radboudumc_weet
Happy to share our recent manuscript on antiviral response in mosquitoes. The newly identified Hsf1-sHsp cascade shows pan-antiviral activity in mosquitoes. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
