Our jGfV @gesvirologie.bsky.social "One Health and Zoonotic Viruses" workshop, was a great success. We had great presentations by young scientists from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Ghana, as well as a fantastic keynote by @marcelamueller.bsky.social .

Two great events, one location! 🧬 Right after the One Health Symposium, join the Zoonotic Virus Transmission & One Health workshop by Junge @gesvirologie.bsky.social
Open to students, postdocs & ECRs. Register by Aug 15: onehealth.g-f-v.org/registration...

Dear Infection Researchers and Colleagues,

With the registration deadline for this year's jGfV workshop, "One Health and Zoonotic Viruses," approaching, I would like to remind you about our meeting once again.
Register/submit your abstract by August 15.

I am deeply honored to receive the @eswinfluenza.bsky.social best young scientist award. Of course, this would not have been possible without the support of my mentors, collaboration partners, and colleagues. Thank you all; I am deeply grateful! Let's continue doing great science together!

Dear Infection Researchers, We are pleased to announce this year's jGfV "One Health and Zoonotic Viruses" workshop, which will take place in Berlin on October 15th and 16th. Please spread the word and visit our website for more information onehealth.g-f-v.org
We look forward to seeing you there.

Indeed great meeting. Happy that some of our friends from the US joined the meeting! @schountz.bsky.social @arthurwickenhagen.bsky.social

Everything is ready for the symposium "Molecular Determinants of Zoonotic Viruses and Beyond" in Freiburg. We are looking forward to a great program and speakers, and meeting friends.

Influenza A Viren werden anhand ihrer 2 Oberflächenproteine - Hämagglutinin, Neuraminidase - in verschiedene Subtypen, wie beispielsweise H5N1 unterschieden. Dieser Subtyp stammt ursprünglich von Wasservögeln, hat aber die Möglichkeit sich an andere Vögel, Säugetiere & uns Menschen anzupassen

Daher konnten wir @kciminski.bsky.social, Gruppenleiter an der Universität Freiburg, der H5N1 und Influenza Viren in Fledermäusen erforscht, und @njhalwe.bsky.social, PostDoc in der Diagnostik am Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut, der sich mit H5N1 Infektionen in Tieren befasst, ein paar Fragen stellen:

Human MxA suppresses replication of HPAI isolated from mammals in vitro and in MxA-transgenic mice. But, H5N1 can evade via replacement of individual viral polymerase complex components.

We are pleased to be able to make our scientific contribution to the understanding of H5N1 viruses. In a study that will be published soon @Emerging infectious diseases, we investigated restriction of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses by the human innate immune factor MxA.

New post on some preliminary – but troubling – signals about the direction H5N1 might be taking: kucharski.substack.com/p/h5n1-influ...

Es sind bislang Einzelfälle (aktuell ein Kind in Kalifornien, ein Teenager in Kanada), aber zeigt das Risiko auf, dass das #Vogelgrippe Virus (H5N1 #Influenza) mit sich bringt. Wir müssen das Virus genau beobachten und studieren, um im Fall der Fälle schnell reagieren zu können. (MB)
