A great review by H. Günthard, K. Kuseko & R. Kouyos on how phylogenetics and molecular epidemiology are helping us understand HIV dynamics and how molecular insights can guide prevention and cure strategies.
New online! Phylogenetics and molecular evolution to understand and curb the HIV pandemic
Phylogenetics and molecular evolution to understand and curb the HIV pandemic
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 30 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01202-wIn this Review, Günthard, Kusejko and Kouyos examine how advances in phylogenetics and molecular epidemiology have deepened our understanding of the HIV pandemic, including tracing its zoonotic origins, monitoring transmission dynamics and prevention efforts, and understanding pathogenesis.

Congratulations to @benhale.bsky.social and colleagues for their insightful research on how auto-antibody decoys can restore antiviral immunity!
AutoAbs neutralizing IFN-Is exacerbate severe viral diseases. Groen, @benhale.bsky.social et al. @virology.uzh.ch identify IFN-I regions commonly targeted by these autoAbs and develop a proof-of-concept decoy strategy to alleviate pathogenic effects. rupress.org/jem/article/...
