Great news: #Tanzania 🇹🇿 has officially declared the end of the #Marburg virus disease outbreak.
Today, the Ministry of Health declared the end of the outbreak after 42 days with no new cases. This is a victory for public health in the country!

Thank you @gesvirologie.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to present our data on the preclinical efficacy of an MVA-based vaccine approach against Marburg virus.
Proud to be part of this great collaboration with the Volz lab, TiHo Hannover.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is transmitted by specific ticks. Present only south of 50’ latitude so far, global warming could make it move north. Within the German center for infection research (DZIF), @crnlsrhd.bsky.social at Marburg University develops vaccines against this virus.

Congratulations @cveeck.bsky.social! Very Well deserved
Yesterday was a truly special day – I successfully defended my doctoral thesis at the Institute of Virology in Marburg! After years of education, hard work, research, and perseverance—combined with passion, joy, and, at times, tears and challenges—I am beyond grateful to have reached this milestone.

To be or not to be phosphorylated: Understanding the role of Ebola virus nucleoprotein in the dynamic interplay with the transcriptional activator VP30 and the host phosphatase PP2A-B56
Ebola virus (EBOV) transcription is essentially regulated via dynamic dephosphorylation of its viral transcription activator VP30 by the host phosphatase PP2A. The nucleoprotein NP has emerged as a...
