🚨 New paper in @Eurosurveillanc - @9MustafaKaratas We used shotgun metagenomics on indoor air in a Belgian daycare to track respiratory, enteric & skin viruses. 👉 40/42 samples contained human viruses—even when kids seemed healthy! 📄 Read here: https://t.co/9upLi0uJWG

Congratulations @SeverineVermei1! The first female rector of the @KULeuven!

💩🦠 Happy to present our paper on the engraftment of the enteric #virome in #UC patients receiving an #FMT-> temporal (~5 weeks) virome shift towards the healthy donor, primarily driven by #microviruses. @SeverineVermei1 @RaesLab https://t.co/gE2JpoonxL

Check out our latest paper on how #wastewater can be used to track animal and #zoonotic #viruses in urban settings! https://t.co/t8nF0sg8CA

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 How did the #COVID_19 pandemic impact #rotavirus epidemiology in Belgium? Read all about it in our latest paper in @Eurosurveillanc : https://t.co/dNbF8zzBNZ @9MustafaKaratas @ELwollants @vanranstmarc

🚨 Save the Date! 🚨 We're excited to announce #ViBioM2025, the International Virus Bioinformatics Meeting, happening 13–15 May 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal! 🦠💻 Stay tuned for further details: https://t.co/VbcGlFRbsY #VirusBioinformatics

Mark your calendars for next year Sep 12th in Ghent!

🪱🦠 Parasitaire rondwormen, die zowel mens als dier kunnen infecteren, dragen virussen met zich mee die op hun beurt interageren met het menselijk immuunsysteem. #kuleuven-viroloog @JMatthijnssens werkte mee aan de studie @NatureMicrobiol 👇

Evidence that #viruses of #nematodes interact with the human immune system, potentially influencing disease outcome. Great collaboration between @LSTMnews @KU_Leuven @UAntwerpen @DeconinckLander @SQuek_001 @AmberHadermann @colebunders2 https://t.co/uniOGiedzj

Our third annual symposium is slowly getting closer! Abstracts due by August 1st! Come join us in Brussels 😎

It has taken us a while to deliver this ba”bee” about #viruses in Belgian #honeybees and their association with #winterloss! Great collaboration between #KULeuven & #UGent & @DirkDeGraag & #EPILOBEE @BakkerWD

Thanks #MaxBrol ! I wish I could have been there with you at #EASLcongress ! Say hi to the entire @MicrobPredict bunch! ❤️

It was an honor to host the #ViBioM2024 meeting in #Leuven @ the #RegaInsitute the last 3 days! Great science @ the interface of #Virology & #Bioinformatics! Fantastic to welcome old friends and make new ones! Hope to see you all again in Lisbon @ #ViBioM2025 🦠 🖥️

Excited to announce that #ViBioM2024 will be live streamed! Free access for all non-industry professionals. Registration deadline: 24 May 2024 Don't miss out on this exclusive opportunity to join us virtually. #Livestream https://t.co/cMXEAdL6Zs

I am so happy to be part of this research and present it! Looking forward to #ESCMIDGlobal #ECCMID24 🥳 If you are wondering what is in the air, your place is Hall B on the 30th of April, 8.30 🤠
