Tomorrow I @Sayedabdelwhab will hold my first talk in @ESWInfluenza on H7N1 antigenic drift and impact on virus replication and selection in human and avian cells and poultry eggs Auditorium 2 - Breakout at 11:00

Avian flu viruses may not swap genes as much as we thought! Phylogenetic errors can make reassortment look bigger than it really is. 🦆🧬 #Influenza #VirusEvolution” Preprint (not yet peer-reviewed): https://t.co/XlybEbP7OA”

Es sieht so aus, als ob die Influenzasaison heuer auf der Nordhalbkugel frueh beginnt. Jetzt ist ein guter Zeitpunkt sich impfen zu lassen.

@mbeisen Awesome! We have a similar platform that works for any journal!! (>8K) We also ensure that references aren't removed, headings are correct, and all the other details you need to submit your manuscript. Glad to see more tools innovating in this space. https://t.co/pO0Dwhpu3b

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! https://t.co/J5HekY1Pc0

🐔 A newly identified chicken lncRNA (lncRNA-up4) boosts H9N2 influenza replication by dampening antiviral responses (IFN-β, MX1, OAS-1) and modulating cytokines. This highlights lncRNAs as key regulators of virus–host interactions in poultry. 🔗

🚨 A 2024 H9N2 avian influenza virus shows enhanced replication in human respiratory organoids, unlike older strains, highlighting growing human adaptation and zoonotic risk. 🧫 Organoid models prove vital for pandemic preparedness. 🔗

🦠💧 Surprise :)?! The free-living ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis can engulf and inactivate influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 via two distinct endosomal pathways, acting both as a predator and potential vector in aquatic ecosystems. 🔗 https://t.co/DAAIWO3Odb

🐔🧬 AniMarkerDB opens a new era for animal genomics! Explore cell types & marker genes in livestock and poultry at single-cell resolution. 👉

🌏 Long-term genetic study of H10 avian influenza viruses in Taiwan reveals intense reassortment and frequent intercontinental gene flow between Eurasia and North America — highlighting the need for continued global surveillance. 🔗 https://t.co/4UPzAzdKq5

🚨 #HPAI Europe Update (Oct 6–14) H5N1 in poultry: 🇩🇪 Germany (Oct 11), 🇩🇰 Denmark (Oct 7), 🇱🇹 Lithuania (Oct 14) H5N1 in wild birds: 🇫🇷 France, 🇩🇰 Denmark New H7 in gulls: 🇵🇹 Portugal (Oct 13) https://t.co/goZ0SQCZOc

🦠 New study: Influenza D virus transmits efficiently through the air between ferrets and shows >70% seropositivity in humans in Northeast China raising concern for silent spread. 🔗 https://t.co/Wz4SspqE0K

Can Influenza influenza D jump between animals? 🐄🐖🦦 and How? Two Influenza D virus clades show distinct spread & tissue targets in ferrets & tiny HEF protein changes make the difference! 🔗 https://t.co/bxmy7115NI

🇸🇪 Sweden reports new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) in wild Mediterranean gulls. The event began Sept 26 and is ongoing. Poultry remains unaffected. 🦆 https://t.co/Lj20iHtRku

H5N1 is learning new tricks: host-switching mutations tighten its fusion machinery, edging it closer to human adaptation. 🧬🦠 #AvianInfluenza #H5N1 https://t.co/YXClaYROv8

H5N1 rewires chicken immunity 🧬🐔 Researchers pinpoint 10 key genes behind the antiviral fight. #H5N1 #AvianFlu #Science https://t.co/LWF5kaRC3i

New hope against H5N1: UniFluVec’s single intranasal dose gave ferrets full protection and healthy lungs. 🧬💪 #Influenza #VaccinesWork https://t.co/SPbFjgMk4L

A species of lungfish found in South America has claimed the title of the animal with the biggest genome sequenced so far. Learn more on #WorldAnimalDay: https://t.co/yXmctCX6PA @NewsfromScience

👻 "Dark Forest Within" 🧠 What if the brain is a creepy forest? Our neurons are the 🌲, old (as old as we are!), and without mobility. Suddenly, comes the microglia, our brain's immune cells. Everything lights up when they move around. 🟢microglia🟣neurons #FluorescenceFriday 🎃

“We are the most intellectual species to walk the planet, but we’re not intelligent. If you’re intelligent you don’t destroy your only home.” Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of @JaneGoodallInst, spoke at the 2025 #ForbesSustainabilityLeaders Summit. https://t.co/gynegGzm0Z
