Je suis très heureux d'avoir eu l'occasion de présenter ma thèse « en 180 secondes » lors des Journées francophones de virologie la semaine dernière à Toulouse ! Merci à la @sfvirologie.bsky.social d'avoir décerné à ma thèse le prix SFV dans la catégorie « Autres virus » 🦠🪰✌️

Not all bacteria are beneficial in every context. We found that enriching Drosophila with a commensal bacterium reduces tolerance to viral infection. The effect was virus-specific and occurred without changes in viral load, immune gene expression or intestinal damage. rdcu.be/eZ4Sd

In flies and worms, more pathogenic viruses caused greater aging acceleration, and the effect lingered even after clearance, new study reveals. #Aging #Infection #MicroSky #Virology 📖 shorturl.at/OeYVp ✍️ @rubengonzalez.bsky.social @castellosanjuan.bsky.social @salehlabparis.bsky.social @pasteur.fr

Ha passat un any. Temps insuficient per a un dol tan gran. Hui és dia de fer memòria pels que ja no estan i de cuidar a totes les víctimes. Però cal recordar que s'ha de continuar lluitant, perquè encara no s'han atés les nostres demandes: VERITAT. JUSTÍCIA. REPARACIÓ.

I'm so excited to share this with all of you! This is the very first paper where I am the first author 🥹 Let me share some insights about our work 👇🧵(1/5): How do persistent viral infections impact the host? What happens when a fly becomes persistently infected by a virus?

Persistent viral #infections in #insects are not as harmless as once believed. @salehlabparis.bsky.social &co show how such infections in #FruitFlies alter survival, reproduction, behavior & gene expression, revealing the hidden costs of #viral persistence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4olpuXm
