Until Friday, Australia was the only continent free from HPAI H5N1. Sadly, this is not the case - a 2344b confirmation in a Brown Skua, and a suspected case in a Northern Giant Petrel which turned up in WA. 👉 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06... (1/x)

🌊 How do viruses circulate in marine mammals? New research from @matt-arnold-bio.bsky.social & colleagues explores viral communities across 15 species in Scotland, identifying 120+ viruses. Younger animals carry more, and sharing between species is common. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals
Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in mar...

Wondering what happens if a seal sneezes on a whale? We were! 🦭🤧🐋 We sequenced viromes from 16 species of marine mammals stranded in Scotland. Of >100 viruses detected, ~10% appeared in multiple species (one in both seals & cetaceans!), mirroring known interspecies interactions in Scottish waters.

Excited to share my first paper! Co-circulating viruses in bats show diverse spatial movement patterns, perhaps due to different infection biology. Not all viruses move like their hosts, or like other viruses; Use them for inference with awareness and care!🧪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

This is a fascinating study! Researchers developed an incredible new approach to prevent pandemic spillovers by vaccinating BATS themselves using mosquitoes and salt traps. It comes with some risk and caveats and will need robust regulation for prime time.🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/....

Not all bat viruses spread the same way 🦇 A new study from @averyholmes.bsky.social & colleagues looked at six viruses in vampire bats in Peru & found contrasting patterns of circulation. Some reflect bat movement, others were influenced by human activity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New study reveals contrasting spread of bat viruses in Peru
Researchers have uncovered clear differences in how viruses spread within the same wildlife host, challenging assumptions about how infection moves through animal populations.

I wrote a festive little piece for @uk.theconversation.com about the invisible but beautiful world of viruses, our fight against viral diseases, and how you can explore all of this, and more, by making paper snowflakes ❄️🦠🤓❄️ #scicomm #sciart theconversation.com/the-twelve-v...

My 1st first-author paper is out as a preprint! Excited to share the fascinating story of marine-feeding vampire bats 🌊🦇 We found that marine-diet bats were exposed to #H5#AvianFlu 🦠 from marine wildlife and could potentially spread it to livestock via blood feed🩸 doi.org/10.1101/2025.11.09.686930
