Rapid glycoprotein evolution enables variant interactions in herpes simplex virus type 1

Abstract. Glycoproteins cover the surface of enveloped viruses such as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Whilst essential for cellular attachment and entry,

Gonna present some exciting work on mutation rates, population bottlenecks and defective genomes. Come and see me later today for my flash talk and poster presentation at #IHW25 in #Berlin.

I‘ll present my poster on „Rapid glycoprotein evolution enables variant interactions in Herpes Simplex Virus type 1“ on Thursday 17th of July at #ASV2025 in #Montreal. If you are looking for me though, due to severe weather I‘ll only arrive tomorrow 😬. See you guys tomorrow!

I made a starter pack for researchers who study various aspects of viral sociality. It's woefully incomplete and has lots of room to grow, so do message me if I've missed you! go.bsky.app/3PfgjkP #SocialViruses 🦠 🧪

In response to the emergence of H5N1 influenza A viruses as a novel pathogen of cattle, a study in Nature Communications shows that pasteurisation of cows’ milk should effectively inactivate the virus, but that it remains infectious in unpasteurised milk. go.nature.com/3WRQ8fb 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows pasteurisation effectively inactivates influenza viruses in milk.
