Forecasts of viral variation could improve vaccine and antiviral treatments ahead of time.

In early 2024, an unprecedented outbreak of H5N1 high pathogenicity avian influenza was detected in dairy cattle in the USA. The epidemic remains uncontrolled, with spillbacks into poultry, wild birds...

This project is focused on deciphering the role of virally encoded AAA+ ATPases in the replication cycles of Enteroviruses and Noroviruses.

Both population-level genomic variation in mosquitoes and climate contribute to the lack of ZIKV outbreaks in Africa. Given the importance of mosquito genetics in driving this pattern, local genomic surveillance of mosquito populations would help predict outbreaks in vulnerable communities. This will become increasingly important with population growth, urbanisation, and climate change.

H5N1 avian influenza virus (lineage 2.3.4.4b, B3.13 genotype) has caused, unexpectedly, a large outbreak in dairy cattle in North America. It is critical to ascertain how this virus has specifically a...
