First genomes of #covid19 in #Spain deposited in @Gisaid soon to be included in @NextStrain. Sequenced by Sequencing and Bioinformatics Service @GVAFisabio and @EpiMolG @UV_EG. This will help confirm the way #coronavirus has spread in our country (1/4)
We are hiring a PhD candidate! Only for non-EU graduates. To work on the molecular and genomic epidemiology of Treponema pallidum, based on our recent publication (doi:10.1128/mbio.00358-26). Interested? Send your CV and expression of interest to [email protected] by 5/20

A new encyclopedic review, for plasmid lovers:

We (Mapi, Eduardo and I) hope you like it!
Good papers, like good wine, need maturing. I'm proud and thrilled to share our work on genomic epidemiology of K.pneumoniae in Valencia and differential transmission patterns of resistances, part of @nerisgg PhD thesis and the NLSAR consortium. go.uv.es/td8iL4c

Imagine resistance genes as stickers, and plasmids as the sticker albums where they're collected and swapped. 🤔🧩
Now, You should check this amazing work from Wang et al.! 👇

In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle.
They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training.
Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades.
The story of how ONE photo nearly deleted computing’s female founders: 🧵

It's beyond ridiculous that one of TWO BSL4 (highest security) labs in the USA & World Reference Centre for Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses has had funding cut by Trump & DOGE because it had a COVID component.
We are actively throwing valuable & critical science in the trash.

⚠️ BREAKING:
The CDC has issued a health advisory in response to ongoing human infections with H5N1 and high levels of seasonal flu.
"For hospitalized patients testing positive for influenza type A, faster testing to identify the influenza A virus subtype is recommended."

⚠️ BREAKING:
New Tick-Borne Virus, Xue-Cheng Virus (XCV), Detected in North-Eastern China 🇨🇳 252 People Infected.
Twenty-six people have been infected with Xue-Cheng Virus (XCV), showing symptoms from acute fever to severe conditions requiring hospitalization.
Very excited to share our recent publication with Verena Schuenemann and other excellent collaborators, including my former student Marta Pla-Diaz. We have improved the analysis of Treponema pallidum genomes with a Multiple_Reference_Based mapping. rdcu.be/d5GGx

Haríamos bien de, no solo denunciar, sino también sancionar de forma severa estas prácticas, bien por la @CanalUGR 👏🏻👏🏻
Respuestas tibias erosionan la credibilidad d la ciencia y d las universidades
@CrueUniversidad @CienciaGob @COSCEorg
¿Recuerdan este caso?
Pues la @CanalUGR parece que está haciendo las tareas para sancionarlo.

Después del adolescente de Canadá ingresado en estado crítico, ahora tenemos el primer caso grave de #GripeAviar en EEUU.
Por eso decía hace unos días que no podemos bajar la guardia porque “la mayoría de los casos han sido leves”…

De nuevo han tenido que retirar del mercado un lote de leche cruda en California tras detectar #GripeAviar #H5N1 en la granja de la que procedía.
Es la segunda vez que ocurre este mes y ha afectado a dos productores diferentes… qué peligro! 😟

Also, the USDA today confirmed Louisiana's first outbreak in a poultry flock, marking the appearance of the virus in all 50 states.

⚠️ BREAKING:
The total number of cases in the "mystery outbreak" in the Democratic Republic of Congo has increased to 527, according to the Africa CDC.
Last week, there were 147 new cases reported, suggesting that the outbreak isn't subsiding but rather extending.

🔉 COMUNICADO ESPECIAL AMETSE ⚠️
Ante la noticia que hemos conocido hoy relativa a la apertura de un proceso penal contra la presidenta de AEMET por lo sucedido en Valencia el pasado 29-O, desde la asociación meteorológica del Sureste-AMETSE queremos manifestar lo siguiente:

🌍 Exciting new insights on the Oropouche virus (OROV) expansion in Brazil! Using phylogeography, we reveal how human mobility & environmental factors drive viral spread. 🌱✈️ Forest cover, crop cultivation & population density play key roles. @houzhou
The Oropouche virus expansion in Brazil was a concerning case of arbovirus emergence outside of its endemic range, and so many questions remained!
We aimed to answer some of them by integrating landscape phylogeography and ecological niche modelling!

Muchas felicidades, Jero!
Merecedísimo premio a @Jero_RB. Alegría inmensa para los que disfrutamos tu saber y compañia. Tb para la microbiología española, comunidad de excelentes investigadores con aportaciones esenciales a la ciencia global durante décadas @SEMicrobiologia @SEIMC_ @ciberinfec @microRyC
