When the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, many failed to realize that humanity was still reeling from the AIDS pandemic. We discuss the zoonotic origins of HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, the pathogenesis of infection, and available vaccines & therapeutics. 📺 bit.ly/4bbvN9f

Are you looking for a postdoc where you can apply machine learning tools to predict host-virus interactions from -omics data? We have great PhD students, engaged local colleagues, and a fantastic collaborator network including everyone at @viralemergence! Reach out directly 😊
And don't forget about the amazing satellite sessions including our great speakers on bat viruses including Elke Muhlberger, Eric Laing, @hannahkfrank, @FViromics, @danjbecker and @klphelps with moderation by me and @sci_questions!

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.
Check out our latest paper! A deep dive into the recombinant origins of MERS-CoV's Spike protein 🐫🦠 and overall patterns of recombination across the 🦇MERS relatives! Congratulations Jarel for leading this work!! 🎉🎉

NEW PUBLICATION ‼️ 🦠 We are delighted to share our findings on the influence of recombination on the receptor switching event of MERS-CoV and its close relatives. This paper is now out in @VirologyJ. Please see the threads ⬇️ for some explanation (1/11) virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Check out the new pre-print from @FViromics probes Merbecoviruses cell entry. Especially the HKU5 viruses use ACE2. 👏👏👏

@TSchountz @FViromics This is a very good and a detailed follow up on the report of some bat merbecos using ACE2. What if some bats use more than one receptor (ACE2) to facilitate viral entry? Also, a single author manuscript from a PI = 🤯.
@FViromics Very nice work, Michael. Still reading it but the first thing that popped into my head is that we need to get as many bat ACE2 and DPP4 sequences as we can. Your approach could rapidly generate a threat assessment list of RBD modules in bat coronaviruses.
this is awesome!! HKU5 merbecos use bat ACE2! more evidence that ACE2 usage comes and goes all over the CoV tree. maybe the ancestral receptor of the entire family? 🤔🤔

So an entire clade of MERS-related coronaviruses can use human ACE2 as a receptor, meaning they can infect human cells via the same receptor as SARS-CoV-1 & -2. They have pandemic potential. To be serious about actually preventing pandemics, we can’t prevent virology research.

And a back-and-forth between cattle and birds is very bad for a couple of reasons. For one, frequent or repeated switches between a mammalian and avian hosts gives the virus opportunity to adapt to efficiently infecting both.
@rmaviridae NIH did not boost the grant amounts that a PI receives.
There is just no good reason to think there's an epizootic of mammalian adapted H5N1 in birds.
My understanding is that these bird (and cat) viruses within the "bovine" clade were sampled from farms that had bovine H5N1. So, are the birds on these farms giving this virus to the cattle, or are the cattle giving it to the birds? It is cattle to birds very likely.
OK, I think we're close to decisive evidence that US bovine H5N1 had a single origin from birds, and that when related viruses from birds *have* been found, they are jumps from cattle back into birds. Grackles, blackbirds, chickens all show mammalian adaptation like PB2 M631L.

I am excited to share my new pre-print assessing cell entry for the entire merbecovirus subgenus! Here is the link: tinyurl.com/36nbtjmm. A quick summary of the findings: (1/4)
We know we’ve been quiet here, but we aren’t sleeping on our research! Check out our findings from the first three years of PARIS study: cell.com/immunity/pdfEx… #teamscience #PARISStudy #virusresearch #covid19
And don't forget about the amazing satellite sessions including our great speakers on bat viruses including Elke Muhlberger, Eric Laing, @hannahkfrank, @FViromics, @danjbecker and @klphelps with moderation by me and @sci_questions!
#ASV2024 official conference hotels are completely sold out, but there are still lots of hotel options (some are newly listed on ASV website) and OSU dorms remain available. Looks like the Columbus ASV meeting is gonna be one of the biggest and best ever! asv.org/asv2024/

It is really hard to see how it is not a scandal that @USDA has not shared what its own FAQs on the situation indicate are *extensive* viral sequence data on H5N1 in cattle in 8 states. aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/… statnews.com/2024/04/18/h5n…
@wanderer_jasnah This is indeed what my average tanglegram looks like 😛 This probably goes beyond βCoVs, we've just got fewer genomes for the other genera. We looked at recombination patterns across taxa and overall patterns look rather similar: academic.oup.com/ve/article/8/2…
