Breaking my Twitter silence to share a great PhD opportunity I'm co-supervising at @UofGSBOHVM. Funded project on rewilding, ticks & zoonotic disease risk across Scotland 🇬🇧 and the Italian Alps 🇮🇹 Full details on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/lucane…
🦠 Bird Flu Update: New research highlights evolving risks of bird flu, including potential impacts on pets and the virus's ability to mutate. Stay informed and take the necessary precautions to protect your furry friends. 🐱🚨 Read more with the link in our bio!
🎉PhDone!!*🎉 This week marks the end of 4 fab years at @UofGlasgow ! Feel very fortunate to have worked with so many excellent people in @UofGSBOHVM and @CVRinfo Papers on marine mammal viruses and modelling of host tropism incoming! 🐋 🦠 🦭 🧬 *apart from corrections 🙃
Come do a PhD with me using LLMs and comparative methods to understand the emergence of companion animal viruses! 🧠☠️🕸️🐕🐈🖥️ Fully funded 3.5 year PhD based at @UofGSBOHVM @CVRinfo supervised by myself, Margaret Hosie, and Willie Weir findaphd.com/phds/project/c…
Our paper is out🦇🦠
Are you thinking of starting work on influenza for the first time because of... reasons? Or does your lab train people to work on flu? With Maria Amorim and Yohei Yamauchi, we've written a chapter specifically on getting up to speed on flu ... (1/2) link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…
We're recruiting a lab technican to carry out virus pseudotype assays, PCRs and epigenetic ageing of bats to support a #wellcome funded project on bat rabies. Apply by 12 Feb! jobs.gla.ac.uk/job/research-t… @CVRinfo @UofGSBOHVM @BatsGoViral
Mortality of Elephant Seals, pengiuns, and albatross in the Kerguelen and Crozet archipelago confirmed as HPAI. This constitutes a substantial range expansion for the virus. Looking forward to seeing the genome sequences. 👉scar.org/library-data/a…
Really enjoyed the first day of the Influenza Update Meeting at @UofGlasgow! So nice to be introduced to the flu community - kind and helpful people! Very grateful for the opportunity to share my work! Special thanks to @CVRHutchinson
Really looking forward to catching up with the influenza research community, from academia and industry across the UK and beyond, at next week's #InfluenzaUpdateMeeting, which this year we're hosting here @UofGlasgow. Can't wait!
One thing I love about my fieldwork is that I got to meet generous people who helped us collect hair of their animals so I have a better idea of what the🦇 feed on. I’ll be back in touch with them once I analyse the samples! Ofc this couldn’t be done without my brilliant team!
🚨 We have outlined some recommendations around selecting diagnostic assays for HPAI in the Antarctic setting as this will influence interpretation of results, as exemplified by our concerns around whether HPAI was present in apparently health penguins. 👉preprints.org/manuscript/202…
Given all the interest in dairy cattle, I've added relevant documents, reports, updates, papers (new and old) to my HPAI resource page 👉michellewille.com/avian-influenz…
🦇 New publication explores self-spreading vaccines to protect wildlife from deadly pathogens such as rabies. @Megan3Griffiths explains the complex interdisciplinary work behind this innovative technology. Article: gla.ac.uk/research/az/cv… Paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Cattle are, of course, the central reservoir for influenza D viruses (a different virus species). Lots of scope for interesting work still to be done on influenza viruses in cattle. 👉doi.org/10.1016/j.covi… (5/5)
I’m still accepting applications for this PhD on bat virus dynamics in Neotropical bats until end of April. Please RT!

While the biggest impact has been on pinnipeds, and dairy cattle are all the rage currently, this graph really demonstrates the diversity of mammals which have been infected with HPAI to date. Detailed data in the @EFSA_EU quarterly reports.

This is the 2nd study reporting prospecting (i.e. visiting other colonies) in Northern gannets from colonies affected by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Breeding gannets are not known to prospect. They usually only move between their nest and the sea where they feed...
We extended our barber ‘service’ to the farm animals! Analysing stable isotopes in bat hair, we need references from their prey species. Thanks to the brilliant field team🥷we collected hair from 🐄🐴🐑🐖-the usual vampire bat menu.
Back to the field! Opened a barbershop for the bats 💈a question popped up from my last field trip - does diet (🦭vs 🐖) affect vampire bat stress level? We need a good amount of hair for both stable isotopes and cortisol analyses - a dog paw trimmer turned out to be very useful!
