We had an amazing time at #ViBioM2026 last week in Vilnius 🇱🇹🤝
Researchers from around the world shared insights on virus #metagenomics, #phylogeny, protein & RNA biology, and #ML approaches.
Huge thanks to all organizers, helpers, and our sponsors (GoVilnius, Viruses/MDPI, @febsopenbio.bsky.social)!

The gut microbiome of the honey bee is relatively simple, but its phages are not well studied. Here, Basler et al. use metagenomics to provide a comprehensive catalogue of honey bee gut phages across eight European countries, describing novel taxa as well as a core set of 97 prevalent phages.
Vaccination is a highly efficient strategy in controlling infections. Aluminum-containing adjuvants have long been used to enhance immunogenicity, but quantification of adsorbed antigens remains analytically challenging. This study uses Raman spectroscopy, a powerful, nondestructive technique, augme...

Trials are beginning on several drugs that have shown promise in preliminary studies against the virus that is causing the current outbreak.
