Can we tackle antimicrobial resistance or predict future pandemics?
The first panel of our #OneHealth conference will focus on innovation in surveillance and diagnostics, health systems and more!

Thank you @prelights.bsky.social for this interesting discussion! Our preprint is indeed out 🎉, and we are so happy to talk about it! @paveltomancak.bsky.social @lepuslapis.bsky.social
Heads up folks! From last night's Office Hours --a Microbetv special: A review of the hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius, as of 6 May 2026, incl. what we know so far, background on hantaviruses in general, and analysis of the previous Andes virus outbreak. Share widely! Repost! Tell a friend!
Not all bacteria are beneficial in every context.
We found that enriching Drosophila with a commensal bacterium reduces tolerance to viral infection. The effect was virus-specific and occurred without changes in viral load, immune gene expression or intestinal damage.

So great to finally have this out!!
Kicking off 2026 the best way we know how: together! 🥐👑
Our annual Galette des Rois brought the team together, and Mori Yoshida claimed the crown for the 4th year running! 🎉
But the real treasure? These moments that unite us before another year of discovery.
Here's to an incredible 2026! 🔬✨

With some delay, I’m happy to share our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... ! In this work, we aimed to better understand the role of the microbiota in mosquito larval development and nutrition.
Mosquito larvae rely on a living microbiota for normal development because the microbiota supplies essential nutrients, particularly vitamins. Beyond vitamin provision, transcriptomic data suggest tha...
