What is Nipah virus? Key things to know about the disease amid cases in India Highly contagious virus, which spreads from animals to humans, has a high fatality rate and there is no vaccine

www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

The recent Nipah virus outbreak is a stark reminder of how quickly zoonotic viruses can emerge & spread.

VIGILANT is tackling this threat head-on by developing medical compounds that target host cell pathways hijacked by Nipah and related viruses. ...

Der Nachweis von Polioviren im Abwasser verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit von Impfungen, aber auch von viruziden Händedesinfektionsmitteln auf Basis von Ethanol.

Jetzt will die EU Ethanol auch bei äußerer Anwendung als karzinogen einstufen!

„Gain of Function“ (GoF) insbesondere diese Woche angesichts eines (noch?) geheimen BND-Dossier in aller Munde.

Let me just point here that transGENIC mice are not the same as tranGENDER mice.
Transgenic mice are those where we introduce a gene into one of their chromosomes to study mechanisms of disease and find cures.
Transgender mice, as described by D. Trump in his recent congress speech, do not exist.🧪

Thank you @gesvirologie.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to present our data on the preclinical efficacy of an MVA-based vaccine approach against Marburg virus.
Proud to be part of this great collaboration with the Volz lab, TiHo Hannover.
