Check out our latest paper on mirusviruses, one of the most remarkable new groups of protist viruses - extremely diverse, carry lots of spliceosomal introns (including new homing introns) and are at the evolutionary crossroads between tailed phages and herpesviruses! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Widespread and intron-rich mirusviruses are predicted to reproduce in nuclei of unicellular eukaryotes - Nature Microbiology
Environmental metagenomic explorations show that Mirusviricota lineages lack essential replication and transcription genes and contain spliceosomal introns, suggesting nuclear reproduction.

🦠 Measles is back. Cases have exploded in 2025 in France, UK, US & Europe due to falling vaccine coverage.

The MMR vaccine is ~100% effective with 2 doses. It's saved 94M lives since 1974.

Measles isn't just for kids – 34% of US cases were adults over 20.

#Measles
Three questions about measles: why is it on the rise, is the vaccine effective, and can you catch it at any age?
A few years ago, measles seemed to be on the verge of being eradicated in many countries. The recent rise in cases raises several questions. Why is measles making a comeback? Is the measles, mumps and...

137 years ago today 🎂 Institut Pasteur opened in Paris (Nov 14, 1888 🏛️)

Funded by 100K+ donors after the rabies vaccine success, it launched a scientific legacy:
🔬 10 Nobel Prizes
🌍 32 Pasteur Network Institutes
💉 Countless lives saved

From rabies to COVID-19, the mission continues.
