Expression of endogenous Anopheles gambiae microRNAs using an Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) intronic expression system - Parasites & Vectors
Background Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) is a highly species-specific parvovirus that reaches high titers in adult Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes with few transcriptomic effects and minimal signi...

🚨 We found some cool viruses in Singapore!! 🚨
Over 18 months, we screened 17,070 🦟mosquitoes across 17 locations in Singapore, uncovering 🦠viruses that could shape future biocontrol strategies against dengue and other arboviruses!

We are not shy about our favourite DNA polymerase in the @peters-virus-lab.bsky.social Special mention goes out to Q5.

My honours student-turned-friend just published a great article on virology and One Health in Singapore’s local paper. So proud of her hard work—and even happier she made it through without post-laboratory stress disorder!

Second last in the arbovirus session is our first #alphavirus talk of the session from Jennifer Hyde (University of Washington) talking about the Contribution of viral RNA structures to cellular tropism and epizootic emergence of alphaviruses #AVS12

To round out our Arbovirus session, Mikaela Bell (UQ) is giving us a primer on the ISVac platform Recombinant Alphavirus Based On The Australian Insect-Specific Yada Yada Virus. An incredible story of recovering a virus from metagenomics and then spinning it out to a vaccine platform. #AVS12
