🦟How do bunyaviruses spread via mosquitoes? A new study shows the NSm protein is key. NSm helps the virus move cell-to-cell in the mosquito midgut, a crucial step for transmission. Without it, infection fails. Find out more: gla.ac.uk/research/az/... Read the paper: nature.com/articles/s41...

Our study on pasteurising influenza viruses in milk is now out! It's a nice simple story: influenza viruses (including H5N1) are killed really effectively by pasteurisation, but in raw milk they stay infectious - obvious public health implications of both points... (1/2) rdcu.be/d73te
