Welcome to the last day of #AVS12 Kicking off our Virus evolution session is our invited speaker Erin Harvey @erinharvey.bsky.social discussing the Macro-scale evolution of mammalian viruses. Aussie Marsupials are one of the basal lineages within mammals and are an interesting group for discovery.

A concerning report from Hawaii, where H5N1 infected birds and wastewater were identified this week. Says "The virus detected here matches the strain that has infected dairy cows and domestic poultry on the U.S. mainland." If its B3.13, then sequence is critical health.hawaii.gov/news/newsroo...
