@advancedvirology.bsky.socialReporter viruses (GFP, NanoLuc®) enable high-throughput antiviral screening, but risk instability.
3 best practices:
1️⃣ Smaller reporters (NanoLuc) maintain stability
2️⃣ Cleavable fusions minimize attenuation
3️⃣ Sequence-verify to catch adaptation

@virusesmdpi.bsky.social🦠 Host Cell-Virus Interaction, 4th Edition in Viruses
13 papers on how viruses hijack host machinery — organoids, circRNAs, HIV, SARS-CoV-2, rabies, HPV & γ-herpesviruses.
We invite you to read and share this collection.
@virusesmdpi.bsky.social🐱 Why is one FPV variant taking over in China?
This Viruses study tracked 41 feline panleukopenia virus strains (2019–2024) and found the VP2-91S substitution rose from 15.6% to 100% in Chinese strains.
@schiracha.bsky.socialCellulo-centric claims in #virology can be so frustrating. Y'all are haters and too anthropomorphizing.
Instead of:
"Cell uses #chromatin to surround and dampen #virus assembly.."
Could just as easily be:
"Virus uses chromatin for masking and temporally controlled assembly"
(IMUO way better)

@samillingworth.com🐒 In monkeys, how COVID gets in beats dose
Pooling 107 experiments on 721 monkeys and other primates shows the entry route shapes infection more than dose, age, sex, or species. Route also decides which tissues get infected.
