Happy back-to-lab season!
Before getting back to work, why not dive into an evolutionary paradox: why do some viral lineages, though more virulent, never emerge?

This is a truly wild article. About 5% of cyanobacteria fished from the ocean are connected via nanotubes. These nanotubes are made from lipid membranes.
Also, E. coli will sometimes grab onto microbes of *other* species, using these nanotubes, and share nutrients.
SARS-CoV-2, grippe aviaire, mpox, toutes ces maladies sont d'origine animale. Nos programmes de surveillance doivent clairement se renforcer et intégrer non seulement le volet humain, mais aussi le versant animal et environnemental au risque de reproduire les mêmes erreurs ...
Cinq ans après le début de la pandémie COVID, les cas récents de grippe aviaire ou de mpox nous rappellent l'importance de prendre en compte les maladies dans leur ensemble. Plus de 75% des nouvelles maladies chez l'Homme sont d'origine animale! Une seule planète, une seule santé
