A large US-Australian study on COVID-19 has uncovered a genetic explanation as to why some people test positive but remain asymptomatic.
Prof Stephanie Gras, who led the Australian contingent, it opens the way for better vaccines and treatments 💉 fal.cn/3A9Y8

New publication from the Nematode and Vector Genomics lab @SABE_latrobe !
Researchers in DRC, South Sudan, US, Australia, & Belgium sequenced >800 mitochondrial genomes to assess genetic diversity on the path to elimination of River blindness.

Super happy to share my first first-authored publication. ☺ It is about geostatistical modeling that could be useful in planning the elimination of river blindness in Ethiopia, in this case, a neglected tropical disease in Africa.

Parasites do regulate immune systems of their human host. Does it have any implications with low COVID mortality in LMICs? An interesting hypothesis.. youtu.be/lVSqSPv61_k #parasites #COVID19 #NTDs

Nematodes are the most abundant animals on earth... they account for 4/5 land animals! The highest abundances are found in tundra which is the opposite of above-ground animals. Soil biota are so important and we need to know more...
