Our lab is attending the UK-ICN (uk-icn.co.uk) AGM this week - look out for out talks! Developing nanobodies as pan-SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics by Luke Jones, today (22/7) at 14:00 High prevalence of sarbecovirus in a single bat roost in Gloucestershire, UK by Dung Nguyen - thursday 24/7 at 9:45
📣 Publication alert 📣 A new review in Exploration of Medicine by Oliver Meek, Kimberly Fornace & Miles Carroll addresses the long-term persistence of Ebola virus (EBOV) in survivors and its implications for transmission and outbreak control. Thread with key findings below 🧵:
📣 Publication alert 📣 A new study in Journal of Virology by Nguyen et al. reveals that amphotericin B (AmB), a widely used antifungal, enhances SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro. This has major implications for treating fungal co-infections in COVID-19. Summary thread below 🧵: @psioxford.bsky.social
📢 Interesting paper alert (short thread): A phylogenetic analysis of bat sarbecoviruses reveals the closest known ancestors of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 were circulating in horseshoe bats less than a decade before their emergence in humans. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The recency and geographical origins of the bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2
The emergence of SARS-CoV in 2002 and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 led to increased sampling of sarbecoviruses circulating in horseshoe bats. Employing phylogen…

📣 Publication alert 📣 A novel study in npj Vaccines by Caolann Brady defines immune correlates of protection (CoPs) against SARS-CoV-2 using systems immunology and machine learning tool (SIMON) in 90 macaques across 4 vaccine platforms. Thread with key findings below 🧵 @psioxford.bsky.social
Excited to share some of my research work on #Nipah virus at the #Microbio25 conference. Presenting in the poster session at 13:45-14:45 at position B009 in the Virus forum. @carroll-lab.bsky.social @psioxford.bsky.social
This week the Carroll lab are attending the @microbiologysociety.org Annual conference in Liverpool. Postdocs and PhD students from the lab will be presenting our work on viral threats including SARS-CoV-2, Mpox and Nipah virus. See below for all the presenters from Carroll lab! #Microbio25
Measles vaccines have saved ~94 million lives worldwide🌍💫 This Vaccine Engagement Day, it is more important than ever to #CelebrateVaccines to tackle the rise in preventable infectious diseases 🚀 🔗 Read our response to rising measles cases: bit.ly/3FofSKf
📣 Publication alert 📣 A recent study in Microbiology Spectrum from our laboratory reports the development of a lateral flow device (LFD) capable of detecting mpox and other orthopoxviruses at the point of care. A thread summarising the key findings below 🧵:
📣 Publication alert 📣 A new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social from our laboratory (@psioxford.bsky.social) and collaborators highlights the critical role of the complement system in enhancing SARS-CoV-2 neutralisation following vaccination. A thread summarising the key takeaways below🧵:
