Er #hantavirus den næste covid-pandemi? Nej, siger Søren Riis Paludan fra @civia-aarhus.bsky.social - for den smitter ikke særligt effektivt mellem mennesker. Man skal groft sagt røre ved hinanden eller røre ved noget, der er kontamineret, før virus bliver overført👇 health.au.dk/display/arti...
EXPLAINER: Hvor farlig er hantavirus?
Et alvorligt, men afgrænset udbrud af hantavirus på krydstogtskibet MV Hondius har kostet flere mennesker livet. Professor Søren Riis Paludan forklarer smittefaren og risikoen.

🎉 Congratulations to Giorgia Marino who successfully defended her #PhD thesis entitled "In vivo characterization of immunopathways in response to HSV-1 infection" last Friday at the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University. Congratulazioni Giorgia, ben fatto! 👩🎓
We found a viral Trojan Horse: a virus can hide inside another virus.This one surprised us: deltaviruses don’t just borrow a helper virus. They can travel inside it. A literal Trojan Horse “virus-in-a-virus” route into cells. 🤯 Kudos to 1st author @viroscope.bsky.social and co-authors !

Despite decades of intensive research, current approaches to treating #NeurodegenerativeDiseases only slow down the seemingly inevitable. Could recent data associating #vaccines with reduced risk of #dementia offer an unexpected beacon of hope?🧪 @sparrerlab.bsky.social
Could targeting viruses be a new hope against neurodegenerative diseases?
Current therapies for neurodegenerative diseases largely manage symptoms and only modestly slow progression. This Perspective highlights emerging evidence that vaccines and antivirals may lower…
