Happy to share the final version of our article on the identification and characterization of novel bat coronaviruses, published in PLOS Pathogens @plos.org🦇🎉 Congrats to Claudia, first author of this paper, and all co-authors! 👏 dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
Identification and characterization of novel bat coronaviruses in Spain
Author summary Bats carry many different viruses, some of which can infect humans. Among these, bat coronaviruses are of particular concern. To be better prepared for future pandemics, it is important...

Thrilled to have been awarded a Ramon y Cajal 5-year tenure-track contract to continue working on viral entry (and more!) with @rafa-sanjuan.bsky.social at @i2sysbio.es and @uv.es 😀🎉
BREAKING🔔 The 50th🎉 paper from G2P-Japan🇯🇵 is out at Lancet Infectious Diseases @TheLancetInfDis. We elucidated the virological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 LP.8.1. Please repost🔥 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Virological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 LP.8.1 variant
After the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 (BA.2.86.1.1) variant,1 several descendant lineages of JN.1, including KP.2 (JN.1.11.1.2),2 KP.3 (JN.1.11.1.3),2 and KP.3.1.1 (JN.1.11.1.3.1.1),3 have eme...

🚨 New preprint alert 🚨 We searched for the presence of coronaviruses in >200 bat individuals across Spain 🦠🦇. We recovered 6 complete coronavirus genomes, including 3 novel species. One of them could use bat and human ACE2 for entry. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Identification and characterization of novel bat coronaviruses in Spain
The zoonotic transmission of bat coronaviruses poses a threat to human health. However, the diversity of bat-borne coronaviruses remains poorly characterized in many geographical areas. Here, we recov...
