I am very glad to share the result of a great collaboration with Yevel Flores-Garcia and Fidel Zavala. Endlessly grateful to Rogerio Amino and everyone involved in the project. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Relevance of the antibody Fc fragment and epitope valency in protection against malaria sporozoites - EMBO Reports

Protection against infection by Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites is mediated in part by antibodies that recognize the repeated (NPNA)3 epitopes of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP). To evaluate the ...

Viral interferon antagonism shapes host tropism

Outbreaks of zoonotic viruses in human populations highlight the need to understand the molecular factors that influence viral host tropism and interspecies transmission. A virus’s host range is deter...

Curious about how antibodies can target Plasmodium sporozoites? Very happy to see this review out, it means a lot to me to finish my PhD research topic with a nice overview of what is known about how anti-CSP Abs neutralize the parasite in the mammalian host.

🦟 Today is #worldmosquitoday! It's a good opportunity to show what it takes to rear Anopheles mosquitos for our #malaria research. First, let's look at how many mosquitos are bred in the Levashina Lab each year. Check out the following posts to learn what it takes to keep them happy! (1/4) 👇

🧬 Excited to share our latest work, MUSET 🌭, a new tool for creating abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data. It was published yesterday in Oxford Bioinformatics if you want to have a look👀 : academic.oup.com/bioinformati... Let's break it down:

MUSET: Set of utilities for constructing abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data

AbstractSummary. MUSET is a novel set of utilities designed to efficiently construct abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data. Unitig matrices extend
