  4. #Parvovirus B19 remains an underestimated #pathogen among #infections during #gestation in #Argentina: insights through the study of symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant patients and newborns from CΓ³rdoba

    Source: Journal of Clinical Virology, AbstractBackgroundParvovirus B19 (B19V) infection during pregnancy can cause adverse fetal outcomes. Our aim was to characterize both clinical and asymptomatic maternal and neonatal cases by studying virological and serological…

  5. β€œIs vaccine-induced immunity better than immunity from infection?

    Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it’s safer. When you get infected with COVID, symptoms from the infection wreak havoc on your body. Whether or not you’ve been infected or vaccinated previously, the COVID booster is going to strengthen your immune responses to high levels and do so in a safe way.

    Can I still get COVID if I’m vaccinated?

    People who are vaccinated can still get COVID, but it is much more likely they will experience mild symptoms. Vaccinated people are much less likely to experience severe illness or get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Data continue to show that those who are hospitalized with COVID are largely people who have not received a COVID vaccine within the past 12 months.

    Particularly for people at higher risk of severe COVID, vaccination is an essential tool for reducing COVID complications, hospitalization, and death.

    Can you get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?

    Yes! In fact, studies have shown that people who decide to spread out their vaccines into separate appointments often don’t follow through with getting both. We’ve also seen that the immune response generated by each vaccine does not change based on whether they are administered at the same time or separately.

    It’s important to remember that many of the same populations at high risk of experiencing severe illness from COVID are also at high risk of severe influenza. Especially for these vulnerable populations, it’s a good idea to time your vaccines together.”

    #Seagrass #genomes reveal ancient #polyploidy and adaptations to the marine environment nature.com/articles/s41477-023

    "Seagrasses evolved from their #freshwater ancestors only 3x. To do this required specialized ecological tolerance to high #salinity, lower light, a wide range of temperature tolerances, #underwater carbon capture, different #pathogen defense, structural flexibility and underwater #pollination"

  8. "Here, we show that #Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterial #pathogen associated with itchy skin diseases, directly activates pruriceptor sensory #neurons to drive itch. Epicutaneous S. aureus exposure causes robust itch and scratch-induced damage. By testing multiple isogenic bacterial mutants for virulence factors, we identify the S. aureus serine #protease V8 as a critical mediator in evoking spontaneous #itch and #alloknesis."

  15. "Our findings underscore the importance of cell death in defense against intracellular bacterial pathogens and provide an example of how layered and hierarchical immune pathways can provide robust defense against pathogens that have evolved a broad arsenal of virulence factors."

  16. A bit slow on writing an #introduction ... I work on #host-pathogen #evolution and #ecology with a focus on #pathogen #HostShifts and how and why #species vary in their #susceptibility to pathogens. We typically use ~50 #species of #Drosophila and their #viruses to ask these questions but are expanding our work into other tractable systems (more soon!) to address these questions.
