Had a great time in Luxembourg at the first Network meeting of the EURLs for Public Health! Huge thanks to @ecdc.europa.eu for making it possible for our EURL-PH on #diphtheria and #pertussis to meet in person and to connect with fellow EURLs! Looking forward to the next meeting! @pasteur.fr

Significant respiratory virus activity in the EU/EEA, with #influenza & #RSV epidemics ongoing.
Vaccination campaigns against respiratory pathogens continue in many EU/EEA countries, and people who are eligible for vaccination are encouraged to get vaccinated.

Back in Argentina after the #KlebsiellaSymposium at @pasteur.fr. Grateful to the organizers @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social and @chcrestani.bsky.social for the opportunity to present my work on #Klebsiella in #Wastewater and to connect with brilliant researchers. Inspired and honored!

BIGSdb v1.49.1 has been released. This version improves the layout of user registration and admin pages, and provides the option to export LIN code prefixes of specified length in the Export plugin. BIGSdb powers the databases on pubmlst.org and bigsdb.pasteur.fr.

Microscopic photograph of the RSV virus.
Coming up next week - another part of our #GenEpiBioTrain online trainings!
This time we will focus on #RSV with the help of #InstitutePasteur.
The aim is to provide participants with in-depth knowledge of RSV, its genomic diversity, evolution, available treatments, & emerging vaccine strategies.
Thanks @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social for involving me in KlebNET-GSP as project manager 3y ago, it was a very enriching experience! Thanks to all the attendees of #KLEBS2024 for making this a great success, it was our best reward! And thanks to the @gatesfoundation.bsky.social for making it possible!
