We are starting to see higher total cumulative annual mentions for entire organisations on Bluesky than on Twitter.
Below are mentions of all research ever published by @leibniz-zmt.de. Bluesky is higher than Twitter in 2025.

I am looking for phages infecting Streptococcus pneumoniae to test a phenotype - does anyone have some and willing to share ?
Repost appreciated :)
Alguém faz ideia do que seja esse inseto? Encontrado no ES/BR. @elfadosinsetos.bsky.social @insetosdobrasil.bsky.social
Is there a spreadsheet with a list of grant organizations? I remember seeing one in the Twitter days but cannot find it. 🌎🌏🌍🗺️
E se preparem para semana que vem, hein!

9/🔍 Our findings demonstrate the importance of integrated approaches — combining genomic, epidemiological, and ecological data — to address emerging arboviruses.
8/⚠️ This study highlights OROV's potential to expand beyond the Amazon, driven by environmental change, human mobility, and vector adaptability.
Strengthening surveillance is essential to mitigate future risks.
7/ 🌱🍫☕️🌶 Spatial analysis showed strong correlations between OROV incidence and agriculture.
Municipalities with extensive cocoa, coffee, and pepper cultivation were particularly affected — likely due to vector breeding habitats.
6/🌡️ Patients with fever, headache, and myalgia had significantly higher viral loads, indicated by lower Ct values in RT-qPCR assays.
This may suggest an association between viral replication and symptom severity.
5/🧍♂️🧍♀️ Most cases were adult males, likely reflecting occupational exposure in rural areas.
Common symptoms: fever (91%), headache (81%), muscle pain (68%), and retro-orbital pain (33%).
4/ 📈 The outbreak showed rapid transmission: the time-varying reproduction number (Rt) peaked at ~3.0, similar to urban arboviruses, like Dengue and Zika.
3/🔬We tested over 29,000 samples from patients with suspected arbovirus infections.
Molecular analyses identified OROV in 17 municipalities. Sequencing confirmed strains from the Amazonian reassortant lineage.
2/🌳🌾 Espírito Santo, historically free from OROV, became a hotspot due to favorable environmental and agricultural conditions.
Most cases occurred in areas with intensive cocoa, robusta coffee, coconut, and pepper farming, ideal for Culicoides paraensis.
🧵1/🧪🦟🦠 Our research group, in collaboration with partners, reports the emergence of Oropouche virus (OROV) in Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil.
In 2024, we confirmed 339 OROV cases between March and June — the first major outbreak in the Atlantic Forest biome.

We thank all co-authors and partner institutions involved in this multidisciplinary effort. In special to public health authorities, @ufesoficial.bsky.social, @oficialfiocruz.bsky.social, @lagev-ufes.bsky.social. This study was funded by Ministerio da Saúde, Governo do Espírito Santo e FAPES.
This study underscores how metabolic conditions (e.g., obesity, hepatic steatosis) and dysregulated immune responses may exacerbate OROV infection. Our findings call for enhanced surveillance, rapid diagnostics, and deeper research on viral evolution and host vulnerability.
Whole-genome sequencing identified a novel M1L2S2 reassortant Oropouche strain with mutations in the L segment. Viral antigens were abundant in the liver, lungs, and kidneys, correlating with intense tissue damage.
We report a case of fulminant multiorgan failure caused by Oropouche virus. High viremia, coagulation dysfunction, and acute respiratory and renal failure developed rapidly. Histology revealed severe hepatic steatosis, lung edema, and kidney necrosis.
