Origin and evolution of West Nile virus lineage 1 in Italy | Epidemiology & Infection | Cambridge Core Origin and evolution of West Nile virus lineage 1 in Italy - Volume 152

Here's our new paper on the circulation of West Nile virus lineage 1 in Italy, one of Europe's most WNV-affected countries. We definitely need stronger Europe-Africa surveillance! #WNV #PublicHealth

Two days ago I defended my PhD dissertation: 'Viral Metagenomics and Phylogenomics for One Health'. Immensely grateful to my supportive colleagues and to my exceptional supervisors (Nicola Segata and Omar Rota-Stabelli) for their guidance throughout this journey!

Check out our latest preprint for all phage enthusiasts!

We present a novel virus discovery approach that leverages viral enrichment, enabling us to obtain a set of over 162,000 viral sequences. 🧬
