This CROCmas we reached out to colleagues from all over the world to get kids involved to share their Christmas love over crocodiles! Check out these great drawings from Year 5 Indigo from Bounty Boulevarde State School in North Lakes, Queensland, Australia!

Excited to share our latest pre-print describing the beautiful work of PhD student @mikaelagbell on the insect-specific alphavirus, Yada Yada virus. Mikaela successfully brought the virus to ā€œlifeā€ for the first time using RNA fragments from mosquitoes. researchsquare.com/article/r…

A stunning image of a RAT-like test for flaviviruses, currently being developed at @UQ_SCMB, featured on the cover of @LabonaChip. Taken by Ryan Johnston at our @CMMUQ1 facility, it won the Art in Science award at @MicroTas2024 in 2023!

As proof-of-concept, diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in Australian saltwater crocodiles was shown #onlyinaustralia. However, we believe that this assay will work equally well for other crocodilian species.

Happy to share our latest preprint, entitled "Application of chimeric antigens to paper-based diagnostics for detection of West Nile virus infections of Crocodylus porosus – a novel animal test case". biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… More great stuff coming from the Peters' Lab!

We predict that this technology could easily be applied for diagnostic screening of crocodillians world wide!

This is the first application of the Binjari virus chimeric system to lateral flow diagnostics. And what a cool species to demonstrate on! Only in Australia...

#WorldMosquitoDay. @JodyPeters20 lab is tackling mosquito-borne viral diseases using chimeric technology based on the benign Binjari virus. This provides the platform for the next generation of mosquito-borne flavivirus diagnostics, therapies & vaccines. tinyurl.com/4cm7vxb4
