Very happy to announce that our paper describing mutational signature dynamics in SARS-CoV-2 is out @PLOSCompBiol! Using the huge number of available sequences, we uncover a shifting landscape of mutational signatures operating throughout the pandemic!

Spatial modelling with Rita Ribeiro and @JMatthiopoulos found that most vampire bat roosts in the rabies endemic Peruvian Andes remain undiscovered. This may explain the limited ability of bat population control to reduce spillover doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.17… @CVRinfo @UofG_SBOHVM

In our quest for new vampire 🦇roosts, we travelled 300km to another department called Ica; with some intensive asking-around at different government institutions, 4 days later, we finally found a new vampire bat roost, next to the sea with many pinnipeds around🤩🌊🦭THANK U team – at Ica, Peru

We are recruiting a post-doc (or talented PhD student) who is excited about combining computational tools and field data from food animal systems to address practical questions about the interplay between virus evolution, immunity, and epidemiology. #virus #fmd #prrs #livestock

The @BatsGoViral team study transmission of #rabies virus in wild vampire bats to inform interventions – but how do they do this?
The team are working with the Glasgow Science Centre (@gsc1) to develop an interactive exhibit to take visitors behind the scenes of bat research.
ALT Large white board which displays various different concepts for the bat exhibition and images.
ALT Five members of the Bats Go Viral team stood in front of the large board displaying the exhibition concepts. One member is dressed in blue field work clothes and is holding a pipette, another team member is dressed in high-containment lab work clothes and another in a bat costume.
