How can mosquitoes tolerate viral infections?
In our latest preprint we show that mosquitoes that can regulate their metabolism after infection can tolerate viral infections better.

Metabolic homeostasis favors tolerance to persistent viral infection in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
The mosquito Aedes aegypti harbors a wide range of persistent viral infections, including both medically important arboviruses and insect-specific viruses (ISVs). However, the mechanisms underpinning ...

Success in academia often has more to do with luck, patronage and the job market than “hard work”.
Good academics acknowledge this.
I worked hard, but I was in the right place at the right time on occasion. Historians far more talented than I have fallen between the cracks.

It is impressive to see the lack of accountability but this is a common thing in many parts of the world sadly, not only in the Mack Planck.
For future students and post-docs, inform yourself well before joining a lab, attitudes like this should not be supported
