Great to collaborate with @chantalvogels.bsky.social, Afeez Sodeinde and their team on this comprehensive work looking at dengue virus & Wolbachia interactions, making the case for considering DENV genetic diversity when implementing Wolbachia-based control interventions - key findings below! 🦠🦟

📢New preprint on the impact of dengue virus genetic diversity on inhibition by Wolbachia 🦟🦠🧬

Project led by Afeez Sodeinde, @emiliefinch.bsky.social, and @keli5734.bsky.social! ✨

Key findings in thread below 👇

Heterogeneity in inhibition of genetically diverse dengue virus strains by Wolbachia
The release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transinfected with the virus-inhibiting Wolbachia bacterium has the potential to reduce the burden caused by dengue virus (DENV). However, the robustness of thi...

No one best way to measure #infection risk in populations.

Cross-sectional sero: weak temporal signal, CXR, waning as we know. Extra care needed for longitudinal #serology as Ab kinetics and assay noise can mess up estimates by a lot. Cases can be powerful!

A great opportunity to work with an incredible team! You may even get to label some cryotubes (as pictured below)
