We at the @MaesPiet lab recently also reported the discovery of shrew-borne henipaviruses in West Africa and Europe, indicating a potential for zoonotic outbreaks of similar viruses in other parts of the world. See academic.oup.com/ve/article/…
Tuesday at @KU_Leuven with @AOUBIO we sequenced a total of 24 monkeypox samples on a single flowcell using the new (NextGen)PCR tiling approach! @MaesPiet @tonywawinab

The full-length sequence of a second case of #monkeypox detected in Belgium on 19/05/2022 is available on @virological_org. Sequenced with @nanopore. @tonywawinab @MinIONBert

Today 2 suspected B.1.1.529 (Nu variant) samples were analyzed. Samples were flagged as suspicious because of an S gene dropout qPCR. 1 sample was confirmed to be the new Nu variant. This patient was not vaccinated and developed mild symptoms 11 days after returning from Egypt.

The discovery of #Lopma_virus and #Praja_virus, two new members of the family Arteriviridae found in African rodents, sheds new light on the evolutionary origin of rodent-borne #arteriviruses.

Happy to present our latest exploratory study of the virosphere of Belgian ticks. We found a great diversity of viruses carried by these ticks. Several if these are possible pathogenic for humans. academic.oup.com/ve/advance-…

We released 141 new Belgian SARS2-CoV strains today on #GISAID sequenced with @nanopore using @NetworkArtic protocol. Proud of my @kuleuven zidu team! @tonywawinab @J_MartiCarreras @MinIONBert – at Dilbeek, België
Belgian seqs are sampled both recently & a month ago (left). They fall across the tree but primarily with other Europe sequences. (Thx to @KU_Leuven)
The new NY seqs (right) mostly fall with other USA sequences, though two are further away on the tree. (Thx to @nyulangone)

@MinIONBert poster on discovery of a novel paramyxovirus in Belgian hedgehogs. Really interesting.

Monday we sequenced the #nCoV2019 genome of the first Belgium case with @nanopore MinION. Suspected sample received @ 9 pm, confirmed and full genome out @ 5 am. From suspected sample to result in 8 hours. All thanks to our great team @KU_Leuven, and protocols of @NetworkArtic

Second edition of #VirusDiscovery #ncbicodeathon from #NCBI! #VirusIndexing organized by the amazing @DCGenomics! I couldn't miss the opportunity to get there so I turn myself into a cyborg! #viasq won the prize for integration of #cyborgs! Missed the crew!

Very interesting experiment and a promising international research engagement in which @MinIONBert , @BakkerWD and myself have been involved in the last months! Can't wait for the second round with @DCGenomics et al ! @RametteA kindly assisted us during pre-submission! :)

Our PhD student @jvmembrebe got his visa denied (twice!) to attend #SMBE2019 in the UK... if you want to discover some of Jade's work, you can have a look at his paper in MBE academic.oup.com/mbe/advance… and i'm sure you can contact him for more details and discuss, right @jvmembrebe?
