🦟🦠Mosquitoes as a transmission route for Mycobacterium ulcerans - read the new study by @tstinear @PeterMeeSci @Jane_R_Oliver @georgetaiaroa @micro_deb @CSIRO @stace_lynch @KatherineGibney @PEARG_Lab @TheDohertyInst @BioSci_UniMelb @tstinear.bsky.social nature.com/articles/s4156…
Our new paper is now published in @PLOSBiology! We describe an elusive male-killing Wolbachia strain and its rapid suppression Featuring @PEARG_Lab @drosobachia @GrndCtrl2_DrTom journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
Great to be attending the 1st Veterinary Confernce of Timor Leste. Looking forward to hearing updates from the pacific
We have a handful of abstract slots left, so if you have something you can put together last minute, please submit it today!
Do you know what a bee Varroa mite looks like? Varroa mites are reddish-brown, 1mm in diameter, oval-shaped and flat. Discover more here: beeaware.org.au/archive-pest/v…
MicroSeq2022 attendees have the chance to win some fun (and useful!) swag this year! - Notepads - Keyring torches - Pens with touch screen stylus and lights! - Stickers
📢 Don't miss out! Abstract submission for MicroSeq 2022 closes TOMORROW! Keep an eye on our twitter or the website MicroSeqConference.com for updates!
Abstract submission for @Microseq_ASM 2022 closes soon! MicroSeq provides a venue for HDR students and ECRs to present their research on microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungi), given there is a sequencing component! For updates go to MicroSeqConference.com
📢 Registration for MicroSeq2022 opens next month! Get your abstracts ready because the first 50 will get free registration thanks to @AUSSOCMIC Keep an eye on our twitter or the website MicroSeqConference.com for updates!
A portable molecular lab developed by AgVic was opened today in Timor-Leste. Supported by AgVic researchers and @dfat it will help quickly diagnose and detect animal diseases, providing an early warning of threats to Australian agriculture. @of_leste #biosecurity
First Minion run for the Timor Leste 🇹🇱 veterinary laboratory. Sequencing ASFV. Great work guys. Thanks to my Minion Guru @BioElogy for showing me the way and sequencing support from @mozztacular @stace_lynch @VicGovAg @nanopore
Great to see the new Timor Leste molecular lab is nearly fully operational, with the first qPCR runs happening today. Also great to meet up with other micro colleagues working here. @VicGovAg @DrHannaSidjabat
Settling into Timor life. Great to see the new molecular biology module at the national veterinary lab is nearly ready for use. @VicGovAg
Heading off to Timor Leste again 🇹🇱, armed with a MIC qPCR machine, a Minion and a box load of reagents. #AgVic
📢 Save the date! MicroSeq will be back in 2022, running 7-8 September! Keep an eye on our twitter or the website MicroSeqConference.com for updates!
Our new preprint just dropped! We tracked bacterial transmission of Klebsiella strains and plasmids in Grey-headed flying fox colonies across Australia using genomics. @JuddLmj @DrMichellePower @yekwah @sylvainbrisse @DrKatHolt @KelWyres biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/5)
Almost time for the start of #MicroSeq2021- Get those snacks and drinks ☕ 🥯 🥪 🍵prepped for an awesome afternoon of microbes and sequencing! 🧬 🧫 🦠 @Microseq_ASM @AUSSOCMIC
Quantitative PCR assay for the detection of #Aedes vigilax in #mosquito trap collections containing large numbers of morphologically similar species and phylogenetic analysis of specimens collected in Victoria, Australia dlvr.it/S6WHr4 @bugbittentweets
The student subcommittee would like to invite ALL conference attendees of the #ArboMoz21 to join our networking event this afternoon! Just follow the link to @gather_town provided on the main conference portal! We would love to network with all of you and see you in person-ish☺️
