Common viral infections, e.g. EBV, flu, herpes viruses, may cause many chronic illnesses:
MS [1][5]
CFS/ME [3][4]
Alzheimer's [1]
Parkinson's [1][5]
Cancer [2]
Diabetes [2][5]
Schizophrenia [2]
Arthritis [4]
Autoimmunity [5]
Myocarditis [6]

Maybe it's not just a cold.

PubMed Central (PMC)Infections among individuals with multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s diseaseA link between neurodegenerative diseases and infections has been previously reported. However, it is not clear to what extent such link is caused by confounding factors or to what extent it is intimately connected with the underlying conditions. Further, ...

A #NewStudy has identified gaps in the testing & treatment of #hepatitisC among #FirstNations #communities in #Ontario - highlighting where to direct efforts to eliminate the #ViralInfection that can cause serious #liver damage.
The study, published in the #CMAJ on Tuesday, provides clarity about the extent to which First Nations communities in the province are affected by hepatitis C & informs further steps that are needed to address high rates of infection.

Big week scientifically !
Happy to share the latest paper from my stay in the Vardi lab, a great collab wt co-author Matti Gralka. nature.com/articles/s41467-023
In 2018 we conducted a big #mesocosm experiment to explore the impact of #viralinfection in #phytoplankton blooms, on marine #microbial #ecosystems. Using a month-long #time course across 7 huge bags, we manage to disentangle how viruses can potentially affect #microbial succession and flow of #carbon in the #ocean. Small microbes, big impact!

NatureViral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms - Nature CommunicationsAlgal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production that play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling. Here, the authors show how bloom termination by viral infection can shift the balance between eukaryotic and prokaryotic recyclers of phytoplankton biomass.

Finally taking the time for an #introduction on #mastodon !

I'm a #marine #microbiologist currently leading a #lab at the #EMBL #Heidelberg. My lab is fascinated by the #diversity & #impact of #microbial #interactions across #biological scales, with a particular focus on #eukaryotic #phytoplankton. We think about #symbiosis #epibiosis #viralinfection #singlecell #ecology, often wt #TaraOceans folks⛵

I push for #inclusive #science, and to rethink our #practices in light of #sustainability 🌊

#Introduction Hi all I am Elisa Fadda, I use HPC to rebuild the structure of the invisible complex carbohydrates or #glycans in biomolecules (doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa.2022.10) and to understand their *many* functions in #viralinfection, #hostpathogen interactions, and in biological processes where sugars rule. I am a huge supporter of #openscience and long-time affiliate of #bioRxiv. I like cats and in particular @MULibraryCat 👍 😊 Here promoting #glycotime and happy to rebuild a wonderful community 👋
