You can read our latest work on #JEV here nature.com/articles/s44298-0… This work sets us up for more detailed studies into mechanisms of infection and disease, and for development of new interventions. @QIMRB_Institute
Researchers at QIMR Berghofer are pushing for a new vaccine to fight a deadly strain of Japanese encephalitis. A recent study found a more effective way to target the virus which claimed seven lives in 2022. 7NEWS.com.au @RebekahRJensen #7NEWS

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) has again been found in NSW 🚨 After the unprecedented outbreak in the summer of 2022, then seemingly going quiet for the summer of 2023 (while the closely related Murray Valley Encephalitis virus burst back onto the scene), JEV is back in AUS 🦟
Mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus has been detected in NSW for the first time this season. If you’re in regions of high risk (or in an occupation with high risk of exposure), get vaccinated. See advice from @NSWHealth in latest advisory health.nsw.gov.au/news/Pages… 🦟

Dengue is becoming a serious global problem. Microclimate is favouring dengue vectors to expand their population even in cooler places of the world. What could be a promising vector control strategy? 🤔 Wolbachia?

Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.

Sad! How are we prepared for combating MVEV? A hypothetical question- does IMOJEV (JEV vaccine) provide a basal cross-protective immunity against MVEV?
