Je suis très heureux d'avoir eu l'occasion de présenter ma thèse « en 180 secondes » lors des Journées francophones de virologie la semaine dernière à Toulouse ! Merci à la @sfvirologie.bsky.social d'avoir décerné à ma thèse le prix SFV dans la catégorie « Autres virus » 🦠🪰✌️

Not all bacteria are beneficial in every context.

We found that enriching Drosophila with a commensal bacterium reduces tolerance to viral infection. The effect was virus-specific and occurred without changes in viral load, immune gene expression or intestinal damage.

In flies and worms, more pathogenic viruses caused greater aging acceleration, and the effect lingered even after clearance, new study reveals.

Ha passat un any.

Temps insuficient per a un dol tan gran.

Hui és dia de fer memòria pels que ja no estan

i de cuidar a totes les víctimes.

Però cal recordar que s'ha de continuar lluitant,

perquè encara no s'han atés les nostres demandes:

VERITAT.

JUSTÍCIA.

REPARACIÓ.

I'm so excited to share this with all of you!
This is the very first paper where I am the first author 🥹
Let me share some insights about our work 👇🧵(1/5):

How do persistent viral infections impact the host?

What happens when a fly becomes persistently infected by a virus?

Persistent viral #infections in #insects are not as harmless as once believed. @salehlabparis.bsky.social &co show how such infections in #FruitFlies alter survival, reproduction, behavior & gene expression, revealing the hidden costs of #viral persistence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4olpuXm
