Pathoplexus is a new, open-source database dedicated to the efficient sharing of human viral pathogen genomic data, fostering global collaboration and public health response.

8/ 🦠 7 Marbug sequences from Ethiopia, were shared via Wolday Lab, McMaster University, Canada.
Dr Maysa Niazy (McMaster):

"Making these data available allows researchers worldwide to build on this work and strengthen preparedness for future outbreaks."

7/ 🌍 On the 1st yellow fever seqs from Gambia, Dr Idrissa Dieng (Institut Pasteur, Dakar):

"Africa's genomic map still has too many blind spots. Uploading to Pathoplexus isn't just about depositing data - it's about lighting a fire under African viral genomics, 1 seq at a time."

6/ 🧬 On sharing measles seqs during Bangladesh's outbreak, Dr. Omar Nasif (IEDCR, Dhaka) said:

"The almost immediate release of sequences helps us share findings in real-time with the global scientific community - a significant advancement during public health emergencies."

5/ 📊 More data highlights:

- 510 new RSV-A & 460 new RSV-B sequences (Canada, Australia, USA, Spain, Brazil & more)
- 429 new measles sequences (Canada, Bangladesh, South Africa, Senegal, Tanzania)

4/ 📊 Data growth: Pathoplexus has over 5,700 new uploads since March!

- 3,296 new dengue sequences 🦟 (Brazil, Bangladesh, Angola & more)
- 576 new mpox sequences (Uganda, Portugal, Pakistan, Norway & more)
- 467 new HMPV sequences (Spain, Brazil)

3/ 🦠 New pathogen: Ebola Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) was added on 19 May in response to the concurrent outbreak in the DRC & Uganda. Teams in both countries shared the 1st genomes through Pathoplexus within days of outbreak confirmation.
