🗓 Pathoplexus turns ONE! 🎂🎉 In the past year we’ve grown from 4 pathogens to a truly global, community-driven platform for transparent, equitable & impactful pathogen sequence sharing. 📰 Read the full update: pathoplexus.org/news/2025-08... 1/10

A Year of Milestones 🌍 Together with our community we have: • Added mpox (Dec 2024) + RSV & HMPV (May 2025) • Received direct uploads from 5 continents - incl. more mpox in 2025 than other databases • Rolled out major software updates & new analysis integrations 2/10

And… 🏆 We received the 2024 Swiss National Open Research Data Prize for our commitment to openness & community governance – all while being powered largely by volunteer effort! 4/10

🎉 New in August: Measles virus joins Pathoplexus! Following strong community support, we added MeV data submission (with Open & Restricted-Use options, as always) and powerful search & data access for MeV pathoplexus.org/measles/search 5/10

Why now? • Measles cases have surged in the US in 2025 - real-time genomic tracking is vital • Global travel + declining vaccination rates raise outbreak risk • More labs are sequencing MeV than ever before- enabling insights into spread & evolution 6/10
