  1. #PSA From someone who's been through it: you do NOT want to get dengue; if you visit Florida, take precautions (see first link). Beware: the dengue vaccine isn't available in the U.S., only if you are traveling abroad. No, it doesn't make sense, especially because, as the world warms, we'll see more Aedes mosquitos in the mainland.

  7. Dengue and Chikungunya: Why is Cuba Facing a Mosquito Virus Crisis?

    [A video about #Cuba, hosted on #PeerTube.wtf, from the #news / #video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    One-third of Cubans have contracted #mosquito-borne diseases this year, according to the Cuban Ministry of #PublicHealth: #dengue, #oropouche and #chikungunya. With over 42,000 cases reported across the country since July 2025, chikungunya was declared an epidemic in early November. 44 deaths from dengue and chikungunya have been reported, 29 of them children. The #health system is struggling against an outbreak that has spread due to a lack of resources.

    “This arbovirus wave is not happening in a vacuum. It arrives at a moment of severe economic strangulation," says Dr. Samira Addrey... #US sanctions cause billions of dollars in losses annually, depriving the health sector of fuel for ambulances and fumigation, reagents for diagnostics, and raw materials for #medicine.

  8. The Danger of ‘Invisible’ #Biolabs Across the U.S.

    Opinion by Dan Greene, August 31, 2023

    "Recently, many #California residents were disturbed to learn that a small, privately-operated bio lab in the #CentralValley town of #Reedley was shut down by Fresno County Department of Public Health officials after they found that it had been improperly managing almost 1,000 laboratory mice and samples of infectious diseases including #COVID19, #rubella, #malaria, #dengue, #chlamydia, #hepatitis, and #HIV. The lab was registered to a company called #PrestigeBiotech that sold a variety of medical testing kits, including for pregnancy and COVID-19, and it was likely storing disease samples for the purpose of developing and validating its testing kits. Government authorities are still investigating the company’s history, but it appears to have previously operated a lab in Fresno under the name Universal MediTech, where city officials flagged it for investigation regarding improperly stored chemicals.

    "From what is publicly known, the Reedley lab should likely have followed proper biosafety practices to minimize the risks of an #outbreak, and it apparently failed to do so. It could have caused illness, disruption, or even death among local communities and beyond depending on the circumstances of an outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC) maintains a system of four 'Biosafety Level' standards that are used worldwide for work with dangerous pathogens. Based on the pathogens that were being used at the Reedley lab, it probably should have followed Biosafety Level 3, which involves controlling the airflow inside the lab as well as a host of other practices, equipment, and facility design requirements.

    "Yet, astonishingly, the U.S. government seems to not have even known that the Reedley lab existed until it was discovered by chance by Jesalyn Harper, an observant local city code enforcement officer—the only such officer working full-time in the entire city. Once discovered, the Fresno County and California Departments of Public Health found it to be in violation of local and state codes, including those for registering clinical labs and managing medical waste. Based on our reading of available information, it was likely also in violation of federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations for protecting workers from bloodborne pathogens. But these codes require proactive reporting, and the lab simply never reported any issues to regulators. In slightly different circumstances, it would likely have continued to operate unnoticed for a long time."
