Avoiding areas thought to be disease hotspots may actually make outbreaks worse if local case reporting is incomplete. New research involving #WorldPop scientists reveals how travel behaviour can distort health data and hide disease risks, especially in rural areas. Better local reporting could save lives.

Airborne particulate matter from North African deserts is reaching Europe in increasing concentrations, creating a rising source of air pollution that counteracts the continent's recent decline in anthropogenic emissions.

Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

Do managers want:

Only ONE person this week out sick?
Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.

McMaster University: Study examines what Reddit reveals about measles’ return . “Rachel Zhou, a professor in the Department of Health, Aging and Society, studied thousands of Reddit conversations to understand how people made sense of the measles’ resurgence in 2025. The posts reveal more than opinions about vaccines, she says. They show how people remember – and forget – disease, how […]

Zoonotic spillover is the successful transmission of a pathogenic entity—such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite—from a non-human animal reservoir into a human population. This rare but consequential event occurs when a pathogen successfully crosses the strict biological boundary between species.

🦠 #RNA Viruses in Ticks that Feed on Farm Animals 🐮

In addition to the above studies ☝️, another one looked at the #virome of ticks that feed on livestock in Uganda.

• Analyzed 2,754 ticks from 31 farms.
• Used semi-agnostic sequencing to detect all known #virus families.
• Found 22 viruses from 9 families, of which 5 were novel!
• Orthonairoviruses were notable, including Crimean-Congo Fever virus & a novel one.

🦠 RNA Viruses in Ticks — Ticks that Feed on Bats! 🦇

In addition to the above studies ☝️, a new study looked at the #RNA #virome of ticks— specifically ticks that feed on bats in Sweden.

• Found 16 viruses from 11 #virus families, of which 15 were novel!
• Authors suggest that such surveillance might help identify potential zoonoses.

APPARENTLY THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE CLEAR:

If you only support randomised controlled trials, then you only support research suitable for experimental study.

That excludes studying structural & social determinants, like racism & poverty.

This is socially regressive. Simple.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this article from Louisa Smith entitled "Selection Mechanisms and Their Consequences: Understanding and Addressing Selection Bias"

#introduction toot!

Hi, I am molecular biologist/asst prof at the Institute of #GeneticEpidemiology in Innsbruck, Austria. Working on #genomics of #lipoproteinA, a #cardiovascular risk factor that is regulated by a long, polymorphic #cnv and #SNPs hidden there. Using standard #molecularbiology, #ngs, #nanopore, #epidemiology and a bit of #bioinformatics. Always curious also about any other cvd epi things and interesting sequencing puzzles in the spare time.

Time for an #introduction! My name is Damiano and I’m #newhere. I’m a #sociologist and #family #demographer working on #ageingResearch. My research interests include #gender and #socialinequalities in #health in later life, #intergenerationalRelationships, social determinants of health (#SDoH), #welfareSystems, and #quantitativeMethods for #socialResearch. I’m looking forward to connecting with others interested in #sociology, #demography, #epidemiology, #gerontology, and other #SocialScience·s.
