#epidemiology — Public Fediverse posts

Researchers have developed a new method combining multiple mathematical models into an "ensemble forecast" to predict hospital admissions during pandemics more reliably.

A recent study compared traditional diagnostic methods with a new PCR-based test to identify gastrointestinal parasites, specifically focusing on the zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus, in wild canids, hunting dogs, and pet dogs.

The Powassan virus (Orthoflavivirus powassanense) is a highly pathogenic, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus endemic to North America that causes severe, rapidly progressing neuroinvasive disease and encephalitis in human hosts.

Cochliomyia hominivorax (the New World screwworm) is an obligate parasitic blowfly whose larvae require living tissue from a warm-blooded host to complete their developmental cycle, resulting in a severe, rapidly destructive condition known as myiasis.

Ebola (Orthoebolavirus zairense) is a highly sophisticated filovirus that relies on complex molecular evasion, the exploitation of immune-privileged sanctuaries, and the induction of societal disruption to ensure its survival and propagation, challenging its traditional, simplified classification as merely an agent of acute hemorrhagic fever.

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.

#Zoonotic #infections by avian #influenza virus: changing global #epidemiology, #investigation, and #control, Lancet Infect Dis.: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(24)00234-2/abstract

Avian influenza virus continues to pose zoonotic, #epizootic, and #pandemic #threats worldwide, as exemplified by the 2020–23 epizootics of re-emerging #H5 #genotype avian influenza viruses among #birds and #mammals and the fatal jump to humans of emerging A(#H3N8) in early 2023.

Applications are rolling in! The Yale Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases is looking for two new tenure track faculty. Yale EMD is a great place to work with wonderful colleagues and students. Please spread the word.

I guess I should do an #introduction...

Hi #hachyderm, I'm a Millennial #infosec lady-type person in the Midwest. My current professional interests include: #edr, #honeypots, #securityawareness, #logging, #siem & etc.

I also have a biology background and have an interest in #genetics, #immunology, & #Epidemiology. Due to my genetic condition I'm also interested in #migraines, #Channelopathies, & #respiration.

Other stuff:
#cats #WoW #ffxiv #Pokemon #anime (particularly #magicalgirls genre)
👋

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.
