Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease

"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

Researchers evaluated two experimental Zika virus vaccines to understand the roles of antibodies and T cells, discovering that long-term viral protection requires a coordinated immune response from both components rather than relying on T cells alone.

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.

New Hemorrhagic Fever Emerges in the Democratic Republic of Congo #DRC, 50 die within 48 hours - An unknown illness first discovered in three children who ate a bat has rapidly killed more than 50 people in northwestern Congo over the past five weeks, health experts say. The interval between the onset of symptoms – which include fever, vomiting and internal bleeding – and death has been 48 hours in most cases and “that’s what’s really worrying,” said Serge Ngalebato, medical director of Bikoro Hospital, a regional monitoring center. These “hemorrhagic fever” symptoms are commonly linked to known deadly viruses, such as Ebola, dengue, Marburg and yellow fever, but researchers have ruled these out based on tests of more than a dozen samples collected so far. #pandemic #Africa #HemorrhagicFever #PublicHealth #epidemiology #virus

Presented at Royal Sussex County Hospital on my (Brighton and Sussex Medical School) work with forest communities in #papuanewguinea co-planning & introducing health services into indigenous-led conservation collaborations: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-020-00805-x. The tool-kit we developed for combined clinical and rapid anthropological assessments with parallel treatment of urgent cases is available free for wider use ( https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/10/10/e041784) & I am always happy to chat with people who may find the methodologies we developed helpful in their own work.

Whelp, I've been here long enough, I should probs post an intro, yeah? Here goes:

Current Peds ID fellow @UNMC/CHMC in Omaha.
Completed adult ID fellowship @UNMC.
Current LEAP fellow @IDSA/SHEA/PIDS.

Working through MPH (#epidemiology nerd in-training)

Primary focus is biopreparedness for and epi/outbreak investigation of emerging and high-consequence pathogens.
Helping bridge the gap between clinical ID and public health.
