  1. 🔴 [communiqué de presse] EPI-PHARE publie un rapport qui apporte de nouvelles données sur le risque de saignements menstruels abondants après la #vaccination contre le #COVID19.

    💡 Cette étude réalisée à partir du #SNDS a porté sur l'ensemble des femmes de 15 à 50 ans en France ayant eu un diagnostic de saignements menstruels abondants à l’hôpital (hospitalisation de jour ou avec hébergement de nuit) entre le 12 mai 2021 et le 31 août 2022. #EpiVerse #SNDS

  2. I love these interdisciplinary One Health projects that span topical and methodological expertise. My main contribution to this work was the development of a multinomial GAMM to jointly model the circulation dynamics and epidemiology of the three viral groups.

    Code and data here, all wrapped up in an #rstats {targets} pipeline: github.com/ecohealthalliance/s

  3. New paper published from our Southern Africa Bat Research Network project: In a cave in Limpopo Province, South Africa, longitudinal sampling has revealed three new lineages of coronaviruses, with distinct seasonal dynamics.

    This work is led by Marike Geldenhuys at the University of Pretoria Markotter Lab, with a team including myself and @epsteinjon at EcoHealth Alliance.

  7. CW: Warning: Covid may cause death

    Mean age - about 66

    CVD risk remained high for 18 months; other risks reverted faster towards pre-infection levels

    Historical control cohort excluded potential effect of over-loaded health system

    Nice study design all round.  #Biobank is to #epidemiology as #palomar was to #astonomy

  8. Out from the EHA team + longstanding USAID PREDICT + IDRC collaborators: Prevalence of bat viruses associated with land-use change in Brazil

    "We found that deforested sites had a less diverse bat community than forested sites, but higher viral prevalence and richness...In particular, viruses from the Coronaviridae family were detected more frequently in generalist species compared to specialist species."

  11. CW: Very cool and gross blackfly laravae newly disovered to carry river blindness parasites

    Check out these Simuliidae larvae hanging out on a stream rock. Turns out they are previously unknown hosts of Onchocerca volvulus, which causes river blindness, and maintain it in the Ituri Highlands of DR Congo.

    Story, photos and (wriggly) video at the post below, tremendous science in the paper above! 👆

  14. Interested in selection mechanisms/bias and their representation as DAGs (directed acyclic graphs)?

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

  15. A quick #Introduction

    I’m Keeley Allen and I’m a #fieldepidemiology trainee in Australia through the #MAE program. I love communicable disease #epidemiology and #surveillance, and particularly interested in #STI and #BBV conditions and #arboviruses. I’m interested in all things #PublicHealth and #SpatialScience and #maps.

    Keen to be part of the #EpiVerse!

  16. ✨ Hello #EpiVerse and friends! ✨

    I'm Jen, a psychiatric epidemiologist and public mental health researcher, currently working at UCL.

    I am interested in the social and spatial determinants of mental illnesses. Much of my research has focused on migrants, refugees, and other historically marginalised populations.
