  3. When I was living in Sri Lanka during Covid, I remember people didn't want to eat fish, because Indians often put dead bodies into rivers, which end up in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka and into the bellies of fish.

  4. In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

  5. @fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!

    In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.

    This communication examines biology, epidemiology, & clinical features of #OROV, summarizes the 2023–24 epidemic, & describes reported cases of vertical transmission & #congenital infection, fetal death, and #microcephaly in pregnant women with Oropouche fever,...

  8. Recent Changes in #Patterns of #Mammal #Infection with Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza A(#H5N1) Virus Worldwide, Emerg Infect Dis.: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/3

    -- Some studies, especially in current #panzootic, suggest that mammal-to-mammal transmission might be responsible for some infections; some #mutations found could help this pathogen replicate in mammals. H5N1 virus may be changing & adapting to infect mammals. Continuous surveillance is essential to mitigate risk for a global #pandemic.

  11. #Virus control

    This exciting new research explores the influence of #virus #infection in changing the balance of organic matter degradation between #bacteria and #eukaryotes in #marine #carboncycling during #phytoplankton blooms.

    Based on #mesocosm studies, this research demonstrates how #viruses infecting different #microorganisms change community dynamics and the release and potential fate of marine carbon from primary production.
