Hi everyone 🖖

If you are thinkging about using #nanopore for genomic surveillance in #hospitals, but don't have the #bioinformatics nor command-line skills, don't let that put you off.

'Modernising Medical Microbiology', at @NDMOxford in #Oxford, has developed `OxBreaker': a graphical tool that can help identify budding #outbreaks by #healthcare professionals without having to upload your data to external servers and compromise patient privacy. Worth a read 👇

#BrownUniversity’s #Pandemic Center studies #pandemics, and the #US resurgence of #measles is a grim sign of what’s coming
Low levels of #vaccination across the country mean measles #outbreaks will continue to occur, needlessly hospitalizing and killing the unvaccinated. But beyond these harms, the disease’s resurgence serves as a serious warning about the country’s capacity to manage #infectiousdisease threats of all kinds.

Viral #Outbreaks Take a Common Path from Animals to People, Study Finds How #Pandemics Are Made
Scientists compared seven viral outbreaks that occurred in recent decades, including epidemics of Covid, Ebola and influenza. The outbreaks were not preceded by any unusual genetic changes in the viruses. In all but one case, in 1977, the viruses circulated in animals and gained the ability to spread to and among people only by unfortunate coincidence.

#TrumpRegime helping bring back #measles.

This year, nearly 2,000 reported cases of measles spread across 47 #outbreaks, while three people have died so far. It’s the largest case count seen since the #viraldisease was locally #eliminated in the U.S. a quarter century ago.

Novel #Genotypes of #HPAI #H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b Viruses, #Germany, November 2023, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/8/24-0103_article

Several #subtypes & many different genotypes of HPAI viruses of subtype #H5 clade 2.3.4.4b have repeatedly caused #outbreaks in Germany. 4 new HPAI genotypes emerged in Nov 2023 after #reassortment with low pathogenicity precursors, replacing genotype BB, which had dominated in Europe since 2022.

South African clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses had comparatively fewer #markers of #virulence and #pathogenicity compared to European strains, a possible reason why no #spillover to #mammals has occurred here yet.

These #birds #travel across #continents & countries via many #international #migratory routes, in much the same way that airlines move across the world on designated routes. Three major #WildBird #MigratoryRoutes from #Asia & #Europe #transverse Nigeria. That’s good news for #biodiversity - #badnews for #disease control. #MigratoryBirds from Europe move into #Nigeria every year during the cold #harmattan season. This is the #PeakTime for #AvianFlu #outbreaks .

We did also look at #scabies #outbreaks in #carehomes for the elderly in the UK. There’s plenty of that particular NTD in higher-income settings, and outbreaks are often poorly diagnosed and hard to control in institutional settings.
https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(18)30347-5

Would never have thought that a paper about #scabies #outbreaks in UK #carehomes would end up with over 100 citations (and at the moment is my most cited paper)

And with scabies now being a Neglected Tropical Disease, good to see a bit of momentum building about addressing this #NTD as a global #publichealth problem
