As #mosquito ranges expand, better monitoring is key to preventing #disease
Monitoring is expensive and labor intensive. But it helps #publichealth officials stop #outbreaks.
In Connecticut statewide mosquito monitoring program has 54 different species, including invasives like Asian tiger mosquito, which can transmit diseases including dengue and Zika. Mosquito’s historical territory is in hot and humid climates farther south, but moving north.

" #USDA Sect Brooke Rollins confirmed a second New World Screwworm detection... She posted the announcement...

Then she deleted it.

...This is the same regime that’s been removing the detection experts & surveillance infrastructure that were specifically designed to catch #outbreaks like this one before they spread. Now... instead of transparency, we get a post and a quiet delete."

#USA, #Idaho Public Health officials are investigating two #outbreaks likely associated with raw #milk, https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/news/idaho-public-health-officials-are-investigating-two-outbreaks-likely-associated-raw-milk

Since May 19, 2026, nearly 60 people have been identified who became ill after consuming raw milk. At least 45 of those people tested positive for #campylobacteriosis, a bacterial infection, although not everyone who is sick was tested. Investigation and interviews of people reported as ill are ongoing and additional illness may be identified.

Why the #Ebola and #Hantavirus #Outbreaks Have Confounded Scientists
The types of Ebola and hantavirus worrying officials are very different from the species identified decades ago, raising new questions about how to respond.
There is vast diversity of #viruses, but we employ limited vocabulary to talk about them. It would be just as confusing to treat blue whales like fruit bats and Siberian tigers, simply on the grounds that they’re all mammals.

#Trump admin shutting key #US researchers out of #global #virus response talks, documents & sources reveal

Key officials responsible for leading US #research on #InfectiousDisease threats have been #barred from speaking directly with the #WorldHealthOrganization [#WHO] — effectively shutting some of them out of the global discussions on virus #outbreaks, according to documents & multiple sources.

…For more than a year, large #measles #outbreaks have popped up all over the #US, in places including #Texas & #SouthCarolina. But unlike those outbreaks & many of others over the last 2 decades—which have often had ties to insular religious communities, like Mennonite, Amish & ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups—the virus appears to be spreading through the broader population in #Utah.

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 👇

A Model For HHS: New Mexico Measles Outbreak Was Curtailed With Mass Vaccination Campaign

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/20/a-model-for-hhs-new-mexico-measles-outbreak-was-curtailed-with-mass-vaccination-campaign/

#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.
