#Hantavirus : pour le virologue Gustavo Palacios, « le virus de l’espèce Andes n’est pas aussi transmissible que d’autres virus respiratoires ».
Il estime que le risque de propagation est limité si des mesures simples de distanciation sont prises.

5 Clever Ways to Reuse Old #Mulch, According to #Gardening Experts
Stop throwing away old mulch.
By Michelle Mastro
Published on April 23, 2026"Everyone wants a healthy garden, and mulch is a vital tool for maintaining one. Mulch helps soil retain moisture, suppresses weed growth, and protects roots from temperature fluctuations. But what should you do when the mulch in your garden loses its luster? Should you leave it in your garden, repurpose it, or discard it?
"While there are instances when old mulch should be tossed, often it can be refreshed or used in other ways. The biggest consideration is whether the mulch was exposed to #pathogens. For example, if your tomatoes were heavily affected by late blight, gray mold, or similar infections, the spores can remain viable in mulch for over three years, and should be discarded.
"If your mulch is old but healthy, there are ways to repurpose it. Ahead, gardening experts share clever ways to reuse old mulch to enrich garden beds and protect plants."

#AI Bots Told #Scientists How to Make #BiologicalWeapons
Scientists shared transcripts with The Times in which chatbots described how to assemble deadly #pathogens. Worse, #chatbot described in vivid detail how to release #superbug, identifying security lapse in public transit, Dr. Relman said, withholding name of pathogen and specifics for fear of inspiring an attack. Bot outlined a plan to maximize casualties and minimize chances of being caught.

Is antibacterial or regular hand soap best for killing germs?
Cleaning up our disinfectants: usage of antimicrobial biocides in direct-to-consumer products in Australia Open Access
"In supermarkets and chemists worldwide, consumers are faced with an array of antimicrobial domestic cleaning and personal hygiene products purporting to kill germs and keep people safe. Many of these proven active ingredients (biocides) encourage the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microbes and microbial populations, in turn increasing the likelihood of AMR infections. In order to understand and address the selective pressure towards AMR posed by the unrestricted use of biocides, it is necessary to understand which biocides are most frequently found in consumer products and the current regulatory framework that governs their use. In this research we survey the biocidal active ingredients in the major categories of cleaning and personal care products available from supermarkets and pharmacies in Australia, and comment on the regulations that dictate how these products are tested and marketed. Benzalkonium chloride and ethanol were the two most prevalent antimicrobial biocides in this study, while triclosan, which is banned in several jurisdictions, was found in a small number of products. In Australia, many antimicrobial consumer products are regulated for efficacy and safety under the Therapeutic Goods Act, but the potential to drive microbial adaptation and AMR is not considered. Overall this survey underscores the broad use and light regulation of antimicrobial biocides in products available to the general public in Australia, and provides an information resource to inform further research and stewardship efforts." >>

Is antibacterial or regular hand soap best for killing germs?
Washing hands after using the toilet or patting a dog before a meal is crucial to remove feces-borne bacteria and germs. After COVID the message got through to most people. When one is in town looking for a public amenity or a cafe toilet, it is rare to find hot water, hand soap and a clean (paper) towel. But there is always a toilet spray in 1001 fragrance varieties.
In the absence of the ingredients for basic hand hygiene there is always a free plastic bottle of hand sanitizer since the last pandemic. Staff at grocers, bakers and cafes copiously cover their hands in the "antibacterial" and "antiseptic" products. Every product or packaging absorbs the persistent fragrance of the bought items and travels back into the home. The cost-effective chemical 'solution' does not substitute for hot water, soap and a towel.
"Professor Griffin says products claiming to kill bacteria are "not necessarily substantiated as being any better than just usual soap and water would be...These additives can be harsh and lead to dryness and cracked skin, which can create a pathway for germs to enter the body."
'Regular hand soap is very effective in removing potentially harmful pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites), according to our experts. So, using that water, soap and that pneumatic action to get all of the dirt and grime from your hands and then rinsing is going to be more than adequate to keep you healthy."
"Our experts say there have also been studies suggesting that the use of soaps with antimicrobial additives can contribute to antibiotic resistance, which is problematic." >>

#Drumpf era #CDC has stopped monitoring for several factors it once tracked for foodborne illness outbreaks. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is ordered to only monitori for two pathogens instead of the previous eight.
Currently only two #pathogens: #salmonella and #Shiga toxin-producing E. coli are being tracked federally, now ignored are #campylobacter, #cyclospora, #listeria, #shigella, #vibrio and #Yersinia.

#Animal #diseases leapt to #humans when we started keeping #livestock
When #huntergatherers began living close to animals, the #pathogens that cause the #plague and #leprosy got closer too.
The #genomic study identified 5,486 #DNA sequences from #bacteria, #viruses and #parasites in blood remnants from bones and teeth spanning 37,000 years. #Zoonotic pathogens were detected only in remains 6,500 years old or younger.

Ancient DNA reveals farming led to more human diseases
"Humans' close cohabitation with domesticated animals—and large-scale migrations of pastoralists from the Pontic Steppe—played a decisive role in the spread of these diseases...We've long suspected that the transition to farming and animal husbandry opened the door to a new era of disease—now DNA shows us that it happened at least 6,500 years ago. These infections didn't just cause illness—they may have contributed to population collapse, migration, and genetic adaptation."
