  1. Interessant, dass Christian #Drosten seine Meinung zum Ursprung von #Covid19 geändert hat.

    Anfang 2020 hatte er noch gutgläubig die chinesischen Wissenschaftler:innen in Schutz genommen (hatte sich einem Statement in #TheLancet angeschlossen):
    "We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."

  3. Descriptive #epidemiology & #phylogenetic analysis of #HPAI #H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b in British Columbia (#BC) & #Yukon, #Canada, Sept 22 to Jun 23, Emerg Microbes Infect.: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

    Phylogenetic data suggests multiple #spillover events from wild #birds to #poultry and #mammals but could not rule out transmission among farms and among mammals.

  4. Multiple #transatlantic #incursions of #HPAI clade 2.3.4.4b A(#H5N5) virus into North #America and #spillover to #mammals, Cell Rep.: cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext

    #Seabirds likely enabled multiple incursions of A(H5N5) virus from #Europe to #Canada. Some A(H5N5) viruses possessed the mammalian #adaptation #marker #PB2-E627K. A(H5N5) viruses demonstrated rapid 100% #mortality and some transmission in #ferrets. A(H5N5) viruses preferred avian virus receptors and are sensitive to NA #inhibitors.

  6. Protect where bats forage
    Protect where bats roost
    Include primary pandemic prevention alongside preparedness and response.

    "While biomedical approaches are an essential part of the pandemic response toolbox, the genesis of a pandemic is rooted in ecological systems, necessitating ecological approaches for prevention."

    "To reduce the likelihood of pandemics, we must protect where animals forage and rest so that we can keep wildlife healthy, minimize allostatic load, reduce the need for animals to alter their spatial behavior, and minimize risky human-wildlife encounters."
