  1. New publication: Phylodynamic analyses reveal persistence and extensive intermixing of #Usutuvirus in the Netherlands. #phylodynamics #arbovirus #zoonoses

  2. If this isn't evidence for the Gaia hypothesis, I don't know what would be. It's literally an induced, prophylactic immune response to one of the most unsustainable food systems humans have. Now if we could just have a highly contagious, otherwise symptomless STD that (after a variable incubation period) caused sterility and a distinctive facial scar for any human attempting to use a car or lorry...

  3. 🦠 Hantavirus, Ebola... Comment éviter la multiplication des #zoonoses, ces #maladies dont l’agent infectieux est originaire d’une autre espèce animale ?

    Philippe Grandcolas, biologiste et directeur de recherche au CNRS, nous explique pourquoi les zoonoses sont de plus en plus fréquentes et nous invite à repenser notre rapport à l’environnement.

  4. For anyone nervious or with health anxiety: youtube.com/watch?v=XMSv3zTFF1Y. It's Rebecca Watson's video, "No, Hantavirus is Not the Next Pandemic".

    Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

    Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

    Do managers want:

    Only ONE person this week out sick?
    Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

  5. Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
    Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
    Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.

  6. Researchers filmed 10 species eating or scavenging bats at known Marburg-virus hotspot — and caught hundreds of humans visiting. This offers clues to how deadly viruses, deadly for humans especially, spread.

  7. Many major disease outbreaks in humans—e.g. HIV, Ebola, COVID—have been linked to traded wildlife, but the massive national & international trade in domesticated animals is often also a source of zoonotic pathogens: doi.org/10.1038/d415... #Trade #Livestock #Animals #Wildlife #Zoonoses #PublicHealth

    Almost half of traded wildlife...

  8. Slips, trips and fall risks from ubiquitous dogs

    In dog-friendly Australia it seems the non-native canine is the most dominant species. They are allowed to roam the (dog-free) beaches, the national parks and (pet-friendly) workplaces, flats, cafes, restaurants etc. If not straying, then they are on long or flexible, extendable leashes stretching across hallways and footpaths.

    This trip-and-fall risk is human-unfriendly. The health, safety, and well-being of the bipedal companions is not considered. Pet dogs pose hygiene issues, potential zoonoses and allergy risks. The mental well-being of bite victims and phobia affected can trigger distress.

  9. Cohort Update 🩺🐾🌿One Health Côte d’Ivoire

    Our team is now on the ground in Taï and field activities have begun: participant recruitment and small mammal sampling are underway, the field lab is operational. A stakeholder workshop reinforced local engagement in zoonotic disease prevention — already covered by the Ivorian press.

    Human-to-primate transmission is a seldom-remarked epidemiologic vector. It is by definition a cross-species transmission vector.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought second-hand copies of Fevered Planet: How #Diseases Emerge When We Harm Nature by the late John Vidal and #Dust: The Modern World in a Trillion Particles by Jay Owens, and picked up a review copy of Uncommon Ground: Rethinking Our Relationship With the #Countryside by Patrick Galbraith.

  16. Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity

    Humans and their dogs drove our evolutionary cousins Neanderthals to extinction
    "Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>

  18. Do you remember when the old place was great for #ScienceComm?

    Anyway, as it was world #Zoonoses day yesterday, the message bares repeating.

    Do not kiss your dog - for both your sakes.

    And keep up to date with your
    vaccinations FFS.

  19. ☀️ A great opportunity to connect and share our work: At MV Day, our institute introduced itself and discussed zoonoses with the community. 🦠🔬 Thanks to everyone who stopped by – together, we’re working towards a healthier and safer region. #MVDay2025 #Zoonoses #Science #Community
