Predicting the #Risk of Avian #Influenza #Zoonosis using Viral #Genome Sequencing Data, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2026/08/predicting-risk-of-avian-influenza.html

"Diseases
today reveal our close ties to animals. Viruses leap from bats to camels to humans. Cats catch the flu, and tourists pass tuberculosis to elephants. In recent years, however, something has changed. Exploitation of the environment is causing more diseases to jump species than ever before — a threat to life that rivals climate change. The science is clear: the cause of this great acceleration is us."

"In Sentinels, Michael Dulaney takes readers from southern China to the Andes, from the Arctic to Australia, to tell the gripping stories of the people and animals at the forefront of this enormous change. Dulaney joins ecologists tracking flying foxes through Australia’s eastern forests, and frog hunters netting endangered species on Indonesian mountains. Along the way, we meet lemmings that resist global warming, coastal seals with bird flu, and genetically engineered disease-proof pigs."

"...Sentinels is an essential reckoning with our intimate connection to nature, and a call to build a fairer world for all." >>

The samples from D. albiventris exhibited the greatest diversity in terms of the number of viral families found. Furthermore, based on Figure 2, D. albiventris was the species with the highest viral diversity, presenting a total of 54 viral genera. Among these, 39 genera were found exclusively in this species, while the remaining 15 genera were also detected in other animal species. The high viral diversity in

"The World Health Organization has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo a public health emergency of international concern, with more than 100 reported deaths in its east of the country and potentially over 1000 people infected. The cause is a more recently discovered form of the Ebola virus called Bundibugyo. After an incubation period of 10 days or ..."

As millions of Americans head outside for camping trips, hiking, and backyard BBQs, billions of ticks are already waiting in the grass, ready to bite. Not only are their numbers growing, but today's ticks are more likely to carry Lyme disease bacteria and other dangerous pathogens. Is the tick and tick-borne disease situation similar globally?

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?

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.

The two first known hantavirus victims — a Dutch couple — had embarked on a sprawling voyage across Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, making it hard for investigators to trace the origin of the infection.

And as deflections of the potential origin flourished, answers remained scant.

Whether livestock can be infected is perhaps the most important question. The chance encounter of a wildlife pathogen with domestic animals raised in large numbers in close quarters will yield devastating results.

This video explores the critical public health risks associated with wildlife trade and fur farming, focusing predominantly on the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus and its pandemic potential. It offers expert insights into how fur farming—particularly of mink—serves as a significant mixing vessel for various influenza viruses, promoting viral evolution and increasing

Michael Bresalier shares a historical perspective on some of the changing ways in which zoonoses have been framed and tackled as global problems connected to human interactions with animals, with changing environments, and with each other through globalised systems of animal food production and consumption.

I joke that those concerned about contracting an illness from cats need to seek medical attention immediately-from a psychiatrist. What's to be said if the one sounding the alarm IS a psychiatrist?
