okay, veel deining over een fout in de Pauw uitzending over West Nijl virus. Voor geïnteresseerden: hier het complete, ingewikkelde, academische antwoord.
De vraag was complex: waar komt het virus vandaan. Dat zijn eigenlijk meerdere vragen: waar komt het NU vandaan en waar komt het oorspronkelijk vandaan. Van oorsprong heel duidelijk: uit Afrika, en vandaaruit via trekvogels naar Europa geintroduceerd @PubliekeOmroep @pauwendewit
@CDCgov @WHO this is a worrisome @ceirsinfluenza @florian_krammer thread. Any colleagues in the US that could follow up?

Bundibugyo outbreaks have been seen before, yet vaccine development was done for ebola zaire, sudan, not bundibugyo. We have to learn dw.com/en/ebola-why-is-there…
Important questions raised by the discovery of illegal labs in the US, as well as the rest of this piece. For instance biosafety rules only in federally funded labs? lawfaremedia.org/article/two…
Adding fuel to the fire. Such a tragedy…😢
Islamic State-linked militants raided a village in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing at least 33 civilians and forcing patients with confirmed and suspected Ebola infections to flee, authorities said on Friday. reuters.com/world/africa/isl…
Good to see this. The “offspring” reviewing Ralph Barics massive contribution to research and emerging disease preparedness. Dr Baric had to retire under the relentless pressure of politicians accusing scientists of causing the pandemic journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
screening of bats in Brazil for evidence if arbovirus infections. no active infections (which would have been a lucky shot) but she evidence for past exposure to mayor virus link.springer.com/article/10…
Genomic sequencing tracks origin of Washington cattle outbreaks , most likely through cattle movement
Two new vaccine candidates ready for trials in DRC, now bundibugyo specific. Will be much needed , goid to see and hopefully effective

First local transmission of chikungunya in Switzerland. One of the viruses that can be transmitted once aedes mosquitos are established. For europe, mostly tiger mosquitos, moving north. Also expected in The Netherlands

Another fascinating paper by Jonathan Pekar, using data on cattle density and movement, viral genomic data from birds and cattle, to reconstruct the emergence and spread of the first H5 avian influenza virus genotype in the US. Cattle movement key factor biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
