Debarment of the EcoHealth Alliance is both unjust + jeopardizes our nation’s biosecurity. It’s among the few orgs we have to monitor emerging zoonotic influenzas, CoVs across Asia, the Middle East. Shutting this down for Qanon conspiracies puts the American 🇺🇸 people at risk

This isn't exactly new. This outbreak began months ago, but that doesn't make it any less of a problem.

For vaccine-preventable diseases like mpox, we need to do a better job of stopping these outbreaks before they start, or we'll always be trying to catch up.

This is great preliminary news from Canadian Food Inspection Agency!

It would be even better if there were more details about where the samples were collected, how they assessed no evidence of disease, how many cows were tested, what tests were used, and what future surveillance plans are.

Very glad to see the issue of wastewater surveillance for H5N1 getting some much-needed attention. Widespread outbreaks in dairy cows and other mammals represent one of the more likely scenarios that we anticipated for future pandemics. A few thoughts... latimes.com/environment/st…

If this turns out to be a filovirus (Ebola, Marburg), then it will mark the first instance of these viruses emerging in Burundi.

These viruses are devastating and the list of countries at risk for outbreaks continues to grow. It's essential to be proactive about containment.
