Our preprint, on the first animal-human transmission of Sars-cov-2 on Dutch mink farms is now online! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… With Bas Oude Munnink Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl @ArjanStegeman Wim van der Poel

Mosquito identification with the One Health PACT. Jordy G. van der Beek Sander Koenraadt

Dear Swiss friends, This week-end you will be voting. You might ask yourself: WHAT does immigration do FOR Switzerland? #limitationinitiative Let me introduce you my research team at ETH Zurich.

Eurosurveillance | Detection of West Nile virus in a common whitethroat (Curruca communis) and Culex mosquitoes in the Netherlands, 2020. Thanks to ⁦One Health PACT⁩ . Working towards better preparedness eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…

Aidez-nous à faire comprendre que renoncer à une fête, ce n'est pas renoncer à la vie, à l'amitié ou à l'amour. Que c'est temporaire, ça passera, que c'est protéger les plus faibles en bout de chaîne, que c'est faire preuve de lien, d'humanité #minuitmoinsune #stopcorona

ICU in CH (29.10.2020) ➡️Exponential increase of COVID-19 patients in ICU. But so far compensated by limiting non-covid patients. This already has consequences on health, and it is no long term solution. ➡️2nd wave could largely exceed the first wave, even if lockdown today.

Our study describing a phylogeographic and phylodynamic framework for epidemiological hypothesis testing is now published in Nature Communications. We show how to exploit genomic data to formally test the impact of environmental factors on the dispersal dynamics of West Nile virus

Thanks to our collaborative effort our paper describing the situation on the Dutch mink farms is out! Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl Reina Sikkema Wim van der Poel @ArjanStegeman Emmanuelle Munger and a lot more. science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

Mink COVID-19 outbreak in a farm in the north of Greece too. All samples tested are positive, many sick animals, 10/91 workers on the farm test positive too. in.gr/2020/11/13/gre…

Hurricane Eta brought torrential rain to much of Central America. Join in the project on the Tasking Manager to help finish the basemap of Honduras, supporting the work of the IFRC. There is still some mapping and validating to be done: bit.ly/2JLj3iF

Beautiful phylogenomic study of Maverick transposons of vertebrates: @josegabrielnb and Aris Katzourakis conclude that Mavericks represent an ancient lineage of mostly aquatic dsDNA viruses, which integrated into animal host genomes and have persisted for ~ 419 million years!

Very interesting and diverse week with One Health PACT! Mosquito identification, wild bird catching and metagenomic sequencing for arboviral surveillance in wildlife. Rody Blom Tjomme van Mastrigt Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl Essenburgpark

Every week, the Public Health Virology team Erasmus MC receives samples collected from wild birds across the Netherlands and screens them for #arboviruses. Pics: Tjomme van Mastrigt & M. Groen ringing and sampling birds, sample unpacking and Nnomzie Atama testing by RT-PCR. #OneHealth

[Job 🔴] Interested in AMR epidemiology? This is for you 🙂. ▶️shorturl.at/jlm68 We are looking for a multilingual microbiologist, pharmacist, or epidemiologist to develop resistancebank.org AMR data identification, extraction, curation, analysis.

Great paper by PhD student Louella Kasbergen. Massive piece of work, looking into the quality of studies using serology for arbovirus exposure testing. This is often done, but quite challenging due to cross reactive antibodies 1/..

interested in climate change and vecotrborne disease research? We may have the perfect post doc position for you! academictransfer.com/nl/333821/post…
