Our Vet Ophthalmologist Dr David Williams visited @SheprethWPark to visit Ratna the Tiger and checked her eye after corneal surgery. 🐯Study Veterinary Medicine at @Cambridge_Uni - you never know where your journey will take you! #BeCambridge #CambridgeVets #StudyAtCambridge
🐅 Update on the eye of the tiger! @CamVetSchool ophthalmologist Dr David Williams visited Ratna the tiger at Shepreth Wildlife Park last week to see how her eye is healing after groundbreaking corneal surgery in 2021. He was delighted to see that the eye is healing well!

A very important thread and paper by the brilliant @FreyJephcott. Global health starts locally.
📢One for the field epis! 6⃣take homes from my new paper on outbreak investigations. TBH some are pretty obvious, but I think worth repeating.🔎🐒 A less more detailed, less gif-heavy thread is pinned on my profile. #FETP #TEPHINET #epitwitter #fieldepi

can infection data in wildlife be leveraged to predict downstream spillover? with the right amount of ecology and careful sampling, we think the answer is yes, and now have some ideas from the Hendra virus system. big thanks to @rainamontana @ali_bat and @BatOneHealth
New work by @danjbecker, @ali_bat, @rainamontana and others in @Ecology_Letters shows how historical ecology and recent food scarcity affect Hendra virus shedding from Australian flying foxes and spillover risks to horses: https://t.co/f0J6KMVLUD
