First relatives of rubella virus found in bats from Uganda and mice from Germany. Check out our paper, just published in @nature. Does this portend challenges for global #rubella elimination? Only time and research will tell. https://t.co/u7xjdEpb5U

Cool new paper about predicting zoonotic viruses in Cell: https://t.co/XtNBxbHS10. We point the finger at simian arteriviruses as being high risk for spillover. Fabulous work by Jens Kuhn, @GoldbergTony, @CJayWarren, @elcarnalaso, @QingMillerYang and others!

Arteriviruses that infect nonhuman primates can cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers. One such virus, SHFV, is capable of infecting and replicating in human monocytes by using CD163 as the intracellular...

I appeared on Episode 7 of "Paranormal: Declassified" on @travelchannel. Could an infection cause a zombie apocalypse? You decide! https://t.co/XeN1W9Wtfb

Although the chimpanzee illness has yet to be found in a human being, the two species share about 99% of their hereditary material, or DNA.

Here's a new paper in @NatureComms about a "mystery disease" in chimps at @Tacugama in Sierra Leone. Is this new bacterium a localized bug, or might it be elsewhere too? "One Health" in action!

What's killing the eagles? Read this piece in @Audubon Magazine by the very talented @RachelNuwer. It describes our hunt for the cause of Wisconsin River Eagle Syndrome, a deadly affliction of bald eagles.

For 25 years researchers struggled to find the culprit behind a mysterious illness plaguing eagles around the Wisconsin River. Finally, a clue emerges.

What if SARS-CoV-2 "spilled back" into animals? This story by @EmmaKeelingTV discusses the possibility with @GoldbergTony. Needless to say, let's hope this doesn't happen! https://t.co/9sCUvgCbaV

Check out this article, just published in @SciReports. We found a new virus associated with mass mortality in freshwater mussels in the Clinch River, Tennessee and Virginia. Is it causal? Time and research will tell.

Interesting piece in @NYTmag about #zoonoses, by @ferrisjabr. Seemingly simple actions by uninformed individuals can spark pandemics.

More on #COVID19 in apes, this time in @TheEconomist. Gorillas are indeed "bad at social distancing," and this is indeed “another problem that the apes don’t need.” https://t.co/tbQXU45s7q

Here's a nice piece by @NPR (Radio IQ , Virginia Public Radio) about the work I'm doing with @USFWS, @USGS, and @USGSWILDLIFE on freshwater mussel die-offs. This is one worth fighting for. https://t.co/DNalRaYEfi

The Fresh water mussel is nature’s river cleaner. But every autumn, for three years running, there’s been a mass die off of one of the most important…
