🚨 Spread of the Invasive #AedesAlbopictus (#TigerMosquito) in Europe | April 2017 - October 2023 🌎 First detected in Albania in 1979, it spread to Spain by 2004. This mosquito is a major public health concern as it can transmit diseases like #dengue Data source: @ECDC_EU

Large study shows humans can learn from AI feedback but access to AI also amplifies existing inequalities by increasing the skill gap and reduces intellectual diversity: everyone learns to specialize in the same areas https://t.co/igSIj33n8r

UPDATE MINACCE INFETTIVE - #COVID: continua purtroppo anche in Italia l'ondata iniziata questa estate, rinvigorita dall'inizio della scuola e delle attività al chiuso, oltre alla comparsa di una nuova variante #XEC. Il numero dei casi dice poco, perché nessuno fa più i test. 1)

What are the big questions that emerge during new epidemics? And how do we answer them? @dr_anne_cori and I have put together a new review of inference of epidemic dynamics in the modern era, from understanding dynamics to evaluation of interventions:

2024 is the worst year for dengue cases on record, with over 10 million cases already reported globally. A Lancet Editorial highlights the need for a multipronged and multidisciplinary approach to halt the spread of dengue virus: https://t.co/xnSsOu3H4r

Very interesting and relevant article by @OswaldoGressani and team, supported by the #VERDI and @ESCAPEpandemics projects, on estimating incubation times via a Bayesian approach! @Penta_ID

Il turismo come ultima frontiera dello "sviluppo" italiano, mentre il declino accelera. Dopo la pandemia il trend è diventato inequivocabile e non verrà fermato a breve. Anzi, nei prossimi anni ci sarà un'ulteriore spinta alla divisione dell'Italia in 3 macroaree che 1/10

Florida reported 7 locally acquired cases of #dengue in 2024, among 778 reported imported infections across the continental US: https://t.co/OTv9aFWAge

“My overall concern about this outbreak is that it’s being treated too much as an economic problem & too little as a public health & animal health problem." @thijskuiken sees shades of the Dutch Q fever outbreak of 2007-10 in US response to #H5N1 #birdflu

Important point by @mlipsitch at #PandemicSciences24: the success of the 100 days mission for vaccine development during a pandemic depends on success of non-pharmaceutical interventions before vaccines become available.

When symptoms arise, so do questions: When should I test? How accurate is it really? And what should I do if I test positive? ➡️ Researchers unveil a new model to quickly answer such questions, not only for COVID but also for emerging rapid tests for RSV, flu & other bugs 1/
