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/..

[Job 🔴] Interested in AMR epidemiology? This is for you 🙂. ▶️ https://t.co/sfbJCgfHnW We are looking for a multilingual microbiologist, pharmacist, or epidemiologist to develop https://t.co/PGmsGJltFa AMR data identification, extraction, curation, analysis.

Every week, the Public Health Virology team @ErasmusMC receives samples collected from wild birds across the Netherlands and screens them for #arboviruses. Pics: @TjommeM & M. Groen ringing and sampling birds, sample unpacking and @AtamaNnomzie testing by RT-PCR. #OneHealth

Very interesting and diverse week with @OneHealthPact! Mosquito identification, wild bird catching and metagenomic sequencing for arboviral surveillance in wildlife. @BlomRody @TjommeM @MarionKoopmans @Essenburgpark

Beautiful phylogenomic study of Maverick transposons of vertebrates: @josegabrielnb and @ArisKatzourakis 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!

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: https://t.co/UAPSpMEvdB

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. https://t.co/ypVQ7IN2Lm

Thanks to our collaborative effort our paper describing the situation on the Dutch mink farms is out! @MarionKoopmans @ReinaSikkema @WimvanderPoel1 @ArjanStegeman @emmanuelle_mun and a lot more. https://t.co/igkN3u6F4C

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

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.

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.
