Het poliovirus gevonden in rioolwater in Polen, Finland, Spanje, Finland & Duitsland. Het virus circuleert dus opnieuw in Europa. Erg belangrijk dat artsen vaccinatie status natrekken zeker voor wie uit polio endemische regio’s komt. ⁦@JorisMonis⁩

Check our paper. Pre-epidemic #Zika virus strains cause >CNS-damage in mouse embryos than epidemic strains. The virus may have evolved to attenuation, resulting in disease rather than premature in utero death. ⁦@Nature⁩ ⁦⁦@Mailis_Darmuzey⁩

The Louisiana patient with #H5N1 #birdflu contracted the virus from birds, but the virus evolved (acquired mutations) in the patient. Importance of genomic surveillance in people & animals! Prevent exposure of people to infected animals & environments.

This patient had sexual contact with a person with #mpox (-like symptoms), they isolated on their own before diagnosis. No high-risk contacts in #Belgium identified. Risk to the public in Belgium remains low, according to the #ECDC .

Het #H5N1 #vogelgriep virus infecteert een veelheid aan wilde zoogdieren (hier voor de VS) maar ook o.a. rundvee (in de VA). Soms ook mensen. Een “vogel” virus dus….
