Over the past decade, avian influenza viruses have posed increasing threats globally. In The Lancet Infectious Diseases, authors examine the changing epidemiology of zoonotic infections by avian influenza virus & outline an integrated approach for virus control: hubs.li/Q02CDPFJ0

🚨Pre-print alert 🚨: Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 WGS datasets from +VE individuals and wastewater samples in Northern Ireland. Props to Evan Troendle for drawing all the data from the NI COG-UK and SARS2 Wastewater Surveillance programmes together and the efforts of all co-authors.

Check out our latest preprint on SARS-CoV-2 genomics from individuals and wastewater led in the computer by Evan ( Evan Troendle and co) and in the lab by Andrew Lee and @MarinaIReyne and co (QUB Wastewater based Epidemiology Group ) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Influenza A in wastewater in Ireland: detection of human and avian influenzas, including H13s and a 2344b-like NS segment. 👉thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

Found a bit of free time to sort this commissioned serving board. Decent sized slab of ash with metallic black resin requested.

We set up an NHS Lantern Lab for asymptomatic testing of HCW in NI along with colleagues in Ulster Uni. Frustratingly few samples received from HCW- bureaucracy. Instead we tested thousands of SEND samples- so facility was there- but not used for HCW. Vanessa Brown

Wastewater based epidemiology can help underpin the One Health approach…and it really is a cheap and cheerful method of surveillance. BioTechniques BioTechniques invited me to waffle a bit about our influenza A work tinyurl.com/45y2bh8w

🚨 New video alert! 🚰💡 Dive into wastewater-based epidemiology—where science meets public health! We've made it simple and fun for everyone to understand. Watch now, follow us, comment, and share! Let’s spread knowledge, not just germs. 🌍🙌 👇🏻 youtu.be/ylFgMKi0fRU?si…

In NI we built a world leading programme to proactively monitor these virus, with results in real time and often in advance of clinical cases. It’s such a shame-and a worry-that we are no longer utilising this investment to support public health QUB Wastewater based Epidemiology Group Alan Stout
