Surveillance is hard, laborious, expensive. Even more so in the Antarctic. With Erik Karlsson Meagan Dewar we highlight how to enhance our understanding of HPAI using innovative surveillance approaches. 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to be hosting the Pasteur Network Avian Influenza Symposium here in Phnom Penh this week organized by Institut Pasteur du Cambodge and The HKU-Pasteur Research Pole - first time all nine of these institutes have met under this network! #avianinfluenzasymposium #avianflu #pasteurnetwork #ipc

New toys for the holidays. Just got hands on the #Mk1d from Oxford Nanopore. Looking forward to using this in the field as we continue to make surveillance better, faster, and cheaper. #avianinfluenza #oxfordnanopore #nanopore #anywhereanything

Tis the season for #holiday lights. #avianinfluenza sequencing up and running on our new #mk1d from ⁦Oxford Nanopore at ⁦Institut Pasteur du Cambodge⁩ . #nanopore #oxfordnanopre #genomic #h5n1 #alliwantforchristmas #anywhereanything

Environmental sampling—air, water, and surfaces—in live bird markets coupled with #NGS can outperform traditional #poultry swabs in avian influenza (#H5N1) and other #zoonotic threats. Check out our preprint here: researchsquare.com/article/rs-568…

Smart surveillance really coming into its own. Air, water, and surface sampling in bird markets w NGS can outperform traditional swab based approaches in detecting in a diversity of viruses, including avian influenza. Amazing work by Erik Karlsson + team 👉researchsquare.com/article/rs-568…

The Virology Unit at IPC has 3 positions in #OneHealth: *#postdoc – Reconstructing Past Outbreaks *#postdoc – Environmental Surveillance *Clinical Manager These aren’t just #jobs. They’re front-row seats to global health in action. Ready? tinyurl.com/57rvxcau

A virus won’t go from “nothing” to “crisis” overnight—but ignoring it is like smelling smoke and thinking, “Eh, probably just toast.” Spoiler: it’s not toast. Early Warning is everything. Fund and improve systems that keep the kitchen from burning down. medscape.com/viewarticle/ke…

A long time coming, but our Oxford Nanopore P2Solo is finally running. Time to dive deeper into the messy unknown, hunt down mysterious pathogens, and maybe even find some shiny new viruses. Let's do this. #Nanopore #VirusHunting #Science #OneHealth #Genomics
