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. đsciencedirect.com/science/articlâŠ


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 âŠOxford Nanopore at âŠInstitut Pasteur du Cambodgeâ© . #nanopore #oxfordnanopre #genomic #h5n1 #alliwantforchristmas #anywhereanything


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 đresearchsquare.com/article/rs-568âŠ



A virus wonât go from ânothingâ to âcrisisâ overnightâbut ignoring it is like smelling smoke and thinking, âEh, probably just toast.â Spoiler: itâs not toast. Early Warning is everything. Fund and improve systems that keep the kitchen from burning down. medscape.com/viewarticle/keâŠ

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
