Here is analysis of HA mutations in H5 influenza case in Missouri resident without known contact w animals or raw milk. TLDR: there is one HA mutation that strongly affects antigenicity, and another that merits some further study.

Because at EFSA preparedness for future challenges in #riskassessment is key.... here comes a very interesting report on #omics and #Bioinformatics Hopefully now with partners across all 🇪🇺 we can prioritize knowledge areas to invest further in the future.

Our new GenSpectrum.org dashboard has finally launched! Using Influenza H5N1, RSV and SARS-CoV-2 data from INSDC and West Nile virus data from Pathoplexus, it enables fast and interactive analyses of genome sequencing data similar to CoV-Spectrum. 1/5

New data from @Durable_eu partner Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl and collaborators show rapid spread of mpox mostly through sexual contact within densely populated areas, highlighting the need for extended cross-border collaboration and health education strategies. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Not surprising: infectiousness of H5n1 can be retained in cheese made from raw milk. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Why am i not surprised? This has been described before, for tick borne encephalitis for instance frontiersin.org/journals/micro…
