Czy nasze służby sanitarni-epidemiologiczne oraz weterynaryjne są przygotowane do diagnostyki, śledztw epidemiologicznych i biomonitoringu? Chciałbym wierzyć, że tak. My z Krzysztof Pyrc, Ravi Kant, Luk zawsze jesteśmy na posterunku 🧬🦠🧫

Despite this increase in #mpox cases, the overall risk from this outbreak in the DRC for the general population in the EU/EEA and for MSM with multiple sexual partners in the EU/EEA remains low. ⁦@ECDC_Outbreaks⁩ ⁦ECDC⁩ ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events…

V happy to see this out - reprocessing 5million SARS-CoV-2 genomes to remove systematic errors (+thereby improve the phylogeny) and improve representation of genomes from the Global South. Huge amount of work esp. from Martin Hunt, Angie Hinrich+collabs biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It was great to host Prof. Martin Beer Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI Germany) & Prof. Aaron Schmidt Schmidt Lab (Harvard University) for the first time in University of Helsinki with Olli_Vapalahti Tarja Sironen ! Thanks for the inspiring exchange of ideas, looking forward to more collaborations #Savotta

Two patients with imported Cutaneous Leishmaniasis tried alternative treatments - Kombo frog therapy, a fruitarian diet + hyperbaric oxygen. None were effective until antiparasitic drugs were administered Anna Kuna Ravi Kant Institute of Maritime and Tropical Medicine Gdański Uniwersytet Medyczny (GUMed) mdpi.com/2414-6366/9/10…
