1/ No live virus found in pasteurized milk from #H5N1 infected cows. The Director of NIH's National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases reported that, while researchers could recover genome fragments (which we knew from yesterday), they were unable to culture virus.

FDA announces no infectious #H5N1 was found in PCR positive milk. They used the “gold standard” egg inoculation tests that many have been waiting for. Together with NIAID grantee studies and past publications, it’s pretty conclusive the milk is safe. fda.gov/food/alerts-ad…

Fatal case of #H5N2 reported by the WHO in Mexico. First confirmed human case of H5N2 ever! Very likely unrelated to the #H5N1 outbreak, but worth adding N-segment primers to wastewater so we can differentiate H5N1 from H5N2. h/t John Brownstein who.int/emergencies/di…

Let's bring some science into all this talk about #medetomidine. 🧵 TLDR: Expect unexpected sedation. We predicted it would soon emerge in illicit supply, and U.S. FDA agreed, and so we have this grant to investigate its pharmacology, etc. Zoe McElligott (since 2011, really since 1981) fda.gov/science-resear…

COVID-19 case numbers are on the rise in 39 states for the summer while hospitalizations and death rates remain low. ABC News Medical Contributor John Brownstein joins Diane Macedo for more.

WHO declares mpox a public health emergency as a new strain spreads in Africa. John Brownstein: "What we're seeing is rapid rising cases ... We're really trying to prevent a global spread like we saw with COVID." MORE: trib.al/cAKgjhP

The #Mpox in San Fran wastewater is the strain that has been spreading in the US for years. We need to rapidly deploy similar wastewater surveillance globally to better assess the distribution of clades I & II. x.com/MarleneKWolfe/…

We’ve activated in support of the recent Mpox declarations by the Africa CDC & World Health Organization (WHO) and tomorrow are launching a public, real-time data set with >20,000 cases from 15 countries. Stay tuned! John Brownstein Sam Scarpino Moritz Kraemer Oliver Morgan Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺 George Githinji🦠🧬🇰🇪💾 Tulio de Oliveira Aalisha Sahukhan

Tomorrow we’ll be live Global.health with up-to-date data on >20k Mpox cases. Good data saves lives!

1/ We’re live with data on >20k Mpox cases! Data are updated every 24 hours and have been validated by our curators through 8/25. Follow us for updates as the situation unfolds. global.health
