Today Friday November 10 is #WorldScienceDay #WorldScienceDay2023
#WorldScienceDayforPeaceandDevelopment
This year’s theme is the importance of building trust in science – at Houston, TX

Thanks to the Asia-Pacific Biosafety Association for inviting me to present our work on proof-of-concept that One Health surveillance in EID hotspots can provide actionable public health data to reduce risk of disease spillover. @Biosaf_Hlth

Join ICMR in observing 'One Health Day', with a special webinar titled 'Nipah Virus Disease – A One Health Perspective.' This marks the kickoff of our monthly webinar series this November. Tune in at 5:00 PM via this link: echo.zoom.us/j/89511283361. #OneHealth #NipahVirusDisease
It's most likely a sample size issue. Nipah infection typically occurs at a very low (<3%) incidence in Pteropus medius, the bat species that carries Nipah throughout India & Bangladesh, including Kerala. #PragyaYadav @icmr_niv previously found Nipah in these bats in Kerala.

Climatic events like the ones induced by #ElNiño impact unmanaged wildlife populations too. Understanding the potential impact can help develop locally relevant plans and engage key agencies and community stakeholders in preparedness, and in designing communication strategies.

All thoughts with people of Bangladesh. With climate change, a mosquito adapted to urbanisation, dense populations, multiple serotypes circulating, late diagnosis, very demanding & difficult clinical care this will become increasingly frequent globally bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-66…

Many thanks again to the @latimes for rolling the dice with me on this opinion piece and standing up for science. Not long ago we took this for granted, but tragically for the nation this is no longer the case.

Our newest paper shows that forest restoration may not always have positive outcomes for human health (1/2). @Raquelucarvalho @cmzambranat @PeterDaszak @EcoHealthNYC @JAppliedEcology

Coalition member @EpsteinJon from @EcoHealthNYC spoke about the need to invest in research to establish the frequency of spillovers in already mapped-out geographical hotspots globally.

We must learn from the past and work together across the human, animal and environmental sectors to shift the paradigm from rapid detection and response to prevention at the source.

Infectious disease epidemiologist and public health expert David Heymann spoke at the #WOAHGlobalConference on #Emergency management about how pandemics over the past thirty years could have been prevented if the global community committed itself to the #OneHealth approach.

Big @batsgoviral week! In @PNASNews and @ScienceAdvances we test how to prevent zoonotic #spillover by interrupting virus transmission in bat reservoirs. Short story: culls didn’t reduce spillover but altered rabies spatial spread; transmissible vaccines may be a solution. A 🧵.

Bats, rodents and shrews have different beta diversity patterns in Africa. Find out more in our recent paper dealing with this exciting field:

Many emerging disease events🦠 have been linked to wildlife, but human activities like ⭕️wildlife trade, ⭕️deforestation & ⭕️certain farm practices also drive interactions between humans & previously isolated species. Protecting wildlife, protects global health.

#2022Highlights - #OneHealth was high on the international agenda @CITES #COP19 & @CBD_COP15. With @IUCN, we reviewed how to minimise risk of zoonotic disease transmission & emergence in wildlife supply chains through @USAID Wildlife TRAPS
