bbc.com/news/articles/cdjwz7… Important to read interviews with mpox-experienced healthcare workers, like this one with Dr Ngadjole, who is responding to mpox outbreaks in DRC & observing who is affected, how mpox is spreading, & how transmission can be stopped. More resources needed.

Mpox in DR Congo: The children who are suffering the most

Many of those suffering and being treated at the epicentre of the mpox outbreak are young children.

Mpox recently was detected in Burundi. This article describes some key challenges. It also is refreshing that Burundi is open about the problem, unlike some other countries. Hiding or suppressing information is a poor strategy when dealing with outbreaks. bbc.com/news/articles/cly3xz…

Mpox in Burundi: On the frontline of the fight to halt the spread

Cases are rising in Burundi as the virus moves from neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.

Important to understand: is this what you see when looking more systematically at humans in contact with infected cows, or is there something particular about the viruses on this farm

The 5 human cases of #H5N1 #avianflu in #Colorado are concerning: ✅Are + cases from animals or is it h2h transmission? ✅We need genomic sequencing to check for virus evolution? ✅What symptoms are present? ✅What therapy being used? ✅Are suspects & contacts isolated?

By being in the scientific manuscript of the new Mpox Ib clade in the DRC, I found this piece at the Telegraph very inconsistent with the scientific results presented. This kind of news can spread misinformation, panic and increase discrimination. 🧵 telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…

New strain of monkeypox causes miscarriages and spreads rapidly without sexual contact, experts warn

The mutant variant, clade 1b, is described as ‘undoubtedly the most dangerous strain of mpox yet’

Intresting short article in @NatureMedicine discussing the decline in clinical academics in the UK and US. Another issue, not discussed, is the failure to recognise all the components of the job equally, clinical/research/teaching. The interests of Universities and the NHS are not the same and clinical academics suffer as a result. @StephenORahilly

So exited to share our newest paper in @NatureMedicine, where we link early life gut virome with later asthma. Specific compositions of temperate phages drive the association independently from their bacterial counterpart and interacts with host genetics. nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
