In order to understand the world around us as the truth about it is emerging from a 100+ year slumber, it’s going to be important to challenge ideas that have absolutely zero basis in reality.

Is it just us or does it feel like we are all starring in #StrangerThings and living in ‘the Upside Down’? We sure are living in stranger times and dealing with unpredictable plot twists almost every other day.
On August 24, 2022, India reported 10,649 new cases of the novel #coronavirus.
While the once-novel disease keeps coming back in waves, it isn’t the only one that the country is battling today. New diseases such as #monkeypox and #TomatoFlu are also plaguing the whole world.

Mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals in the 🌎🌍🌏 as they can transmit diseases such as:
🔸 Malaria
🔸 Dengue
🔸 Filariasis
🔸 Chikungunya
🔸 Zika
🔸 Yellow fever
🦟 borne diseases put the lives of billions at risk.

Over 600 000 people die from mosquito-borne malaria every year.
Sleeping 💤 under insecticide-treated nets is one of the most effective ways to prevent #malaria.

WHO recommends broad use of the first malaria vaccine (RTS,S) among children living in #malaria endemic areas with moderate to high transmission. The life-saving vaccine has been shown to have high impact in real-life use - to significantly ↘️ severe malaria, & ↘️ child deaths.

Das ist alles nicht so richtig überraschend, Fachleute warnen seit Jahren vor der Entwicklung. Die Gründe sind vielfältig, das wäre nen eigenen Thread wert.
Aber vor allem müssen wir uns darauf einrichten, dass uns das Problem auf absehbare Zeit begleitet. Was also tun?

The recent outbreaks of #Zika Virus in #Kerala has renewed interest in this virus. This tweetorial explains some key aspects about the virus and why we should be actively using #genomics for #GeneticEpidemiology
The disease in most people is mild. Majority of people infected with Zika virus DO NOT develop symptoms. Symptoms are generally mild including fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache, and usually last for 2–7 days.

Death is RARE
Infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly & congential malformations.
Neurological complications like Guillain-Barré syndrome, neuropathy and myelitis are seen in some.

This shift to personal responsibility for #COVID is straight out of the (poor) epidemic response playbook. The exact same thing happened during Zika.
Government told people not to get infected thru insecticide/long sleeves, improve vector control and not to get pregnant. 1/
Government told people not to get infected thru insecticide/long sleeves, improve vector control and not to get pregnant. 1/
What then happened was that govs were then able to place responsibility onto individuals to avoid having children born with #CZS - The approach was "we've given you all the guidance, if you choose to get pregnant and not protect yourself from infection, that's your decision" 2/
The problem with this was the multiple structural barriers which prevented many people from following this guidance... affordability of insecticide, poor sanitation which meant mosquito proliferation, poor access to contraception 3/

WHO, @FAO, @OIEAnimalHealth and @UNEP have come together to launch a new One Health High-Level Expert Panel to improve understanding of how diseases with the potential to trigger pandemics, emerge and spread
👉 bit.ly/3wjpoEl
👉 bit.ly/3wjpoEl
The panel will advise on the development of a long-term global plan of action to avert outbreaks of diseases like H5N1 avian influenza; MERS; #Ebola; #Zika, &, possibly, #COVID19. Three quarters of all emerging infectious diseases originate in animals.
👉bit.ly/3wjpoEl

The panel will operate under the One Health Approach, which recognizes the links between the health of people, animals, and the environment and highlights the need for specialists in multiple sectors to address any health threats and prevent disruption to agri-food systems.
🧵1/ In a pandemic, we have two urgent interests: that life saving vaccines/ treatments be created, manufactured, & distributed, and that the disease be quickly contained/eliminated worldwide without a potentially catastrophic resurgence. #covid19

2/ The financial interests of pharmaceutical shareholders accord with our first interest, but not always with the second.

We found that whilst #zika spurred abortion demand amongst individual womxn and global debate on #reproductiverights - the heath emergency didn’t change national regulation or policy change for abortion access.

This was on account of the narrow policy path dependency in #globalhealthsecurity focused on epidemiology which did not consider gendered needs or the broader social effects of epidemics, combined with deeply conservative context + recent political history

Something 'flattened' the dengue curve in 2017-2018. Every year in Brazil, cases of #dengue rise around March, when conditions are favourable (mosquitoes, rain, temperature). But, for some reason, in those two years, dengue cases were low in all regions of the country. 📉🦠
Infectious diseases are transmitted in a population of susceptible hosts following a rate called Force of Infection (FOI).
@RJOidtman, @guido_camargo and @TAlexPerkins estimated dengue FOI for each region in Brazil, and found viral transmission was indeed quite low in 2017-2018.

As #Brazil becomes the new epicentre of #COVID19 these are my must reads to understand the political context in which the outbreak emerged and the impact of this (a thread)
This piece by @Deisy_Ventura early on in the outbreak captures a lot of the anticipated tensions within the SUS (unified health system); between Bolsonaro, science and populism (similar in many ways to US, UK etc) - which unfortunately have become real!

Global shifts in mammalian population trends reveal key predictors of virus spillover risk. Out in Proc Royal Society B @RSocPublishing @CKreuderJohnson @EpiCenterUCD @PREDICTproject @OneHealthUCD @ucdavisvetmed @LairmoreDVMDean @NIH doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…
Co-authors include @petaleeh @PanditPranav, @SmileyTierra, Julie Rushmore, Cristin Young, and Megan Doyle. The study was supported by @PREDICTproject and @NIH
The study concludes that the exploitation of natural habitats is not only a conservation issue, but an important driver of spillover transmission zoonotic viruses. Here is a thread that discusses three key points highlighted from study.
Brilliant talk by Phill James @Grounded_circus on #SARSCoV2 genome sequencing using @nanopore sequencing. Giving humanity hope in these dark times. Here I will share some information from the talk. Thread.👇
Why #Nanopore for Sars-Cov2 genome sequencing? @nanopore sequencing allows us to do real-time sequencing cost-effectively and with low instrument cost. In the #COVID19 context, it can help us monitor the #coronavirus spread and vaccine efficacy.
.@nanopore was used before for monitoring other viral outbreaks, such as #Ebola: nature.com/articles/natur… and #Zika: genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
