Update on monkeypox from the WHO. Outbreak on decline but > 73000 cases in 106 countries and still expanding in some. Challenging question: will it die out? Certainly important white spots on the global surveillance map so there surely is underreporting who.int/publications/m…

🤯 The black death killed 30-60% of Europe so it's reasonable to think it affected the allele frequency spectrum.

Absolutely incredible nature paper using ancient DNA pre-post the black death to show positive selection of immune genes due to the plague (Fig2d-g).

One would be hard pressed to create a 'nicer' epidemic curve with a SIR type model. Immunity in core well connected international network rather than behaviour change is most parsimonious explanation.

Most recent work from the lab just out nature. By combining ancient DNA work, population genomics, and in vitro infections we show that the Black Death shaped the evolution of immune genes. Kuddos to co-first authors Tauras Vilgalys and Jennifer Klunk. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Wow, fascinating. sequencing of DNA from humans sampled before, during and after the black death shows that the population that survived had certain genetic markers that increase response to yersinia infection in macrophages. Infections shape our history nature.com/articles/s4158…

This is a valuable, lucid, expert thread.

Dr Tedros follows advise from the IHR emergency committee on COVID19. who.int/groups/covid-1…

I wish people would be as concerned about use of antibiotics in animal production, biosecurity of poultry and pig farms, bushmeat, illegal animal trade, ecosystem destruction and global warming as drivers for future pandemics as they are about GoF research.

Zullen we ophouden Baudet te pathologiseren of te ridiculiseren? Hij is niet gek, maar al tien jaar lang tamelijk consistent in het uitdragen van extreem-rechtse en antisemitische denkbeelden.

This study is the result of another team effort between well prepared clinicians, virologists, public health specialists and others, honoured to work with all of them! Rory de Vries Luca Zaeck 🦠🔬 Marion Koopmans Bart Haagmans 🦠🐪 🤧 Nature Medicine Dr. Alison Farrell Erasmus MC

Congrats! Important work and done so rapidly! Much more knowledge needed on #monkeypox !

Our amazing team. Great collab diagnostics, clinicians, basic scientists and municipal health. Antibody responses to monkeypox. Data needed because little knowledge about the topic @RIVM @minvws . nature.com/articles/s4159… GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond Dr Sylvie Briand @ECRAID VEOEurope ECDC Maria Van Kerkhove
