@MarionKoopmans @WHO @ECDC_EU verbazingwekkend weinig informatie over ratten aan boord van MS Hondius en of die besmet waren met Hantavirus en mogelijke rol in de besmettingen aan boord. Als hypotesis moet dit wel worden onderzocht. En zo niet dan "person to person" transmissie beter beschrijven.

Additional hantavirus case identified in a person in quarantaine shows why quarantaine is important. There is no new risk nos.nl/artikel/261542… @WHO @ECDC_EU

@DrTedros @WHO @MinofHealthUG Fantastic! once again looking for the power of controlling diseases even their erradication, like smallpox! and allmost poliomyelitis. keep it up!!

With @WHO's support, @MinofHealthUG has started a vaccine trial against #Ebola Sudan virus today. The trial will enroll contacts of people with the disease, and contacts of the contacts. This vaccination trial was initiated with record speed, only three days since the outbreak was declared, while ensuring full compliance with international and national regulatory and ethical requirements. It is also the first trial to assess the clinical efficacy of a vaccine against Ebola Sudan virus disease. This trial demonstrates the importance of investing in R&D for vaccines and treatments and outbreak response preparedness, as well as partnerships. We thank @Makerere University and @UVRIug for their leadership, as well as @AfricaCDC, @CEPIvaccines, @EC_HERA and @IDRC_CRDI for their collaboration on this lifesaving effort. WHO will continue supporting the government in a comprehensive response to bring the outbreak under control.

@lorelei4567 @MarionKoopmans ze bedoelde "woof"

@MarionKoopmans Je kunt de mensen niet blijven iets wijsmaken en elke keer “wolf” roepen, de keren dat jullie waarschuwden voor een “wolf” die niet kwam zijn uitgeput.

Look at this statistic. That is why virologists continue to raise attention for avian influenza

@MarionKoopmans 2 vd 4 nieuwe vaacines zouden 10 tot 30% effectiever zijn om ZH opname te voorkomen. Geen dramatisch groot voordeel lijkt mij, zeker niet als dit 10% zou zijn. Bijna binnen de grenzen van statische variatie en meetfouten

Er zijn een aantal nieuwe griepvaccins. De Gezondheidsraad heeft bekeken wat daarover bekend is gezondheidsraad.nl/onderwerpen/va…

@HumansNoContext @elonmusk it is about concepts is it not?

@stats_feed I think Macanomics, comparing the price of a bigmac gives a better idea about purchasing power. Insuline seems extra ordinary expensive in the USA

Average cost of insulin: 🇺🇸 USA: $98.7 🇲🇽 Mexico: $16.5 🇯🇵 Japan: $14.4 🇨🇭 Switzerland: $12.3 🇨🇦 Canada: $12 🇩🇪 Germany: $11 🇮🇹 Italy: $10 🇫🇷 France: $9 🇫🇮 Finland: $9 🇪🇸 Spain: $9 🇦🇹 Austria: $8 🇳🇴 Norway: $8 🇸🇪 Sweden: $8 🇬🇧 UK: $7 🇦🇺 Australia: $7 🇸🇰 Slovakia: $7 🇭🇺 Hungary: $6 🇵🇱 Poland: $5 🇧🇷 Brazil: $2.4 🇹🇷 Turkey: $2 🇮🇳 India: $1.6 According to World Population Review

@menirbhay93 @Morbidful Fantastic. Give him a decoration!!

@derksauer And survive in someone else

@derksauer Impressive and brave. It shows that justice can not be killed, it will allways submerge in somebody!

Mooi:

@MarionKoopmans Mooi artikel hierbij voor de mensen die er serieus wat bij willen leren. 75% van nieuwe ziektes in de laatste 30 jaar zijn zoonosis, komen uit de dierenwereld. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Review of bat survey studies showing how oversampled China is compared to the rest of the world. nature.com/articles/s4156…

@MarionKoopmans Most importantly all three non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) had the biggest impact compared to just one of three.

Really interesting work from China in which strict public health measures were taken to control SARS COV 2 until the abrupt relaxation followed by a massive omicron wave . Shows evidence for contribution of individual measures over time. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@UNICEF Bravo!! Good work!!

Community health workers like Sadiya are helping eradicate polio! Show your appreciation to her and all health workers by replying to this tweet with a 👏.

@RTLnieuws Het is toch absurd dat we nog steeds over plastic wegwerp artikelen praten!! Er zijn genoeg zeer makkelijk afbreekbare biologische producten te vinden rijst, papier, etc. Dat kan met biologisch afval mee. Buiten onze grenzen wordt plastic onverwoestbaar zwerfvuil.

5 cent plastic-heffing op voorverpakte groente, 25 cent voor een beker, 50 cent voor een maaltijd. Sinds 1 juli betaal je voor plastic. Dat is de bedoeling althans. rtlnieuws.nl/nieuws/nederla…

@misslarrydavid_ Hopefully it falls apart from using stereotypes. It could happen with any neurotic person around the world.

The indigenous inhabitants of North Sentinel Island, located in the Indian Ocean and roughly the size of Manhattan, have resided there for an estimated 55,000 years. Presently, the island is home to around 80 to 150 individuals. Regrettably, in November 2018, John Allen Chau, an American man, lost his life when members of the Sentinelese tribe killed him. Additionally, in 2006, two Indian fishermen were killed after their boat, which they had anchored near North Sentinel to rest after engaging in illegal fishing activities in the surrounding waters, broke loose and drifted ashore. It is known that poachers often fish unlawfully in the vicinity of the island, exploiting turtles and engaging in diving activities to procure lobsters and sea cucumbers. The Sentinelese tribe has consistently expressed their desire to avoid any form of contact, which is an understandable choice. Their neighboring tribes were eradicated as a consequence of British colonization, and they lack the immunity necessary to combat common diseases such as the flu or measles, which could prove devastating to their population.

@Prebens @MarionKoopmans @DTUtweet Very usefull additional surveillance tool in polio eradication programs since the nineties. Interpretation of negative results difficult because of sampling methods. With Corona the pooling of large amounts of circulating virus and establish prevalent types. And early warning.

@MarionKoopmans @DTUtweet Yes, at least for 2023, but we are fighting for expansion, including to more pathogens.

Ok, thread on wastewater, flagging paper. We've been interested in exploring wastewater for some time, starting with a collaboration with @DTUtweet where Frank Aarestrup has been pushing this for some years for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37100150/
