Practical Suggestions for Assessing Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 Risk to Endangered Native Lagomorphs in North America and Southern Africa ✍ by Brian Cooke 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d57igtB8

Everyone's talking about #KissingBugs: CNN, The New York Times, Newsweek and more. What's creating all the buzz? Last month #UFEPI member Dr. Norman Beatty published a perspective piece in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal that discusses how Chagas disease is endemic in the United States. Beatty collaborated with researchers from Texas A&M University, University of California, Berkeley and Texas Department of State Health Services to help map the spread of the insect that carries the disease-causing parasite and the impact of human Chagas disease in the U.S. Dive into what they have discovered: https://lnkd.in/e9HWcGsD.

#Connecticut scientists collect and test hundreds of thousands of #mosquitoes each year to track West Nile virus. From field traps to lab analysis, researchers identify female mosquitoes, prepare test samples, and detect infections that inform public health officials about seasonal risks across the state.

Our research at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health: Patients with ME/CFS show an overactive innate immune system, mounting stronger responses to bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This prolonged activation may fuel the fatigue and inflammation at the heart of the disease. 📰 Read more in the press release: https://lnkd.in/euABzzMn #MECFS, #CUIMC, Center for Infection and Immunity, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health

The Disease Triangle 🌱 Plant diseases don’t just happen by chance — they 0ccur when three key factors interact: 📌 Host – a susceptible plant 📌 Pathogen – a disease-causing 0rganism 📌 Environment – favorable conditions for infection If 0ne side of the triangle is missing, disease cannot develop. Managing plant health means breaking this triangle — by using resistant varieties, controlling pathogens, 0r modifying the environment.
