Surveys of wild pigs in #Florida show that they are commonly infested with #ticks which host human #pathogens. Tick species, landscape pattern, tick-borne diseases involved and the public health implications analysed/discussed by Sarah E. Mays Maestas and others. Article in the journal Insects (2023, vol. 14, issue 7, art. 612) - https://doi.org/10.3390/insects14070612

There may be 4x more people affected with red #meat #allergies due to bites from #lone #star #ticks than previously thought.

Quote: "Longer #summers, rising #temperatures and the expanding #ranges of tick species such as the lone star tick are leading to an increased chance of human exposure to #pathogens over a larger geographic area..."

Plants produce a high diversity of secondary metabolites against #plant #pathogens and #pests. Overview of the major pathogen defence-associated classes of secondary metabolites, with a focus on those with direct anti-pathogen function, as well as a review of how new technological advances can accelerate research on these compounds - article in the journal Phytopathology (2023, vol. 113, issue 5, pp. 760-770) by Lina Muñoz-Hoyos and Remco Stam - https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-11-22-0415-FI

Come and work with me! Hiring a post-doc to support analysis and modelling project on #pathogens and #wastewater surveillance in low resource settings very collaborative project

#wbe EPH-IDE-2023-12 Research Fellow - Jobs at LSHTM

Brainstorming in my old office with @NA_pichon, Thu Zar, Tianyun and Eric. It is always nice to be back, exciting to talk science with the smart PhD students and lots of fun drawing crazy structural equation models to the white board. We are working on some great stories about how #nitrogen, #plant #community #composition and time affect the little critter on the plants and in the soil.

If we increase and intensify human-animal contacts, we will increase the risk of the formation of novel human #Pathogens.

Overuse of #antimicrobial #drugs, which is a particular problem in #livestock #agriculture, leads to #evolution of #antibiotic resistance in #human #pathogens. Excretion, improper #disposal, or #runoff from #farms can also disrupt microbial #biodiversity and have knock-on effects on other #organisms.

This new study estimates current annual #agricultural antimicrobial usage at ~99500 tonnes in 2020, increasing to ~107000 tonnes in 2030.

This is a #dangerous #trend.

the global back to normal move w/o lesson learned about humans #airborne #pathogens will bite us

urge of normalcy w/o
sewage monitoring,
CO2 sensoring,
high filtration masks indoors,
#airfiltration,
calibrated LFT testing,
awareness,
surveillance,
vigilance,
source control

is like Amok
drive fulldrunken into mass

#wastewater #surveillance an emerging tool in the monitoring, preventing, and combatting of #infectiousdisease outbreaks. #pathogens

#Bumblebees are vital #pollinators facing threats from internal symbionts (virus, bacteria, etc.). Efforts are needed to control these #pathogens to ensure the success of commercial bumblebee #pollination and protect wild populations. #ReviewPapers #Bees

📢 Have you ever wondered whether #pathogens can shape the #evolution of #social life in #insects? Yes? Great, we are opening a #PhDposition to address this question!

If you are interested in #behavioural ecology, #socialimmunity and #socialnetworks (and #earwigs, of course), then this PhD position is for you! 👏

📆 Application deadline: 27 March 2023.

@RKI

#respiratory #pathogens can be limited by respiratory mitigation measures

#communication about #airborne #transmission #prevention would safe many lifes and would reduce stress on #medical staff

we NEED HIGH FILTRATION MASKING INDOORS, AIRFILTRATION, AIR HYGIENE GUIDANCE, not only recommendations!

its YOUR JOB!

belated into post

Extremely curious and extremely easily distracted,

Dropped out of a #PhD on the #evolution of #lung #pathogens somewhere in the latter half of the 2010s (is ambiguous when)

#English speaker trying to learn an unfeasible number of #Languages including #German #Russian #Hindi #Farsi #Arabic and too many others to make any progress on, but I'm having fun trying.

Happy to share this: our accepted paper is now online in New Phytologist!

Here's the link: https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.18689

I'll post a brief thread with the main findings once the final version is published 🌱

Syndemic driven by #sars2

Sars2. The only way out of the woods is stopping #transmission. But the world have decided to stay in the woods of disease, and there is a wildfire inferno of pathogens encroaching us.
The Great #Death period is about to start.

Sars2 is fueling the flames of #disease, weakening the herd, and opening the #gates
to a myriad of #opportunistic #pathogens.

📝The development of field-ready #qPCR assays for the #monitoring and detection of 3 #aquatic #pathogens, comparing 2 different drying methods. Combine with portable qPCR machines or lateral flow strips for on-site detection. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mimet.2022.106594

Evidence that #SARSCoV2 can remain infective on food for quite a while. It would be helpful to know this also for other #Viruses and #pathogens. Washing your hands and your food is a good idea. #COVID19

Great news: My first #PhD chapter has been accepted in a journal I very much like! 🎉

More info soon about how #nitrogen enrichment and foliar fungal #pathogens shape plant multispecies #coexistence in the #PaNDiv experiment.
