One of the things I became aware of in #COVID19 was how #wastewater #surveillance can be such a useful #publichealth tool to monitor emergence and activity of infections in the community.
Great article on this 👇

I just had the first shot of the live attenuated #Jynneos vaccine against #mpox and #smallpox.
Although the Swedish government only wants to offer it to homosexual men and people in prostitution, it appears to be de facto generally available. I got it no questions asked except for allergies and such.

What is the neurotropism of #Mpox virus (MPXV)?
How does MPXV affect the brain?
In work led by the talented @LisaBauerVirus (@DebbyvanRiel lab) and @StefiGiu9, we identify a differential susceptibility to MPXV infection of human brain cells

''During the 2022 #global #outbreak, #mpox in #Nigeria was more severe among those with advanced #HIV disease and concomitant #varicella zoster virus infection. Proactive #screening, management of co-infections, the integration and strengthening of mpox and HIV surveillance, and preventive and treatment services should be prioritised in Nigeria and across Africa.''

#China is suddenly dealing with another public health crisis: #mpox (formerly known as #monkeypox)
While the scale is vastly differently than #covid, government is already repeating some of the same mistakes.Mpox is less contagious than covid, but since 2022, more than 88,000 people have contracted the disease, which can be painful and even debilitating for some. More than 150 people have died. Mpox has been endemic in West and Central #Africa for decades and remains so. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/08/01/1077047/china-public-health-crisis-mpox-outbreak/

Letting Mpox spread, anywhere, means we're risking breakthrough into a wider population. This is a disease with significant pandemic potential and it won't necessarily remain primarily an STD. https://www.thestatesman.com/lifestyle/health/5236-suspected-mpox-cases-reported-in-dr-congo-229-deaths-who-1503200772.html #mpox #std #virus #PublicHealth
