''These viruses are rapidly accruing #mutations, including mutations of #concern, that warrant further examination and highlight an urgent need for active local #surveillance to manage #outbreaks and limit #spillover into other species, including #humans.''

Global health organizations & governments have long focused on RESPONDING TO DISEASE OUTBREAKS rather than PREDICTING & PREVENTING them

How We Used Machine Learning to Investigate Where #Ebola May Strike

ProPublica spent months teaching a computer to analyze past Ebola #outbreaks linked to #deforestation.
What we found reveals a weakness in the way that governments and #PublicHealth experts are preparing for future #pandemics.

Zoonotic diseases--those that spread from animals to humans--account for roughly 60% of all known infectious diseases & 75% of new & emerging ones

"...since there is no scientific concept behind the “spillover”, it might be dangerous to base public health and public protection against future pandemics on it."
This is not just a rant on semantics. Science communication must be precise, now more than ever. 1/2

PREPRINT (not yet peer reviewed): “SARS-CoV-2 occurrence in white-tailed #deer throughout their range in the conterminous #USA”
#Researchers collected >11k samples from deer 🦌 in 29 states 🇺🇸. #COVID was almost everywhere.
COVID prevalence declined over the course of the study, coincident with the rise of #Omicron, and the authors #hypothesize deer may be less susceptible.
With #diverse #hosts, COVID will continue to present a #complex #spillover #control #challenge.
