The US quietly terminates a controversial $125m wildlife virus hunting program amid safety fears
A flagship project for the controversial practice of hunting viruses among wildlife in South East Asia, Africa, and Latin America to prevent human outbreaks and pandemics is being quietly dropped by the United States Agency for International Development after private and bipartisan criticism over the safety of such research.

#Bats are natural hosts for #viruses that cause higher case fatality rates in humans than do #zoonoses derived from any other source. @caraebrook @bootslab &co build a nested within-host, population-level model to explain this phenomenon #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/44Dri3y

1/ “Investigation into the risk to human health of avian influenza (influenza A H5N1) in England: technical briefing 5”
Thread on a technical briefing by UKHSA released on 14 July 2023.
Much of the data reported in the technical briefing is as of 04 July 2023 to allow time for analysis.

NBAF -- the upgraded version of Plum Island -- opened in Manhattan, KS this week.
“I don’t understand why you’d put a facility like that in the middle of a highly productive cattle and crops area,”
(I didn't get it either when the location was selected, and I was a biological weapons analyst at the time. Bad judgment.)
The decision to put NBAF “in the middle of livestock country and tornado alley was real hubris”

A strong opinion piece arguing against a lab origin for the #SARS-CoV-2 .
The authors provide quite an extensive review of the arguments in the discussion.
I agree that we should focus efforts on studying #zoonoses if we want to prevent further pandemics.

Résumons : la grippe aviaire H5N1 en Sud-Ouest (Landes, Gers, Pyrénées Atlantique débouchant sur des abattages préventifs de centaines de milliers de canards), la brucellose en Haute-Savoie sur les vaches à Reblochon, et maintenant, la grippe porcine H1N1 en Bretagne ; les concentrations d'animaux d'élevages favorisent les pestes. Mais pas touche à l'élevage, ce mauvais tournant pris au Néolithique. #Zoonoses
En 2022, tirons les leçons des controverses sur les origines du SARS-Cov-2

➡️En 2022 comme à plus long terme, prendre en compte l'état de l'environnement doit rester une problématique majeure des politiques de santé publique.
