Como científico especializado en virus de Sudáfrica, he estado observando con pavor la propagación de la gripe aviar H5N1 entre los animales de Estados Unidos. El patógeno supone una grave amenaza pandémica y se ha detectado en más de 500 rebaños lecheros de 15 estados, lo que probablemente sea un recuento insuficiente.

As a virus scientist in South Africa, I've been watching with dread as H5N1 bird flu spreads among animals in the United States. The pathogen poses a serious pandemic threat and has been detected in over 500 dairy herds in 15 states - which is probably an undercount. And yet, the U.S. response appears inadequate and slow, with too few genomic sequences of H5N1 cases in farm animals made publicly available for scientific review.

The first era of genomics started with the publication of Watson and Crick’s notable work on the description of the DNA double helix in 1953. This era lasted 50 years, until the publication of the human genome in April 2003. The second era is associated with the period between the completion of the human genome and the present day.

The World Health Organization framework for tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants has been updated to reflect the continued evolution of the virus; this framework could be adapted for other emerging respiratory diseases with epidemic and pandemic potential.

Climate change is our planet's most immediate existential threat, and will likely only worsen for the foreseeable future. Among its numerous adverse effects on human health, there is strong evidence linking climate change to infectious disease outbreaks. A recent analysis revealed that of 375 infectious diseases affecting human beings, 218 (58%) can be aggravated by climatic hazards. It is no longer a question of "if", but "when" an epidemic will be triggered or amplified by climate events.
