Mpox public health emergency and more in our ID research roundup Colder months will soon be upon us and with them often comes a wave of flu and infectious diseases. As people across the globe are invited to schedule their annual flu vaccines, researchers are discussing tactics to curb mass spreading. The main talking point at present? Mpox, which the WHO recently declared a public health emergency of international concern.
Vaccine Manufacturers Invited to Take On Mpox Challenges

Sep 23, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Rob Coker

The WHO continues to monitor the mpox situation – more than two years after declaring it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in July 2022. Whilst Central and West African nations saw an unprecedented spread over this period, global efforts from pharmaceutical industries, as well as national and international health organizations, charities, and NGOs, have managed to stabilize the situation somewhat through vaccination campaigns and public health education measures.
H5N1: A Heightened Zoonotic Threat?

Sep 16, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jessica Allerton

A Nature study reports the spillover of a new highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus clade 2.3.4.4b into dairy cattle, as well as evidence of sustained mammal-to-mammal transmission, for the first time (1). The virus is known for causing widespread death in domestic and wild birds and the findings – in particular, transmission at a non-traditional interface – raise concerns about the pandemic risk for humans.
HIV: Could Cell Therapy Treat the Disease?

Sep 11, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jamie Irvine

According to the WHO, roughly 39,000,000 people are affected by HIV, with an additional 1,300,000 cases reported each year – from which Africa accounts for more than two-thirds of the positive population. Though researchers have succeeded in managing HIV with lifelong adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), there is still no cure.
Prioritizing Global Health

Sep 2, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jessica Allerton

New holistic approaches to infectious disease control aim to guide future research The effects of climate change and disease on human health is undeniable, as reflected in the increased urgency of multidisciplinary research in the area. Building a resilient global health ecosystem capable of withstanding emerging outbreaks is becoming imperative.
What’s Happening in Infectious Disease August 2024?

Aug 28, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jessica Allerton

Catching up with the latest news in ID research As the Olympics come to a close in Paris, we can’t help but lean into the infectious disease news that emerged from the French capital during the event. Not long into the Paris 2024 Olympics, concerns were raised after two triathletes, Belgium’s Claire Michel and Switzerland’s Adrien Briffod, withdrew from competitions due to illness following their swim in the River Seine. Although the exact cause remains unconfirmed, reports suggest E.
Blood-borne Bartonella DNA linked with Psychosis

Aug 20, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jessica Allerton

Bacterial DNA research links psychosis with Bartonella infection Researchers at North Carolina State University discovered that patients diagnosed with psychosis are three times more likely to have Bartonella DNA in their blood, suggesting that vector-borne pathogens play a role in mental illness (1). Bartonella, a group of vector-borne bacteria transmitted by arthropods and animals, has at least 45 different known species – 18 of which have been found to infect humans (2).
The Key to Pandemic Prevention: Building Biodiversity

Aug 6, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jessica Allerton

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have pondered the possibilities of tracking future pandemics and preventing them. Enter Raina K. Plowright and team’s proposed roadmap for preventing the next pandemic. The focus? Protecting biodiversity to protect human health (1). To learn more about this global, multidisciplinary project, we spoke with Manuel Ruiz-Aravena, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture at Mississippi State University, USA.
The Zombie Virus

Jul 30, 2024 | idtransmission.com | Jean-Michel Claverie

Thawing Siberian permafrost suggests that ancient viruses could re-emerge in the near future Over the past decade or so, media outlets have periodically reported on a new global threat linked to global warming: a pandemic initiated by the release of prehistoric viruses by thawing ancient permafrost layers. But is the return of “the zombie virus” as plausible as tabloids have been insinuating?
