How puts on and in processing plants at higher , PBS: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-bird-flu-puts-workers-on-farms-and-in-food-processing-plants-at-higher-risk

workers face disproportionate risk, compared to general population. According to Amy Liebman, chief program officer Migrant Clinicians Network, these workers make up the bulk of the agricultural and food processing industries. They also are more likely to lack affordable access to health care, and may hesitate to report symptoms if it means not working.

With spreading amongst dairy cows, one of the most important things to think about right now is what would need to happen for this virus to actually start a pandemic.
I'm on a train, so a brief thread...

@kakape In 2005, the former WHO influenza chief scientist said that ''an influenza pandemic is inevitable, possibly imminent'', commenting on a peer-reviewed journal editorial the H5N1 situation in Vietnam and elsewhere at that time. Then, these viruses changed and reassorted with rapid pace. H1pdm09 reached us without early warning in animals. Next pandemic will do the same: cows, dogs, pigs, but we're still unprepared.

Probable #extinction of #influenza B/ #Yamagata and its #publichealth #implications: a systematic literature review and assessment of global surveillance databases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38729197/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1fgJURi2yzLesFml6et0Bb6krzs_FrNIYgPYVFN50JPwVNFg9s&fc=None&ff=20240511102357&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414

The likelihood of extinction necessitates a rapid response in terms of reassessing the composition of influenza vaccines, enhanced surveillance for B/Yamagata, and a possible change in the biosafety level when handling B/Yamagata viruses in laboratories.

WHO is deeply concerned that a full-scale military operation in Rafah could lead to a bloodbath. More than 1.2 million people are currently sheltering in the area, many unable to move anywhere else.

#Iceland: an underestimated #hub for the #spread of high-pathogenicity avian #influenza viruses in the North #Atlantic https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38695722/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1LGAx__djGAJ9poBzWGqPtjEbBDtz4ipSRRPUplmgHEyyF_Ihj&fc=None&ff=20240502131703&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414

Based on full #genome #sequences of 26 HPAIV samples from Iceland, which were collected between spring and autumn 2022, as well as 1 sample from the 2023 summer period, we show that 3 different genotypes of HPAIV H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b were circulating within the wild bird population in Iceland in 2022.

CDC found one virus from a cow with a marker known to be associated with reduced susceptibility to the neuraminidase inhibitors (a change at NA-T438I). This change has been seen rarely in the past in H5N1 viruses isolated from wild birds and poultry.

''We report a massive mortality of 5,224 sea lions (Otaria flavescens) in Peru that seemed to be associated with highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection. The transmission pathway may have been through the close contact of sea lions with infected wild birds. We recommend evaluating potential virus transmission among sea lions.''

@benb Obviously, nothing important happened just at the borders with Belarus, where Iskander-M nukes-carrying missiles have been deployed. More weapons, more risks, in addition to the banned cluster bombs + DU-coated shells. Germany's Green Party is rejoycing of the environmental consequences of the war...

    Russiaโ€™s military, police, and National Guard seem to be doing virtually nothing as Prigozhin seizes state buildings. The public too is just standing around

    @ai6yr This is especially ... ehm... funny? If one considers the state of decay of transportation infrastructure in this country! A month ago, one of the wealthiest regions in Europe (Emilia-Romagna) suffered a heavy storm, roads, highways, rail and many bridges were washed away and hardly they will be restored soon. AI!
