I’m excited, honored and humbled to announce that I’m joining @ceri-news.bsky.social led by the fantastic @tuliodna.bsky.social. I’ll be leading a One Health research program ceri.org.za/news/?token=.... I’m looking forward to working closely with the many incredibly talented researchers at CERI!

This is very interesting. Could you share the whole presentation please? Thanks!

One of my favorite movie of all time!

CholeraSeq: a comprehensive genomic pipeline for cholera surveillance and near real-time outbreak investigation AbstractSummary. Motivation: Next Generation Sequencing is widely deployed in cholera-endemic regions, yet an end-to-end reproducible pipeline that unifies

Very proud of our team publishing CholeraSeq: a comprehensive genomic pipeline for cholera surveillance and near real-time outbreak investigation that will help researchers in LMIC settings to speed up their cholera genomic analyses academic.oup.com/bioinformati... @ceri-news.bsky.social

Viral diversity and zoonotic risk in endangered species A growing body of evidence links zoonotic disease risk, including pandemic threats, to biodiversity loss and other upstream anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem health. However, there is little current...

NEW! 🦠🦧 We revisited a perplexing paradox: do wildlife really pose less of a risk to human health as they become more endangered? Turns out, it's sampling bias all the way down: conservation risks correlate with disease surveillance blindspots. 🔓 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Norway’s proposal to double krill harvests raises tension at Antarctic conservation summit Norway proposed almost doubling the catch limit for krill in the Southern Ocean during the annual conference of the intergovernmental body that manages Antarctic fisheries taking place Oct. 20-31,…

Norway has proposed almost doubling the catch limit for krill in the Southern Ocean, a proposal that exacerbated tensions at the annual meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources in Australia, since the continent’s wildlife depend on krill for sustenance.

Vaccine-Preventable Disease: A Global Tracker | Think Global Health This map is updated weekly and visualizes outbreaks of nine childhood diseases in collaboration with the International Society for Infectious Diseases

I'd love to say lots of nice things about this invaluable preventable disease tracker from @monscience.bsky.social and team at Think Global Health. It's an incredible resource.

But I can't get over my anger & sadness that this resource is even needed.

Silent book club at @thelynxbooks.bsky.social reading one of my favorite books

Just under 6 weeks until the metagenomic virus discovery workshop kicks off in Stellenbosch, South Africa. We're excited to be bringing together a fantastic group of speakers and teachers with expertise in all aspects of virus discovery from around the world.

Thrilled to share our new paper where we sequenced 20 new #dengue virus genomes from #SaudiArabia, revealing the country as a major hub for DENV introductions from Asia & Africa and subsequent spread. 🦟🔬
