In a landmark public health achievement, Papua New Guinea has been validated by WHO for eliminating #trachoma as a public health problem. Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease & the worldβs leading infectious cause of blindness, no longer poses a public health threat in the country.

Researchers took a close look at how extreme weather events like heat waves, cold snaps, heavy rainfall & droughts impact phenological processes, specifically the flight period of butterflies & moths and the flowering time of plants across the U.S. Story:

In Nature Climate Change @natclimchange.bsky.social, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology, as individuals respond to immediate environmental cues such as EWES, likely more rapidly so than to gradual climate change. rdcu.be/eaLMu
Pushing fwd on some sci - new preprint led by @amelybauer.bsky.social! Vector competence + host use matters for VBD transmission hazard, and her new index is a handy way to provide insights across disease systems.π¦π¦ #UFBugs #IFAS #FMEL #diseaseecology www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...
