Excited to see the Enable 1.0 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... study on #LassaFever published in @lancetgh.bsky.social.

A massive effort enrolling 20,000+ participants across 4 countries. Yet, despite 2.5 year follow-up, just 39 symptomatic cases detected.

Really excited to see this peer-reviewed and published and published in epidemiology and infection. This work was motivated by the observation that we do not see #LassaFever outbreaks in sense West African cities despite high predicted biological hazard.

Our lab website is updated with a new postdoc opening! This is a 2-year, in-person position looking at the relationships between climate change, pandemic risk, and policy choices over the 21st century. Please reach out (not on here)! www.carlsonlab.bio/join

📝 LSHTM & @ukhsa.bsky.social have renewed & expanded #UKPHRST academic partnership.

🤝LSHTM will lead a consortium from UK & 6 countries across Africa & SE Asia to co-produce research to protect global health security.

​Delighted to support @ricardoriveroh.bsky.social and team on this fantastic preprint. By integrating the macroecological findings from ArHa, he demonstrates that spatial overlap alone is insufficient for effective reassortment. Lineage-specific molecular permissiveness acts as the ultimate filter.

We're very happy that our study found a home in the EcoHealth journal and we hope the disease ecology community, in particular, find applications of our model!

New #ecology preprint out. We’ve spent half a century searching for Arenavirus and Hantavirus reservoirs, but it turns out global surveillance is essentially just us looking under the nearest streetlight. It is decoupled from actual host biodiversity.🧵 doi.org/10.64898/202...

After a couple of failed applications, I am very excited that one panned out. I will be starting my first independently funded fellowship in September! My project will be hosted at the @animecol-uu.bsky.social Uppsala University

🚨 We're about to start reviewing applications, but there's still time to reach out for our postdoc position on climate change impact attribution! If you have experience with attribution science or climate epidemiology, and want to help us launch the Global Burden of Climate Change Study, reach out!

NEW! 🎉 We need wildlife disease surveillance to predict epidemics, but data sharing is rare - we found that only 2-3% of studies share raw data. So, we spent three years developing a data standard and R package to help get wildlife disease data into FAIR repositories. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣 We’re hiring! 2-yr postdoc at Smithsonian’s NZCBI on an NSF-funded project with partners incl. Glasgow, RVC, Uganda MOH, Cary Institute. Focus: land use change, rodent movement, human-rodent contact, modeling disease risk, w/ plenty of fieldwork in Uganda. Details: tinyurl.com/SINSFR

Are any #Russian speakers are able to assist with this. Translation is from Google Translate does the original Russian state the species name or are they describing them similarly?

🚨😷🧪 NEW: A growing body of evidence shows that pandemics, biodiversity loss, and climate change are part of a broader polycrisis - but there are no simple solutions. A sweeping overview of "Pathogens and planetary change" for the first issue of @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social, out now 🔓 rdcu.be/d6lHl
