doi.org/10.2807/1560-7… New @VB_RADAR publication in @Eurosurveillanc , first detection of WNV RNA in the UK (in Aedes vexans mosquitoes). Big considerations for future biosecurity. Great collaboration with @APHAgovuk @_BTO @UKHSA @ZSLScience #onehealth #zoonoses
doi.org/10.1038/s41598… New @VB_RADAR publication @APHAgovuk, @ZSLScience, @UKHSA, USUV vertical transmission ID'd in wild Culex pipiens larvae - To our knowledge the 1st record of USUV VT in wild mosquitoes. Helps understand persistence in temperate areas! Great collaboration!
biorxiv.org/content/10.110… New preprint up detailing retrospective WNV RNA detection in UK Aedes vexans mosquitoes, as part of the @VB_RADAR project, collaboration between @APHAgovuk @_BTO @ZSLScience and @UKHSA
APHA scientists have identified evidence of #WestNileVirus in UK #mosquitoes for the first time. This important surveillance was carried out with partners as part of the @VB_RADAR project. Find out more: 👇 ukhsa-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/first-det… #APHAscience #VectorBorneDisease
Would you like to study the ecology and spread of mosquito borne viruses on the human-animal interface? Join my research group! We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate to study wnv reservoir hosts, in a multidisciplinary team.#OneHealth academictransfer.com/en/jobs/349156…
🐦⬛Where have the blackbirds gone? London gardens have seen a decline in the songbird due to the mosquito-spread Usutu virus. Hear about our research as part of the @UKRI_News @DefraGovUK funded @VB_RADAR project & how you can help: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fro… @The_RHS #APHAscience
This World Zoonoses Day, read more about how the increasing threat of vector-borne diseases presents new challenges to protecting our biosecurity. aphascience.blog.gov.uk/2024/07/06/tac… #APHAscience #WorldZoonosesDay
It's time to kick off #WildPoshInterviews! 🤩 @poshbee_eu project coordinator Mark Brown takes the stage first and tells us more about his work and the connection between the two projects. 👀 📽️Follow the link to watch the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=6gZ61U…
🐦⬛🦟"#Blackbird numbers plummet in south of #England amid potential spread of #mosquito-borne #Usutu #virus, first detected in UK in 2020" @_BTO @APHAgovuk @ECDC_EU #OneHealth theguardian.com/environment/ar… via @guardian
Usutu is a mosquito-borne virus 1st detected in UK birds in 2020. It spread is by native UK mosquitoes and has been linked to blackbird declines in England. We also want to know if it's in Scotland. Help by - bto.org/our-science/pr… @_BTO @VB_RADAR theguardian.com/environment/ar…
If you have a garden, please sign up for our Blackbirds in Gardens survey! This trend graph shows the worrying decline of Blackbirds in the London area since the mid-1990's. Details on how to sign up for the survey can be found in the post below.

We need your help! Blackbirds are being threatened by the Usutu virus, so we’ve launched a new survey to understand the likely risk factors & how to mitigate them. Sign up to take part ➡️ bto.org/blackbirds-gar… #Springwatch
Great to see @_BTO blackbirds in gardens survey (part of @VB_RADAR led by @HughHanmer and Rob Robinson) featured on @itvnews . If you have a garden and want to help us understand how Usutu virus might be impacting blackbirds please sign up here bto.org/blackbirds-gar…
