Active surveillance at human-animal interfaces remains the single most important thing we can do to catch spillovers early, imo.

A few thoughts on the role of pigs in the emergence of influenza A virus in mammals. 1. It is simply not the case that movement of flu viruses into non-swine mammal species requires pigs as a "mixing vessel".
A big win, go figure. But I do genuinely appreciate someone skeptical of our work being so forthright about the results on this analysis.

Nine beavers were found dead over the last few weeks in Summit, Wasatch and Utah counties. Three were tested and found to be positive for a disease called tularemia, which can also affect humans. Learn more: bit.ly/3TRBPEM
Your daily reminder that viruses are material objects without plans or goals (other than to replicate) and certainly without thoughts or maliciousness. Read more about it here: wwnorton.com/books/virology

Thanks to generous funding from the NIH/NHGRI, we will be sequencing the 4th generation of the CEPH/Utah pedigrees starting this year!

I normally sit this topic out, but I want to amplify this thread. This modeling is very similar to what I was doing in Jan and Feb 2020, and it’s how I knew then that the story of an outbreak starting from the market in Wuhan was consistent with everything we knew then and after.

Interesting thread (being written right now) that independently investigates the scenarios explored in Pekar22, using simulation code he wrote in-house + sampling under models that differ from what we used, but getting similar results

Pekar's simulations said that happens 3% of the time from a single introduction. My code said it was also about 3%. Those double lineage epidemics can be drawn like this:
Alta’s Mt. Superior cam shows nothing at all which means it must be absolutely hammering.
@jmol3rd @RicketRobin @mikeydoubled We ignore that threat at our peril. Wildlife farming, trade, and trafficking are huge business ($70 billion a year in China before Covid. . Pangolins are the most trafficked animal in the world, but not in trucks labeled "Pangolin": jammed in lorries with other stressed animals
Remember that cryptic lineage from New Jersey with all the Spike mutations? The Spike has a pretty dramatic phenotype when you transfect it. And these are cells with little to no ACE2 or TMPRSS2.
The Lab Leak Hypothesis™ isn't coherent or self-consistent enough to be described as a conspiracy theory. It's not one hypothesis, or one theory. It's a flexible collection of (often mutually incompatible) explanations that share support for a lab leak. 1/2🧵
4 yrs ago JHU brought in a security firm run by former FBI agents to analyze threats I received. Messages from one of these men rose to the top of their concern list. They weren't even about labs! I'm disheartened that this pattern of abusive behavior has continued w/o penalty.

A really important thread on the #H5N1 #birdflu outbreak in cows. Well worth a read.
Very important to note here that qPCR positives are not the same as "virus particles." It's much easier to detect viral RNA by qPCR than it is to detect infectious virus or intact virus particles (as the article correctly notes). This finding does have some big implications:

@matthewherper @SaskiaPopescu They are not. He’s made a fake collage of men he dislikes and is using it to attack women he disagrees with and also dislikes.

@zeynep @GYamey @AtomsksSanakan @ban_epp_gofroc @MartinWBastard @ggronvall I’m honestly a bit hung up on “cannot be ruled out” as a standard? Like… very little can be ruled out in science! Especially bioscience where everything is stochastic and contextual. Is there more evidence that’s emerged suggesting it’s plausible?
@zeynep @GYamey @AtomsksSanakan @ban_epp_gofroc @MartinWBastard @ggronvall Sure it’s possible! But practically we have a fair bit of support for “not man made” and I’ve yet to see anything for “man made” except that there was in fact a viral research lab in wuhan?
They put the same comment on every slide I made that had anything to do with dates. As far as Rootclaim is concerned, it simply does not matter when covid started, they're sure that it's still a lab leak no matter when it happened.
Congratulations to @Rasmussen_Lab graduate student Marin Habbick, who won the @usask 3MT competition today presenting her work investigating how sex impacts host responses to emerging coronaviruses! 🏆🏆🏆
Feeding poultry litter (=chicken shit) to diary cows does not sound like a very good idea in times of high #H5N1 circulation (also besides the infections risk, it's disgusting). I sound like a broken record: The way we interact with our fellow species is NOT healthy
“Poultry litter” as a potential source of infection of dairy cows in the USA with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 cannot be ruled out. In the USA , it is permitted to feed ground-up chicken waste to cattle. #vogelgriep telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
A case in point. @JamieMetzl did you read it and if so can you explain the difference btw tMRCA and time of emergence in humans? Because they clearly aren’t the same thing.
Another day, another paper that equates the time of an MRCA to the time of emergence in humans. All very tiresome, as is the gushing of the lab leak illiterati who think it is profound and says something useful.
