#mpox

1 post1 participant0 posts today

For so many people, it's hard to fathom how deadly pathogens can cross from animal hosts to human hosts. I think it's important to point out cases of #zoonosis where sturdy work has been done to show potential links from a likely reservoir. This is even more important since our last pandemic. If the wider public saw more examples of zoonoses, then perhaps this major source of emerging human pathogens would not continue to be enigmatic to the lay public.

Researchers have been trying for a long time to nail down where in nature #mpox lurks.
Now they appear to have caught the virus that causes mpox in the act of spilling over from squirrels to monkeys.
“This study is a landmark contribution to understanding mpox dynamics and guiding proactive prevention efforts across Africa and beyond”, says biologist Yap Boum.

🦠 While #Mpox infections in Germany have fallen, further outbreaks continue to emerge around the world. A #CharitéBerlin study has now provided new data on the vaccine’s effectiveness: a single dose provides good protection, at least for a short time – but not for people living with HIV. Researchers recommend that people in all at-risk groups receive their second vaccine dose. 💉 💉

🦠 Das #Mpox-Infektionsgeschehen ist in Deutschland gesunken, weltweit gibt es aber weiter Ausbrüche. Eine #CharitéBerlin-Studie liefert nun neue Daten zur Wirksamkeit der Impfung: Bereits eine Dosis wirkt zumindest kurzfristig gut – allerdings nicht bei Menschen mit HIV. Die Forschenden empfehlen allen Risikogruppen, sich auch die zweite Impfdosis verabreichen zu lassen. 💉 💉
