@AHEMproject organise un cours de #préparation à l'urgence #peste porcine africaine (PPA) pour préparer le personnel vétérinaire et les inspecteurs qui pourraient être impliqués dans la prévention, l'enquête, le diagnostic et la réponse à une épidémie de peste porcine africaine.

"There is a risk that the virus could become endemic in the Americas, presenting challenges for managing continuing risks to poultry and wildlife in Canada, and increasing the potential for spillover to humans."

@QuinnRausch @CahssCanada You were awesome @QuinnRausch, great presentation and very surprising how many breeders are feeding young puppies raw meat and unpasteurized milk.

Avian influenza H5n1 on five (!!) fur farms in Finland. Apparently no control measures except “ people need to be carefull”. Astounding. We do not learn from the past. GUESS WHAT: passaging wildly may generate mammalian adapted h5n1. Not good…. https://t.co/AhFCo60ZTt

@weese_scott Looks like some of it might be related to feeding raw meat to cats. In this report two of the cats were indoor only. https://t.co/RUIgVYUxEF

A few more thoughts about the report of a possible outbreak of H5N1 avian flu in cats.

Big questions:
- Were these actually H5N1 ?
- Was this one event (e.g. a bunch of cats exposed to the same source) or multiple spillovers?
