Our study at @TheLancetInfDis demonstrated that 2023-24 Oropouche virus reassortant have increased virulence, fitness, and the ability to evade previous immunity generated by the previous Oropouche virus infection! 🦟🦠🇧🇷

https://t.co/KSC0FusPe5 Important to read interviews with mpox-experienced healthcare workers, like this one with Dr Ngadjole, who is responding to mpox outbreaks in DRC & observing who is affected, how mpox is spreading, & how transmission can be stopped. More resources needed.

Mpox recently was detected in Burundi. This article describes some key challenges. It also is refreshing that Burundi is open about the problem, unlike some other countries. Hiding or suppressing information is a poor strategy when dealing with outbreaks. https://t.co/9uNAmPcMWR

Important to understand: is this what you see when looking more systematically at humans in contact with infected cows, or is there something particular about the viruses on this farm

[Tulio de Oliveira @Tuliodna]

By being in the scientific manuscript of the new Mpox Ib clade in the DRC, I found this piece at the Telegraph very inconsistent with the scientific results presented. This kind of news can spread misinformation, panic and increase discrimination. 🧵 https://t.co/0CaUSb9sUr

Intresting short article in @NatureMedicine discussing the decline in clinical academics in the UK and US. Another issue, not discussed, is the failure to recognise all the components of the job equally, clinical/research/teaching. The interests of Universities and the NHS are not the same and clinical academics suffer as a result. @StephenORahilly

[Jakob Stokholm @stokholm_jakob]

So exited to share our newest paper in @NatureMedicine, where we link early life gut virome with later asthma.

Specific compositions of temperate phages drive the association independently from their bacterial counterpart and interacts with host genetics.
