1/ ๐ Pathoplexus now supports the Andes variant of Hantavirus (ANDV).
ANDV is the variant identified in the recent MV Hondius cases, & the Hantavirus variant previously identified as having occasional human-to-human transmission.

Week 2 of our Stakeholder Strategy Meetings comes to a close following four days of collaboration and technical discussions focused on strengthening metadata approaches for meningitis and sepsis.
Thank you to everyone who contributed throughout the week.
#PHA4GE
A full first day for Week 2, with wide-ranging discussions to refine and align key parts of the metadata standard.
Detailed, collaborative work like this helps build clearer, more usable data systems for public health.
#PHA4GE
Week 2 of our Stakeholder Strategy Meetings is underway, focusing on meningitis and sepsis metadata.
Todayโs sessions begin with refining key structures and updates to strengthen clarity, consistency and usability.
#PHA4GE
Bringing Week 1 to a close โ with a focus on next steps, collaboration and what comes next. ๐
These discussions help strengthen how data is structured and used in public health.
Because stronger data systems donโt just improve understanding โ they improve response.

Week 1 our Stakeholder Strategy Meetings begins today, focused on cholera and malaria metadata priorities.
Prof @alangchris welcomed participants, highlighting the value of organised data for public health decision-making.

What does it take to better understand and respond to TB?
Our #WorldTBDay series explores how genomics and bioinformatics support tracking, understanding and responding to TB.
๐ฅ Watch the full video: https://t.co/v09ZsBQAVo
Genomic technologies are transforming how we understand diseases like TB.
From detecting drug resistance to tracking transmission, genomics and bioinformatics are strengthening public health surveillance worldwide.
Part of our PHA4GE #WorldTBDay series.
As we approach #WorldTBDay, weโre exploring how genomics and bioinformatics support the surveillance and response to diseases like TB.
Follow along as we highlight how these tools help strengthen modern public health systems.
