I enjoyed talking about avian flu surveillance by @ivi_switzerland and in switzerland generally at the ‚Swiss Flu 2024‘ meeting. Silke Stertz, @BenHalePhD and Mirko Schmolke brought together an amazingly diverse bunch of specialists on everything #influenza

Very informative exchange on #avianflu #birdflu in europe and beyond at the european reflab meeting in parma! Switzerland was relatively lucky so far but we need to stay allert - there is more to come…

I really hope that this doesn‘t encourage people to kill bats. These cases are extremely rare and occured in switzerland so far mainly in relatively rare bat species. Just leave them alone and you‘re fine!

[Claudia Melanie Bachofen @CMBachofen]

A busy day at work today! We have diagnosed a rare case of bat rabies (european bat lyssavirus) at the swiss rabies center ⁦@ivi_switzerland⁩ . Further genotyping is ongoing. https://t.co/twXJfgCoSw

This breeding colony of blackheaded gulls and terns is hopefully free of avian influenza. Environmental samples collected last week are beeing analysed now in our diagnostic lab @ivi_switzerland

@PrecipiceNewton @leavesnbloom @nibirds @RSPBNI @daera_ni @PatchBirding @IRSBG1 As far as we’ve been informed from experts in germany and netherlands, removing dead birds was shown to be important to prevent/limit spread in breeding colonies and transmission to other bird/mammal species.

Great exchange on all topics concerning #Tiersechendiagnostik and informative presentations by the experts from the #friedrichloefflerinstitute at the #riemserdiagnostktage in #greifswald . Looking forward to next year!

Die Riemser Diagnostiktage bringen seit 2003 ihre Teilnehmenden auf den neuesten Stand in der #Tierseuchendiagnostik und etablierten sich als Plattform für den fachlichen #Austausch. Heute geht es weiter mit #Vorträgen und #Diskussionen. Hier ein paar Eindrücke von gestern!
