This is a fascinating paper in the current edition of @Eurosurveillanc carried out by public health colleagues in @UKHSA It relates to the journey towards a large STEC\VTEC outbreak in the UK in 2022. It’s really relevant to the Irish experience because we have one of the highest rates of STEC in Europe, but we don’t routinely have access to these types of environmental surveillance tools for our investigations. However, the story of this outbreak is reflected in our experience here….that climate change, overfarming and lack of access to mains water outside Dublin are all causing human disease….
Our study investigating the role of climate change, extreme weather events 🌦️, and sheep 💩 on the large 2022 STEC outbreak in the UK now published in @Eurosurveillanc 🧵 (1/15)👇🏻
