Great to talk to @ABCRural about #Nipahvirus and risk to Australia. A #OneHealth challenge with livestock, wildlife, human health, social and environmental dimensions.

[Sam Hamilton @hamsam]

@NDhand Well done!

[Robyn Hall @Virologica]

This is terrifying. We were treating multiple tick paralysis cases each week. I recall one Saturday (in general practice) where I think I had 3 come in. Without tick serum I just can't even... 😥

@DrCodehammer @DAFFgov @CSIRO Can't wait to read it! Important work

After his side won the Jack Steele Shield my son won a signed footy jumper. Happiest kid ever. Big thanks @stkildafc and Jack Steele.

Have you heard about the ongoing highly pathogenic #AvianInfluenza outbreak? @CDCgov reported more than 40M poultry have been affected since February.

It was an honour to talk about the work of 54 members of the @apcove family at the conference. Delighted to see interest from other regions in adapting the @apcove model for strengthening animal health workforce in their regions.

What is Prequalification of vaccines (#PQVaccines)? It is a procedure to evaluate the level of assurance that exists that an #FMD vaccine complies with at least the minimum internationally accepted standards of the @WOAH_Global Terrestrial Manual.

Interesting new MERS-related CoV from bats near Moscow w/ Spike sequence similarity to bat- & hedgehog-CoVs. Receptor binding models suggest could bind to both taxa.. Preprint (not yet peer-reviewed). https://t.co/BPHwVh0d81
