New report of H7N9 avian influenza in camels. Other than humans (2013-2017), H7N9 has never caused mammalian infections (that we know of). The virus had mammalian adaptations (e.g. PB2 mutation), higher SA-α2 binding and mammalian cell replication.

Aaaand I am still researching the renaissance history of chemical and biological weapons (1450 - 1700ish). Covering early experiments with toxic shells, fears around poison arrows in the Americas - and whatever else gets turned up

I had also missed this example of tear gas use labeled March 6th, Nova Kakhova.

Considering some of the unit types present, has and will likely be more widespread
