Daniela Martinelli from Columbia studied the effects of iron on the growth of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis from zoo outbreaks and found that the bacterium evolved to possibly decrease virulence over the course of one outbreak. Thanks to the University of Surrey for their role!

[ZSL @OfficialZSL]

Over the span of just 6 weeks, three sharks appeared in UK and Irish waters that had never before been seen this far north
ZSL’s @DavidCurnick spoke with @mel_pud for @thetimes about unravelling the mystery of why they ventured into new waters

@RCPath @OfficialZSL I'm proud of the role ZSL has performed in this international effort but thank you to all of the many people and organisations who have contributed to saving the Partula!

In the early hours of July 16th, a pod of 55 long-finned pilot whales came ashore at Tolsta Beach on the Isle of Lewis. This short film shows a glimpse into some of the work undertaken by SMASS and colleagues following this mass stranding event.
