34 million years ago, monkeys crossed the Atlantic on rafts of vegetation 🌊🐒 — founding New World monkeys in South America.

Nature’s unpredictability shaped evolution then, just as it shapes ecosystems and emerging diseases today.

🦟 Mosquitoes have reached Iceland — a once mosquito-free nation.
A clear sign of how climate change is reshaping biodiversity and disease risks. (2/2)

Today is #InternationalSnowLeopardDay!
These elusive cats are more than majestic — they’re vital to mountain ecosystems.
Fragile. Elusive. Essential. Let’s celebrate and protect them.

Godzilla isn’t fiction — he’s a metaphor.
When habitats are destroyed, nature pushes back in unexpected ways.

By protecting biodiversity, we’re not fighting nature — we’re working with it. 🌿 (2/2)

Jane Goodall taught us that protecting wildlife protects humans too. Her legacy lives on in BCOMING’s work linking biodiversity and health. (2/2)

Did you know that bats, vultures, birds, and even frogs are quietly protecting our health?

Biodiversity conservation isn’t just about saving nature—it’s a frontline defence against future pandemics.

Ecosystems are like Jenga towers.
Remove too many species, and collapse is inevitable.

That’s why BCOMING studies how biodiversity protects us from emerging diseases. (2/2)

Last week, our partner Pauline Van Leeuwen shared BCOMING–Kasetsart Uni microbiome research at the 8th International Rodent Biology Conference in Australia. 🌏 Proud to see our work on biodiversity & disease risk go global!

Last week marked World Lake Day 🌊

Lakes are vital for biodiversity – they provide habitats, regulate ecosystems, and support life far beyond their shores.

Protecting them means protecting us all. (2/2)

5 million years of loneliness

Microbial life evolves without us, shaping disease in invisible ways.

#BCOMING explores how hidden ecosystems reveal biodiversity’s role in resilience and disease control.

🧬 It’s more than what we see — it’s a molecular archive. (1/2)

Can nature help fight disease?
Biodiversity can both shield us and increase risks.

#BCOMING explores how ecosystems influence disease spread — and why research and monitoring matter for public health.

🧠 Understanding dilution and amplification effects may help prevent future outbreaks.

Que se passe-t-il lorsqu’un virus circule silencieusement pendant des années ? 🦟

Une nouvelle étude révèle la circulation cachée du virus du Nil en Guadeloupe via plus de 4 600 échantillons animaux et un modèle mathématique. Une démonstration puissante de l’approche #OneHealth.

What happens when a virus circulates silently for years? 🦟

New study reveals hidden patterns in West Nile virus circulation in Guadeloupe using 4,600+ animal samples and modelling. A powerful case for data-driven #OneHealth action!
