Die WHO hat diese Woche einen Pandemievertrag beschlossen, der in der Zukunft eine Grundlage für eine organisierte und internationale Reaktion auf eine neue Pandemie darstellen soll. 👏 Dazu gehört z.B. eine faire Verteilung von Impfstoffen, Therapeutika und Diagnostika in der Weltgemeinschaft.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is transmitted by specific ticks. Present only south of 50’ latitude so far, global warming could make it move north. Within the German center for infection research (DZIF), @crnlsrhd.bsky.social at Marburg University develops vaccines against this virus.

1. #Ebola: There is a new outbreak, Ebola Sudan, in Uganda. The current index case (who probably isn't the index case) died yesterday. The person was a nurse who sought care in multiple hospitals before dying. Ebola was only determined post mortem.
Possibility of additional cases high.

Influenza A Viren werden anhand ihrer 2 Oberflächenproteine - Hämagglutinin, Neuraminidase - in verschiedene Subtypen, wie beispielsweise H5N1 unterschieden. Dieser Subtyp stammt ursprünglich von Wasservögeln, hat aber die Möglichkeit sich an andere Vögel, Säugetiere & uns Menschen anzupassen

Im September/Oktober hat ein Ausbruch des #Marburg-Virus in Ruanda Aufsehen erregt. Untersuchungen des Virus-Erbgutes in Ruanda zeigten, dass am Beginn eine einzige Übertragung von Tier zu Mensch erfolgt ist – wahrscheinlich von einer Fledermausart, die bekanntermaßen das Virus in sich trägt. (1/2)
