Avian influenza in domestic flocks vs avian influenza in wild birds per 100k hunting licenses! Whew, that's a mouthful.

I wanted to see if the concentration of hunting licenses in a state correlated with how many birds with avian influenza were caught by hunters in that state, and if it might correlate with avian influenza in domestic flocks in that state. I don't know if I succeeded, but it's kind of cool to look at.

¡Hola fediverso! Lo sabemos , nos toca hacer una buena #Presentacion
Sí, somos una #Farmacia, pero no una más. Entendemos la salud como algo consciente, como un proceso complejo que tiene muchas variables, y cuanto más sepan nuestros pacientes, mejor podrán prevenir o tratar sus problemas.
Estamos en Jaca, el Pirineo Aragonés especializados en dar un consejo farmacéutico de 10, en nutrición y en #Ortopedia técnica.
No buscamos vender a toda costa, sino ayudar, y eso significa en muchas ocasiones dejar de vender, porque la honestidad va por delante, y en muchas ocasiones hay "dolencias" que no necesitan un producto. Además, sólo trabajamos productos TOP, marcas comprometidas con la investigación, y con el medio ambiente todo lo que se puede. Es como entendemos la salud, como el concepto #OneHealth.
Por aquí compartiremos los materiales que creamos, educando sobre enfermedades, hablando de productos (no como spam y venta dura, sino informando sobre la ciencia detrás, como funcionan, para que casos, etc).
¡Nos encantaría que nos siguieras! Y así poder educar a más gente, difundiendo ciencia y tecnología, así como avances en salud.
Además estamos en más redes, por si quieres vernos por ahí https://social.farmacialacadena.com/ig
PD: hacemos muchos eventos, nos encanta acercarnos a la gente ahí donde estén.

'The current avian influenza #H5N1 situation is concerning, dynamic and evolving. A(H5) viruses, especially those of clade 2.3.4.4b, continue to diversify genetically & spread geographically.'

'Global #OneHealth approach is key.'

working on a manuscript and one of the co-authors suggested submitting it to One Earth as our work aligns with their aims and scope but omg APC of USD 9170 feels EXORBITANT and PROHIBITIVE! Dunno about my collaborators in Denmark and Sweden but APCs like that just remind me that I live in a poor country

I'm more than happy to just publish it on #Zenodo (which is free and #OpenAccess) or another open access repository where we can have some peer-review but the first author is a student who really wants to publish in a journal which is understandable given how #academia works currently smh

if anyone has suggestions for #sustainability and #OneHealth related open access journals that don't have eye-gouging APCs, please share!

What's a good gift for someone going off to start a (disease ecology) Ph.D. program?

New tipping point for the earth:
#pandemics and more precisely #panzootics
Particularly when their cause are ignored.

"Unfortunately, tipping points rarely occur alone. They can influence each other and lead to convergences of complex escalating processes that are difficult to predict. This gives rise to domino effects in which several tipping points trigger or reinforce each other."

Reading this BMC commentary article entitled ‘What should be the place of “humans” in “One Health”? Lessons from COVID-19 for One Health’, I get the impression that the authors have no idea about the issue.

The issue is not whether we should be prepared to sacrifice domestic or wild animals when our health is threatened.

It's the way we use domestic and wild animals for food and entertainment that needs to be questioned.

It doesn't say so in the textbooks, but the only thing that makes the #OneHealth approach new is that Western medicine, in its industrial and hierarchical ‘mould’, has prevented us from including nature as a parameter in medical reasoning. It's just a return to our roots.
Because it seems that the extinction of viruses cannot be industrialised without killing nature - and ourselves.

It's a bit fascinating how nature keeps providing reasons to stop exploiting animals. These reasons are, of course, natural negative feedback loops.

It's very simple.

Farm animals and humans are becoming the largest vertebrate biomass on the planet, as a whole. And the "one health" biosecurity idea is a myth. We're not doing the things that really reduce the risks, such as ending animal farming, natural habitat destruction, "exotic" animal trafficking, and even clamping down on international tourism.

Judith, Buliga, Elichilia, Ray & Ester are #OneHealth grad students in #Tanzania researching tick-borne diseases. They lost their tuition and research funds when the US abruptly cancelled their grant.

A real and enraging consequence of U.S. anti-science campaigns is the loss of programs and people as our government pulls back from vital global health investment.

You can help! #Donate so these promising scientists can finish their last year and graduate. https://gofund.me/c6cb018c

#Dengue
#OneHealth
Since it is trending in Argentina and elsewhere in the world, a simple observation:
"Humans are the main host reservoir for dengue, but a meta-analysis by Gwee et al., considers how different animals may be involved in maintaining the virus in an enzootic cycle [52]. The results of the meta-analysis showed **that dengue virus is present in 10.1% of bats, 34.1% of pigs and 27.3% of non-human primates.**"

Pets, pesticides and polluted rivers

"Fipronil and imidacloprid are widely used in flea treatments, which are typically applied to the back of the pet’s neck once a month.These two chemicals are extremely potent neurotoxic insecticides and it is deeply concerning that they are routinely found on the hands of dog owners through ongoing contact with their pet. Pet owners will also be upset to learn that they are accidentally polluting our rivers by using these products.”

"The insecticides used in the flea products flow down household drains when pet owners wash their hands after applying the treatment. Wastewater from sewage treatment works is a leading source of fipronil and imidacloprid pollution in rivers, with concentrations exceeding safe limits for wildlife."

Imported pests and broad-spectrum pesticide regulation

"A “wildly toxic” chemical used to combat fire ants and the varroa mite in Australia is banned in Europe and harmful to humans – and it is poisoning waterways and killing native fauna, experts warn."

"Australia is “a basket case” in that the chemical regulator answers to the department of agriculture, rather than to the department of health, as in Japan, the US and Europe, said Landos."

"NSW MP Emma Hurst of the Animal Justice party said: “It is time for Australia to catch up to the rest of the world and ban fipronil.”"

I know some of you have already done it:
Do you have an emergency plan?
In case of a natural disaster or an emerging pandemic.

Especially when a State is structurally defaulting.
