Health labs today got an "urgent" notice from @CDCgov One lot of agency's Influenza A/H5 Subtyping Kit discovered to have a faulty component Labs urged to halt use of component when testing suspect bird flu cases, over risk of "inconclusive results" tinalexander.github.io/notes/attachme…
Health labs today got an "urgent" notice from @CDCgov One lot of agency's Influenza A/H5 Subtyping Kit discovered to have a faulty component Labs urged to halt use of component when testing suspect bird flu cases, over risk of "inconclusive results" tinalexander.github.io/notes/attachme… https://t.co/daMAjBg9Gg
.@CDCgov expands its recommendations to safeguard workers exposed the dairy cows that might be infected with #H5N1 #birdflu to include workers in slaughterhouses. Among other things, they need to be careful how they handle udders. cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/h…
.@USDA's new rules about shipping lactating dairy cows across state lines to stop spread of #H5N1 #birdflu go into effect Monday. But they're more limited than initially revealed & there are concerns about how effective they will be, @MeganMolteni reports. statnews.com/2024/04/26/h5n…
.@US_FDA has more evidence pasteurization kills #H5N1 #birdflu virus in milk, saying it was unable to grow virus from some PCR-positive samples. Doesn't say how many samples it's tried yet, though. Testing infant formula did not show evidence of H5. fda.gov/food/alerts-ad…
.@CDCgov reports that the number of #measles cases in the US so far this year has reached 128, up 3 from last week. Two new jurisdictions — Vermont and West Virginia — have reported cases. No new cases this week in the Chicago outbreak. 🙏🏻 cdc.gov/measles/cases-…
How can therapies for rare conditions make it into use, if pharma doesn't see an economic path? A British researcher who has seen her work stalled is trying a new approach: Her hospital is trying to develop the treatment. @DrewQJoseph reports. 🔒 statnews.com/2024/04/25/bri…
The 2009 H1N1 pandemic traced back to a human virus that got into pigs decades ago & evolved more slowly in them, eventually differing enough from human H1s to be able to trigger a pandemic. Would be good to know how fast #H5N1 #birdflu is evolving in cows.
This I find curious: The milk data and the genetic sequence data suggest the #H5N1 #birdflu outbreaks in cows are far more widespread than has been recognized. And yet the last time @USDA confirmed a new outbreak was 4/19. How much testing is going on?aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…

@drpatesblog @HelenBranswell @florian_krammer there is also laboratory data showing ingestion in animal models, is very likely a viable route for H5N1 infection ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Everything you ever wanted to know about vaccines for H5N1 avian influenza (including things you didn't even know you wanted to know...)👇 tinyurl.com/2euydcmh by the great @HelenBranswell.
Great article @HelenBranswell!
#Breaking Testing conducted by the FDA on pasteurized commercially purchased milk has found genetic evidence of the H5N1 bird flu virus, the agency confirmed Tuesday. trib.al/5sU2zvO
@HelenBranswell @USDA The fed employee who worked (uncompensated) all weekend to get them in by Sunday night probably agrees…
@michaelmina_lab @HelenBranswell Many are hospitalized for isolation. It’s also a product of the ages of the cases we are seeing.
@Nucleocapsoid @thijskuiken @RickABright @USDA @USDA_APHIS @HelenBranswell Yes, the preprint from Xiao, Magstadt et al. -- I read through quickly when I 1st saw it Tuesday, but haven’t had time yet to go back through in more detail. There’s some nice detail on events leading up to those 1st #H5N1 #HPAI detections in cattle here: iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/04/17/two…
@HelenBranswell It baffles me that we are still talking about influenza-like illnesses, in the age of molecular diagnostics. The flu season is much more than influenza, RSV and Covid. I hope someday they report the full spectrum of respiratory viruses, including Enteroviruses, Paraflu, hMPV...
@HelenBranswell And still very little data being shared by @USDA.
being that tomorrow is April 8th I feel it necessary to point out- we made Empire Records THIRTY YEARS AGO. My bald arthritic self is nostalgic for those days. Not in an unhealthy “I want them back” kinda way, just really fortunate that it was part of my childhood.
@bcarolcox @HelenBranswell Just retweeted it...nice article. The science is evolving but still lots of gaps and early assumptions. Milk seems to be a key part of it, but we need more testing of cattle to sort out transmission routes and risks. Good to take extra care around milk on farms for now.
@HelenBranswell Happy Twitterversary, Helen! Appreciate the science and news you share with us. (It will always be Twitter to me, too.)
“But Covid is completely different than, say, flu”. It’s true that Covid was very high risk when we have no immunity —that’s what makes it a pandemic, like 1918 influenza was— but as population immunity increases, that risk goes down. And endemic influenza is high risk, too!
What a new study falsely being reported as "no such thing as Long Covid" actually says: The study finds that in a highly-vaccinated population, influenza is ALSO associated moderate to significant impairment in 4.4% of the infected at 12 weeks — similar to 4.1% after Omicron. 🧵
I’m really disappointed we couldn’t get this for our daughter, and very annoyed she won’t be eligible in the future. But I’m very glad to see how well it works!
US data suggest nirsevimab, the #RSV monoclonal sold as Beyfortus, was really effective in protecting against RSV hospitalizations for the babies lucky enough to get a dose. statnews.com/2024/03/07/rsv…
Sometimes in academic medicine, we just need to stop for a few hours and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. I have my best ideas out in the fresh air. This morning's sunrise was just too glorious not to share! #AtTheEquatorUG (# used literally, just a few km from the Equator).
