FSME Langzeitstudie (>2.200 hospitalisierte Fälle in Österreich 2000-2024)
✅ Die Impfung schützt sehr zuverlässig: 91-99% Schutzwirkung
Aber die Impfraten sinken, und mehr schwere FSME-Fälle bei Ungeimpften und bei nicht vollständig Geimpften sind die Folge www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
This week as part of the @pilzfestspiele.at - our group showed mycorrhizal fungal colonized roots, our culture collection, posters of results, and we had a massive turnout! People are becoming increasingly interested in fungi @cemess.bsky.social @ter-cemess.bsky.social
