Ecology matters: "while drought decreases #mosquito abundances, it paradoxically increases #WNV infection (...) probably stems from reduced water availability, which concentrates mosquitoes and pathogen-amplifying bird hosts around limited water sources"

Great paper "Implications of successive blood feeding on Wolbachia-mediated dengue virus inhibition in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes", showing that successive feeding shortens #dengue EIP but #Wolbachia retains protective effects. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Wondering what the potential of the #Qdenga #vaccine against #dengue infection and disease may be if delivered? This is a great paper to go to.

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal *even worse*. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

In an ideal world the fines would feedback into the PT system, making something good out of a prohibition. But it won't.

New work in Nature shows that a brief 5-day CIP course in (n=60) healthy adults can lead to emergence of AMR in ~10% of ~5600 gut microbial species. Most mutations in gyrA (known FQ hotspots), do not affect fitness & can be detected >10wks (projected to persist >1y)

There is no way that 74% is an honest assessment. When people want something, they don't vote for the opposite.
