We are currently investigating a suspected case of #FootandMouth disease in Norfolk. Movement restrictions and a 10km temporary control zone are in place on the farm. Preliminary testing does not indicate the presence of disease and further work is underway to fully rule it out.

We’ve integrated a huge new deep mutational scanning dataset from Yunlong Cao, Sunney Xie et al in visualizations that reveal how #SARSCoV2 RBD mutations affect antibodies, including antibodies that neutralize #Omicron or are from vaccinees previously infected by SARS-CoV-1 (1/n)

One of the happiest moment after meeting with my PhD main supervisor @Alexandersens after 3 months. Though the meeting was very short, I felt like I am at home with my guardian, now onward we will meet again and again 🥳🥰

Another open access paper from GCEID, this one on detection of diverse antimicrobial resistance genes; it has been a long time under way, well done Vanina taking it to the finish line 😎 frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Another paper from GCEID; well done Tarka and Anthony: Exploring the Cause of Diarrhoea and Poor Growth in 8–11-Week-Old Pigs from an Australian Pig Herd Using Metagenomic Sequencing mdpi.com/1227864 ##mdpiviruses via @VirusesMDPI
Almost 20 years ago; although infection was likely present at Heddon-on-the-Wall from early February and pigs delivered to the Essex abattoir on this Thursday (20 years ago), official confirmation was on the Tuesday 21 February 2001
Today marks 20 years since the 1st cases of #FMD were found in #UK, which led to severe production losses & major constraints in international trade. These anniversaries remind us of the importance to control and prevent #FootandMouth and Similar Transboundary #AnimalDiseases.

Der er brug for en bredere undersøgelse af minksagen, skriver @PCollignon i morgendagens leder. »Myndighedernes manglende vilje til at dele viden er dybt problematisk i både videnskabelig og demokratisk forstand.« #dkpol #COVID19dk berlingske.dk/ledere/der-er-…

For mig handler det om mink men ogsaa Om faglighed, videnkaabelig og praktisk indsigt og selvfoelgelig Om at holde loven; det burde vaere selvklart for folkevalgte og for embedsmaend
Signe Bøgevald: Minksagen handler ikke om mink. "Det er netop den enkelte, som grundloven skal beskytte mod magthaverne og skiftende flertal i befolkningen." #minkgate #dkpol altinget.dk/artikel/signe-bo…

Kaotisk for at sige det mildt.
Har departementchefen i @Statsmin der før var dep.chef i justitsministeriet, altså #kronjurist, ikke advaret regeringen og dermed @MogensJensenS om det manglende retsgrundlag for aflivning af alle mink? #dkpol #dkmedier #Corona
