#Influenza virus has a segmented genome, which means that exchange of viral segments between one or more influenza virus subtypesā#reassortmentāis possible, and can contribute to a shift in virulence and adaptation to new hosts. (1/3)
This study in @nature shows that reassortment events in #influenza virus #H9N2, which is widely circulating in #poultry populations worldwide and has the ability to infect #humans, can lead to novel reassortant viruses with variable phenotypic traits. (2/3)
This warrants the continuous monitoring of #influenza #H9N2 and co-circulating subtypes in avian hosts. (3/3)
Just out: Scientific report with overview of highly pathogenic avian #influenza from December 2022 to March 2023, by @efsa, @ECDC_EU, and EURL AI. A thread on the situation in poultry, wild birds, wild mammals, and humans in Europe and worldwide. (1/11)

In #Europe, highly pathogenic avian #influenza virus #H5N1, clade 2.3.4.4b, was reported in 403 #poultry farms and 119 other captive bird holdings birds in 24 countries between 3 December 2022 and 1 March 2023. (2/11)
In Europe, an unexpected number of highly pathogenic avian #influenza virus #H5N1 detections in #seabirds were observed between 3 December 2022 and 1 March 2023, mainly in gull species and particularly in black-headed #gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus). (3/11)

One thing that goes often down in all the noise surrounding #lableak is the fact that SARS-CoV-2, and actually all CoVs, possess #mosaic genomes.
This is because CoVs evolve not only through mutation but also through exchanging genetic elements with other CoVs

This exchange is called '#recombination'.
One can imagine CoV genomes like colorful Lego brick walls, and recombination as taking one brick from a different virus and putting it in the wall of another; changing the color while keeping roughly the function.

They need to build #hospitals & employ #humans, not buy more tech. Have you ever been through a week where someone in your organisation didn't need the tech they use #troubleshooting?

Brexit lost us a lot of clinical staff. The staff in hospitals now are worked to the point of breaking & beyond. The answer isn't more tech. Tech needs to be integrated into a highly effective service with enough resources to cope.

The #cranes mentioned above in particular stand out due rather muscular legs and what seems a more human-like #anatomy, including 'knees' and 'toes'.
