A great extra step towards a more collaborative and open science and public health environment! @pathoplexus.org now supports RSV and HMPV genomes. 🦠 🧬

Pathoplexus @pathoplexus.org · May 22

📢Today Pathoplexus announces the inclusion of 2 new viral pathogens: RSV (A & B) and HMPV.

These respiratory viruses cause a serious health burden, particularly in infants & the vulnerable, & Pathoplexus aims to support sequence sharing to improve understanding & response.

Anderson F. Brito @andersonfbrito.bsky.social · Feb 14

4/ Sustainability is crucial! Combining metagenomics with cost-effective molecular tools like pan-viral PCRs & amplicon-based sequencing is essential for long-term surveillance success. Stronger intersectoral collaboration is also key. #PathogenDetection

3/ A major focus was a project, backed by ITpS & executed by the Division of Zoonosis Surveillance of São Paulo. In 2024 it used metagenomics to detect zoonotic viruses in urban areas, particularly in bats. #InfectiousDiseases

Anderson F. Brito @andersonfbrito.bsky.social · Feb 14

2/ The event brought together public health, animal health, and academic experts to explore ways to enhance health surveillance in Brazil. São Paulo’s experience with metagenomics was a key case study. #GenomicSurveillance

1/ 🦇🧬Genomic surveillance is transforming pathogen detection, but its sustainability depends on smart integration into public health strategies. I had the honor of discussing this at a workshop organized by PAHO/WHO & @todospelasaude.bsky.social, focused on urban bats. 🧵👇 #OneHealth

Today Pathoplexus announces the inclusion of a new viral pathogen: mpox (previously known as monkeypox).

Within the context of the current mpox outbreaks and ongoing health concerns, Pathoplexus aims to support sequence sharing to improve both understanding and response.

Check this new system for dengue virus lineage classification: it will be a game-changer for understanding dengue virus evolution.

Nathan Grubaugh @nathangrubaugh.bsky.social · Nov 18

If you do dengue virus sequencing +/- phylogenetic analysis, check out our new system for classifying lineages.

Led by Verity Hill, this was a large collaborative effort by dengue researchers from 14 countries.

Great talk by Alexandre Caron at #WOHC2024. When it comes to implementing #OneHealth, context-specific approaches are essential. Many possible approaches (and institutions) may be necessary, depending on the ecological context of animal populations (1st column below).
