I think to @pharmageddon.bsky.social point— because zoonosis is a bit of an umbrella term, the concept of reservoir ends up getting adapted to the “scenario” the term zoonosis is being used in

Rossana Rosa @drrossanarosa.bsky.social · 11h

According to this, a reservoir is “the habitat in which the agent lives, grows and multiplies” while the carrier is an animal (or person) infected but not showing disease.
So reservoirs may also be carriers.

#18- Deer
This got me thinking *what* is a zoonosis?
Per WHO they r ifx “naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans”
I’ve seen Lyme referred to as “vector-borne zoonotic disease”
And what is a reservoir?
Thoughts #IDSky #VetSky?

A cute picture of a deer and zoonoses associated with them. If this deer looks orange to you is because somehow I thought mixing orange and yellow alcohol markers would make a tan color, and to my surprise it didn’t so then I tried coloring over it.

Ohhhh the eternal battle w derm based on their uncontrolled case series 🙄

I will say though— if there is a plan for surgery, I do think there’s a role for antibiotics to cool down an HS flare. But why erta?

Love Fabulosos Cadillacs. Also- more lyrics for when I’m getting in my protesta feels:

“Solo le pido a Dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente”

#15- chameleon

As with other reptiles, Salmonella is a big issue. But found a study where researchers extracted intestinal contents from veiled chameleons and founds lots of other stuff 😳
