This is an interesting case of a patient from Chad infected with a novel arenavirus species/variant/strain, presenting with meningoencephalitis.

IMO, could be classified as a highly divergent Lassa virus strain in a new country (similar to what Togo has observed).

A Mammarenavirus Close to Lassa Virus in a Patient with Meningoencephalitis | NEJM
A 37-year-old man in Chad presented with a fever and a headache. An extensive evaluation identified a mammarenavirus, close to Lassa virus, in samples of cerebrospinal fluid.

Este estudio en Italia detecta altas seroprevalencias frente a dengue y zika en inmigrantes, lo que indica que la exposición en sus países de origen les ha creado inmunidad protectiva. Ello hace difícil que introduzcan dichas enfermedades en Europa.

Nuevo hipótesis sobre sobre la selección natural de la virulencia bacteriana: virulencia y persistencia de la peste a lo largo de los siglos.
Te lo cuento en microBIO:
microbioblog.es/virulencia-y...
Virulencia y persistencia de la peste a lo largo de los siglos – microBIOblog
En 1656, una terrible epidemia de peste azotó todo el Reino de Nápoles. Se estima que murió más de un millón de personas y al menos un tercio de la población de la ciudad de Nápoles. Algunas ciudades y pueblos quedaron prácticamente vacíos. Los cronistas de la época relatan escenas de un colapso total: cadáveres apilados en las calles durante días, a menudo devorados por perros o ratas; monasterios y hospitales desbordados; fosas comunes enormes fuera de las ciudades… Familias enteras morían en cuarentena dentro de sus casas, clausuradas con tablones desde el exterior por las autoridades. El brote se prolongó durante dos largos años.

Mira @yol33.bsky.social , me han hecho caso 😊.

Es que "cae de maduro", y es un problema mucho más grave de lo que parece, esa capacidad de manipulación masiva y quizás hasta un deterioro de las relaciones internacionales.

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵
The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. 2. Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events. 3. Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels. 4. Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market. 5. By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.

In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.

By quite a lot.
