@guerreroespejo.bsky.socialGreat work — and much needed. Your review does an excellent job clarifying what we know, what remains uncertain, & why coordinated surveillance matters.
A valuable contribution for anyone following tick‑borne viruses, or early‑warning systems. Looking forward to seeing how the field evolves
@bharrap.bsky.socialDay 1 of #AEA2026 off to a great start
Talk by Brett Dyer (Griffith Uni) got me thinking - is there a repository that pools published DAGs to show collectively what is thought to be related to a given outcome?

The woman had several underlying health conditions and had a “past diagnosis of measles with treatment.”
@natcomputsci.nature.com📢Can AI learn from past epidemics to better understand future outbreaks? Max Lau et al. contribute to our 5-year Series and explore how epidemic models can move beyond prediction to capture the mechanisms driving disease spread. www.nature.com/articles/s43... #episky

@alxndrmlk.bsky.socialIs causality enough to take AI to the next level?
And why do today's models fall so easily into a correlational black hole?

@eurosurveillance.orgIn summer 2024, an unusual increase in infections caused by a rare type of #Salmonella was identified with 56 cases in France, 30 in Germany, 129 in the UK and one in the U.S.
The #outbreak investigation tried to identify the outbreak vehicle and source
