@sethjudson.bsky.socialYellow fever reemerged over the last two years in the Colombian Andes after nearly a century. Our study published today in @ofidjournal.bsky.social examines the eco-epidemiology of human and primate cases to understand risk factors
@ecdc.europa.euBased on the limited information currently available, there are no reports of secondary cases and no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission that would cause further spread of the disease.
@ecdc.europa.euUpdate of the Ebola virus disease outbreak in DRC - 6 Oct:
