New research could help stop flu before it spreads. @racheledgar.bsky.social & @anikasinga.bsky.social have been awarded £1.3m by @TheFluLab to explore whether glycol-based air treatments can reduce airborne virus transmission of flu and other airborne diseases. www.imperial.ac.uk/news/article...

In call with clinicians, CDC recommends flu vaccines widely Both the CDC official and the WHO said preliminary UK data show that the current seasonal vaccine offers strong protection against subclade K. www.cidrap.umn.edu/i...

Update on the wild #polio discovery in Germany: The virus was found in wastewater in Hamburg. @rki.de, the German public health agency, says the virus sequence is very similar to some isolated in Afghanistan, so the likely source was an infected human. (page 10 here: www.rki.de/DE/Aktuelles...)

Early flu activity this season with a new H3N2 subclade. Amazingly quick work by the respiratory virus epi and lab teams at UKHSA to investigate circulating viruses and vaccine effectiveness. Read our preprint here assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/691349...

Today @natmedicine.bsky.social published our study showing the older individuals born prior to 1968 have more antibodies that cross-react to #H5N1 relative to younger individuals. If H5N1 causes a pandemic, children will likely be the most susceptible. 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

H5N1 strain-specific antibodies are higher in older individuals and correlate more with birth year than with age, suggesting that younger individuals are potentially more likely to benefit from H5N1 v...

WHO advisers swap out H3N2 strains for next Northern Hemisphere flu vaccines They also recommended two vaccine strains for pandemic preparedness, one for the H5N1 2.3.2.1a clade and another for the reemerging H5N6 2.3.4.4h clade. www.cidrap.umn.edu/i... CDC / Dr. Fred Murphy
