🆕 Today, UKHSA and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) have confirmed the first detection of West Nile virus in mosquitoes collected in the UK. There is currently no evidence of wider circulation in birds or mosquitoes, and the risk to the public remains very low. 📰🔗 www.gov.uk/government/n...

🔔New preprint highlighting a huge collaborative effort! We show the importance of silent reservoirs in Usutu virus transmission in NL. The work has featured in talks at Epidemics, SVEPM, and ModAH so you might have heard (but not read!) about it before 😉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
