Emerging zoonotic (respiratory) viruses in birds, bats and pigs. Surveillance, (meta)genomics, pathogenesis, virus ecology, evolution. Opinions are my own.
- Come find me today at the American Society for Virology in Montreal, Canada, where I will present about the emergence of a novel reassortant clade 2.3.2.1c/e virus associated with human cases in Cambodia! #ASV #H5N1 #zoonoses #influenza
- In May 2025, The Telegraph joined our field mission on virus surveillance work in #Cambodia, where we used novel, non-invasive techniques like air sampling in live bird markets and bat caves, paired with field-deployable tools, to detect #emergingviruses at the source.
- In a region with ongoing #H5N1 infections in humans, #earlydetection is key, and approaches help us monitor high-risk environments quickly, safely, and cost-effectively. Read the full article here: www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

- Reposted by Jurre Y. SiegersThe Virology Unit at IPC is constantly working to make surveillance/Early Warning faster, better, cheaper — from air sampling to portable labs.

- Reposted by Jurre Y. SiegersCambodia has confirmed its 9th and 10th human cases of H5N1 bird flu this year. 6 of these cases occurred in June alone. Sadly, 6 people have died in 2025. 🧪🧬🦠🔬🥼😷🐓💉
