- I am very glad to share the preprint for our latest study on the 2024-2025 chikungunya virus outbreak on Réunion island, with primary data produced thanks to the massive efforts performed by Marie-C Jaffar and Etienne Frumence and analyses led by Simon Dellicour. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...
- This second major outbreak stems from a new single introduction, after more than ten years with no autochthonous cases reported on the island.

- Reposted by Raphaëlle KLe comité SAGO de l'OMS a publié un rapport de 78 pages sur l'origine de la pandémie de Covid-19. Il y a déjà beaucoup d'approximations et même de désinformation dessus. Pour un résumé honnête et instructif, lisez la référence journalistique sur le sujet, Jon Cohen dans Science
