@jkdewulf.bsky.social spoke at #EuFMD webinar ”Biosecurity; Risk Perception, Communication, & Behavioural Change”, sharing insights on how to effectively integrate #biosecurity into animal health policy. Thanks to organizers for insightful session. Learn more about our work at shorturl.at/dEVvA

We have the means but do we have the courage? Great presentation of @catharinaStarck @svepm on science in time of crisis! Lets continue to have a soft face and a strong back.

Now also Avian Influenza in sheep 😕https://www.gov.uk/government/news/influenza-of-avian-origin-confirmed-in-a-sheep-in-yorkshire #biosecurity

#hungary has confirmed a case of #FMD, it is the first in 50 years and less than 2 months after the outbreak in Germany. #biosecurity wahis.woah.org#/in-review/6...

first case of #HPAI in cats in Belgium. They likely got infected through contact with infected poultry. favv-afsca.be/nl/news/geza...

I'm using the new EpiTools from EpiMundi. Check it out. epitools.epimundi.com

Had the honour to talk to an interested audience of Dutch Poultry farmers on #biosecurity practices and why this is important for sustainable Animal production.

Am I the only one linking the #footh-and-mouth disease outbreak in Germany to possibility of #bioterrorism? Can somebody reassure me and give me the required info to make it look as an accidental unintented introduction?

According to the chinese news agency a second case of foot-and-mouth disease is reported in Germany english.news.cn/20250117/99c...

An outbreak of #fmd is reported in Germany. This is very unexpected in the center of Europe. This requires immediate and strong responses as it might a have devastating impact on the animal production throughout Europe. mailchi.mp/woah/test-ne...

There are poxviruses other than #mpox In Bulgaria, a sheep pox outbreak has been detected. A 3-km protection zone and a 10-km surveillance zone around the affected farm. While sheep pox doesn't endanger humans, its spread can lead to significant economic losses. www.bta.bg/en/news/8032...

Congratulations to Dr. Arthi Amalraj on succesfully defending her PhD on #biosecurity in #poultry production.

Today, the board of WABA (World Animal Biosecurity Association) came together for the very first time to officially kick off WABA's activities. This is a first step toward what will hopefully become an impactful and successful organization.

also in Belgium :-) www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241...

interesting reading on the risk assessment for #HPAI for UK citizens. By extension likely also valid for majority of Europe I guess. www.food.gov.uk/research/foo...

Hello bsky. Good to be here. I'm hiring! Can't think of a better inaugural post than to share details of new 2-year research fellow post we're advertising for an outstanding epidemiogist to join my team to work on improving population mental health. tinyurl.com/28mlykr9 #CausalSky #EpiSky

Kijk er geweldig naar uit om deze te gaan lezen @koenShoors

Check out the latest episode of the #BIOSECURE Podcast, we talk with Dr. Nelima Ibrahim from #Bangladesh, discussing #biosecurity in backyard poultry farming.🌍🐔 Listen here: tinyurl.com/2mwh2exh #backyardpoultry #biosecurity #onehealth

📣Our new survey: Pig backyard/small-scale, designed specifically for small-scale pig owners and backyard farms! Whether you're raising #pigs on small yard/barn, this survey helps better assess #biosecurity situation of your farm. 👉 biocheckgent.com/en/questionn...

Backyard / small-scale pig farming is one of the drivers behind the spread of major diseases such as #ASF. #Biosecurity is one of the only tools available to reduce these risks. Yes also in backyard farming you can improve biosecurity. Do you want to know how? check biocheckgent.com/en/questionn...

did you know that #broilers are treated on average 60-75% of their lifetime with #antibiotics not even taking into account the use of antimicrobial growth promotors. for more info read our most recent paper www.mdpi.com/3073472

The UN projects that Africa’s population will double by 2070

Yesterday a video crew of #EBVS visited our faculty to film Some of the #biosecurity measures in the animal Clinic

a recent paper in which we evaluated the risk for different mammals to be infected by HPAI. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Concerned about #H5N1 - we know of at least 3 infections in persons with an unidentified source - Person from #Missouri, admitted to the hospital - Teenager in #Canada, admitted to ICU i - Child in #California It seems we are missing something and need to increase surveillance and testing

interessante inzichten www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241...

antimicrobial use in humans in Belgium is back to pre-covid levels, and that is bad news ! www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

@brandonhayes.bsky.social i would love to be added to the list
