Interessant, dass Christian #Drosten seine Meinung zum Ursprung von #Covid19 geändert hat.

Anfang 2020 hatte er noch gutgläubig die chinesischen Wissenschaftler:innen in Schutz genommen (hatte sich einem Statement in #TheLancet angeschlossen):
"We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."

"Es gab und gibt aber auch immer wieder schwere Krankheits- und Todesfälle nach einer H5N1-Infektion. Die Furcht, das Influenza-Virus H5N1 könnte zum Auslöser einer Pandemie wie der Spanischen Grippe 1917 oder der sogenannten Asiatischen Grippe 1957 werden, liegt also nahe."

To add to this discussion a vegan angle: on top of the all the ways humans are raising the dangers to public health by messing around with non-human animals, one of the shared erroneous arguments in recent years has merged with its anti-vegan doppelganger:

"it's a personal choice!"

It's most definitely not a personal choice. Consuming animal body parts and excretions affects those animals, individually, each one. Similarly, when you carry a contagious pathogen, you're not just affecting your own person, you're affecting everyone you contaminate.

This goes full circle with spillovers from humans to other animals. Here's an example article on that: https://theconversation.com/humans-infecting-animals-infecting-humans-from-covid-19-to-bird-flu-preventing-pandemics-requires-protecting-all-species-212679

Wie hängen #Klimawandel, menschliches Handeln und #Pandemien zusammen? Die Doku "#Spillover – Planet der #Viren" geht dieser Frage nach 🦠 #Covid
https://www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/dokus/sendung/spillover-planet-der-viren-100.html

Die #Doku klingt interessant. #SZ: "Die Doku „ #Spillover “ zeigt so nüchtern wie eindringlich, dass der Mensch mit Landraub, #Klimawandel und Brandrodungen gerade beste Bedingungen für #Viren schafft, damit sie vom Tier auf den Menschen übergehen."

{#USA, #Nevada} The Occurrence of Another Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza (HPAI) #Spillover from Wild #Birds into Dairy #Cattle, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/02/usa-nevada-occurrence-of-another-highly.html

Analysis of hemagglutinin gene of Nevada dairy cattle viruses did not identify changes predicted to impact #infectivity or #adaptation to mammalian hosts. However, a change of #PB2 D701N commonly associated with mammalian adaptation of HPAI virus was identified in viruses sequenced from four separate dairy cattle.

Die Umstellung auf pflanzenbasierte Gerichte im wachsenden Markt für Essenspaket-Lieferungen könnte den Treibhausgas-Fußabdruck des Sektors deutlich reduzieren. Viele Verbraucher entscheiden sich jedoch bei der Online-Bestellung von Lebensmitteln für fleischbasierte Optionen, ohne pflanzliche Alternativen in Betracht zu ziehen. Umfrageexperiment: Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Umweltbotschaft die Wahl eines pflanzlichen Abendessens auf zwei Wegen deutlich erhöhte. Bei Verbrauchern, die sich für ein pflanzliches Mittagessen entschieden, verstärkte die Botschaft ihre #Umweltidentität, was zu einer stärkeren Wahl eines pflanzlichen Abendessens führte. Bei denjenigen, die sich für ein fleischbasiertes Mittagessen entschieden, löste die Botschaft #kognitiveDissonanz aus, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit erhöhte, dass sie sich für pflanzliche Abendessenoptionen entschieden.

#Evidence of #Influenza A(#H5N1) #Spillover Infections in #Horses, #Mongolia

Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, AbstractRecent outbreaks of influenza A(H5N1) have affected many mammal species. We report serologic evidence of H5N1 virus infection in horses in Mongolia. Because H3N8 equine influenza virus is endemic in many countries, horses should be monitored to prevent reassortment between equine and avian influenza viruses with unknown consequences. ____

To ensure the reduction of #spillover #risk of a zoonotic virus with #pandemic potential, jurisdictions with infected animals should adopt effective, ethical #policies and apply them consistently to all farmed species.
