Changes in bats' diets increase spread of viruses, spillover risk | Cornell Chronicle

Bats on poor diets due to habitat loss shed more virus, increasing spillover risk to horses and humans.

Daily briefing: What we learnt at The Centre for Unusual Collaborations

Discovery of sneeze neurons could lead to new therapies for cough-related conditions.

Fur farms may facilitate the transmission of zoonotic viruses posing pandemic risks.

Public acceptance of climate change improves with consensus messaging and personal relevance.

Universities need to adapt to AI advancements or risk obsolescence.

With the U.S. bird flu outbreak uncontained, scientists see growing risks

The spread of bird flu in dairy cattle poses a serious risk of a pandemic if unchecked, as evidenced by recent cases in poultry farms.

How would RFK Jr. handle bird flu? His record on vaccines has experts on edge

Bird flu's spread among animals poses a pandemic risk as the incoming administration lacks a clear plan to address it.

Single bird flu mutation could let it latch easily to human cells, study finds

A single mutation in bird flu could enable it to infect humans, a crucial finding for pandemic preparedness.

Bird flu has been found in a pig for the first time in the U.S.

A pig in Oregon tested positive for bird flu, raising concerns about the virus potentially becoming a human threat.

What would it take for the bird flu virus to spark a pandemic? New study has clues

Bird flu could evolve into a pandemic strain through a single mutation that enhances its ability to infect human cells.

1st US case of bird flu in a pig raises concerns over potential human threat

The discovery of bird flu in U.S. pigs is alarming and highlights potential risks to human health.

A Second Tree of Life' Could Wreak Havoc, Scientists Warn

Research on synthetic microbes poses extreme risks of pandemics and environmental collapse, urging a ban on such studies.

A scientist working to create 'mirror life' discovered it could be 'a perfect bioweapon.' She's asking other researchers to stop.

Creating mirror life poses significant risks, potentially leading to catastrophic pandemics if such organisms escape scientific control.

Here's why bird flu fears are intensifying

Influenza virus may have found a new and hospitable host in dairy cattle, raising pandemic concerns.

The risk of a pandemic is heightened due to the virus's transmission between animals and humans.

Fears fresh pandemic outbreak could spark in China's fur farms

Fur farms in China host viruses that could lead to a new pandemic, with experts urging for the industry to be shut down.

As avian flu hops to cows and at least two humans, migrant farm workers are at risk

Conditions on US dairy farms, including long hours and close contact with cows, can pose risks for spillover infections like H5N1.

Lassa fever to have a fearsome toll without vaccination

Vaccinating against Lassa fever could save thousands of lives and reduce economic losses substantially.

Public Health Experts Raise Concerns About State of Bird Flu Testing

Dairy cows may have the potential to act as reservoirs for bird flu, increasing the risk of a human-to-human transmissible virus.

Why a teenager's bird-flu infection is ringing alarm bells for scientists

Just one mutation can make H5N1 bird flu a threat to humans, California researchers say

We've entered a forever war with bird flu

Bird Flu Virus Is One Mutation Away from Binding More Efficiently to Human Cells

Slow, Disjointed Response to Bird Flu Outbreak Could Allow Disease to Spread

We May Not Have Enough Bird Flu Vaccines when We Need Them
