Following H5N1 and Other Emerging Infectious Diseases

If, like me, you are worried about the spread of H5N1 avian influenza then you will want to have a look at The Transmission, a site produced by the Global Center for Health Security at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.  

Their Unofficial HPAI H5N1 Map is sourced from "from FAO EMPRES, USDA APHIS, WAHIS, and open source news reports beginning in late 2022 to current" and is quite sobering. Until I viewed it, I hadn't realized how extensive the outbreaks were in North America.

As well as H5N1, the site contains information on other emerging infectious diseases, including Marburg virus, and of course, COVID-19. 

If you're still on Twitter, you can follow Claudine Miller, an analyst at the Center. 

Thanks to BoingBoing for pointing me to The Transmission.
