"Introducing heritable #rabies immunity into North American red fox populations through gene drive represents a strategy to both battle rabies and adjust the #ecology of (sub)urban environments."

https://globalnews.ca/news/10694129/oropouche-fever-sloths-insects-canadian-travel/ “An insect-transmitted virus.. is spreading at an “unprecedented” rate, with health officials warning that it is emerging in parts of the world, including Europe, where it has never been detected.

#Oropouche fever, a potentially fatal #zoonotic disease, is transmitted by tiny flies called #midges and #mosquitoes.. There is currently no vaccine for the virus, which is part of the same family of diseases as #Zika and #dengue fever.”

“Among the study's findings, the researchers revealed that a 1 million ton increase in beef, chicken, meat, and pork production in a given year corresponds to an increase in disease outbreaks between 48% and 530 among certain flu pathogens within a country.”

We need to stop the slaughter-based meat industry’s efforts to increase our consumption of these products via public funding.

#nipah #virus #Zoonotic

Here we go again ?

Worried about the very deadly #NipahVirus , are we now at risk all over the planet ?

The news from India about the death of a 14-year-old boy from the Nipah virus is causing unrest worldwide.

The failure to have adequate labour and health laws at farms is a weakness and a threat to the community

World #AnimalProtection #Canada has officially launched its #interactive #transparency #TrackingTool to monitor #CaptiveWildlife incidents in Canada.

The tool adds a layer of transparency to Canada's opaque #captive #wildlife problem. Documenting instances of #zoonotic #disease outbreaks, escapes, attacks and more, the tool is the most comprehensive #database to date by any organization or government in Canada.

If only there was something we could do.

Novel Idea: a bat killing feral cat gets infected by a new covid variant and infects the peta person feeding feral cats, who infects their kids who infect the school...and a new zoonotic outbreak occurs
