Finally turning to #BuruliUlcer, Cole is talking us through the possibility of using telacebec as a potential treatment option. #ESCMIDGlobal
Next in the spotlight, #BuruliUlcer, which has a smaller genome, a large number of pseudogenes as well as a huge number of insertion genes – another case of reductive evolution. #ESCMIDGlobal
Cole is going to focus on three important pathogens, #TB, #leprosy and #BuruliUlcer, starting by discussing their morbidity and mortality rate. #TB is the biggest of these, present in 195 countries and affecting 10.8 million people globally. #ESCMIDGlobal
Stewart T. Cole is about to dive into the world of genomics at #ESCMIDGlobal 2025! Join him to explore how genomic advances have reshaped our understanding of #tuberculosis, #leprosy, and #BuruliUlcer and their implications for public health.

Side note, there's an alert at the top of that page 👇 on the #BuruliUlcer noting that #Covid19 numbers are increasing. What fun! Protect your waiter/ess, sales person, checkout operator.... Maybe I should just say "Host" ((your body is a host, by the way, don't let #Covid19 use it as an #AirBnB!) 😷🙏
“The disease is spreading geographically across Victoria &…there has been an increase in cases linked to several suburbs in Greater Geelong & the inner north & west of Melbourne…There is increasing evidence that mosquito bites & possums play a role in disease transmission...” #BuruliUlcer #AusPol
