This National Public Health Week we also wanted to highlight global health work. The latest from CDC highlights how quickly identifying threats like #Marburg in Tanzania, #Ebola in Uganda, and a bacterial outbreak in Vietnam kept them from becoming global crises.

Across the Globe, ICAP Works to Protect Communities from Major Health Threats Across several countries, ICAP is working to strengthen global health security, building health system capacity and outbreak preparedness.

From #antimicrobialresistance in #Ukraine to #Ebola in #SierraLeone, #epidemic surveillance in #SouthSudan to training field epidemiologists in #Armenia and #Azerbaijan, ICAP is working around the world to improve #globalhealthsecurity. #columbiapublichealth #CDC https://ow.ly/JAVs50YGIjs

What happens to survivors when an #epidemic ends and headlines fade? @hopkinspress.bsky.social's LIFE AFTER EPIDEMICS confronts this question through the voices of those who lived through the world's deadliest #Ebola outbreak.

Thousands of vials labelled HIV, Covid‑19, Ebola: China-linked biolabs found in unauthorised facilities i A secret biological laboratory found in a suburban Las Vegas home, apparently linked to a similar unauthorised facility in California, has alarmed officials who warn that the United States may be dangerously unprepared for hidden bioterror threats. On January 31, police in Las Vegas raided a five‑bedroom house in a quiet residential area after several people who had stayed there became “deathly ill”, according to the Daily Mail. Officers found multiple refrigerators, unknown liquids in bottles and jugs, and laboratory‑style equipment inside a garage that had been converted into a makeshift biolab. More than 1,000 samples were sent to the National Bioforensic Analysis Centre for testing, as authorities continue to examine what substances were present. The property manager, 55‑year‑old Ori Solomon, was arrested after police said they also discovered a cache of weapons in the house. He has been charged with disposing and discharging hazardous waste and, because of his visa status, being a prohibited person in possession of firearms. His lawyer says that Solomon was not involved with the lab. The Las Vegas discovery has direct links to a much larger investigation in Reedley, California, where an illegal biolab was uncovered in late 2022 and investigated in 2023. Local...

Ebola virus may linger in breast milk for weeks after recovery The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is recommending that the antiviral drug tecovirimat (Tpoxx) no longer be used for treating mpox. The recommendation, made by the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, is based on four studies that have found that Tpoxx was no better than a placebo to heal active mpox lesions, relieve pain, or help clear the virus faster. Tpoxx was authorized to treat mpox by the EMA in November 2021. But EMA officials noted that the authorization for mpox was based on an animal model of mpox infections, since the virus was not circulating widely enough in people at the time to conduct human studies. “The animal data demonstrated antiviral activity and a survival benefit when treatment was started early and a reduced efficacy if treatment was initiated later after exposure to the virus,” they said in a news release. That was before clade 2 mpox outbreaks began in 2022. Those outbreaks, which the led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), enabling drugmaker SIGA Technologies to conduct efficacy studies in people. The WHO declared a second PHEIC in 2024 over clade 1 outbreaks. The EMA says...

The Contribution of Viral Toxins to Infection and The process by which viruses cause disease, viral pathogenesis, is the result of both infection of cells and the host immune response. A less studied but equally important contributor to viral pathogenesis is viral dissemination, the capacity of a virus to move from the primary site of infection, traverse physiological barriers, and gain access to secondary sites of infection. This dictates viral tropism and pathogenesis, but the mechanisms governing barrier crossing are incompletely understood. While the presence of viral receptors on cells is a major determinant of viral tropism and a prerequisite for infection, it does not completely explain the capacity of viruses to enter a tissue. Our recent work has begun to characterize the contribution of soluble viral proteins, acting as “viral toxins,” to viral dissemination, tissue tropism, and overall pathogenesis within an infected host.   In this review, we discuss the characteristics of these viral toxins, which are soluble or surface-exposed viral proteins that can interact with endothelial and/or epithelial barriers, as well as immune cells, to trigger signaling pathways, resulting in the transient breakdown of cellular structures maintaining barrier integrity. The disruption of these barriers induces vascular leak and facilitates virus dissemination, influencing viral tropism and pathogenesis. Importantly, blocking this process prevents leak, viral dissemination, and severe disease during infection, highlighting the value of therapeutic intervention against viral toxin activity. Here, we summarize our current understanding of recently discovered viral toxins from the Flaviviridae, Coronaviridae, Nairoviridae, and Filoviridae.   Published March 13, 2026 in MBio: https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.00421-25    

The review describes examples of viral toxins in infections with SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and Dengue and other flaviviruses. Viral glycoproteins affect endothelial and epithelial barriers, facilitating the systemic dissemination of the virus to other tissues #ebola #dengue
