Gemuteerde coronavariant 'Cicada' rukt op, maar lijkt mild In de Verenigde Staten circuleert een sterk gemuteerde variant van het coronavirus, die in steeds meer landen opduikt. Ook in Nederland komt deze variant sinds vorig jaar zomer voor, maar reden tot paniek is er niet. Kwetsbare groepen moeten wel opletten, zegt immunoloog Ger Rijkers.

Cicada Covid variant BA 3.2: Will existing vaccines work on the 70+ mutations of Omicron virus? BA.3.2 carries around 70 to 75 mutations compared to the dominant strains currently circulating. That’s a lot. Those mutations, concentrated in the spike protein, are what’s catching scientists’ attention – because the spike is essentially the tool the virus uses to break into your cells. How did it get the name ‘Cicada’? The nickname “Cicada” was coined by evolutionary biologist T Ryan Gregory at the University of Guelph. When Omicron swept the globe in late 2021, genetic testing picked up five primary branches of its family tree. Four drove waves of infections worldwide. But BA.3 – the parent of BA.3.2 – was detected in 2022 and then mysteriously went silent. CNN Now it’s back. Just like the insect. How far has it spread? By February 11, 2026, ‘Cicada’ Covid BA.3.2 variant had been reported in at least 23 countries, with global detections increasing beginning in September 2025. The first US detection occurred on June 27, 2025, through the CDC’s Traveler-Based Genomic Surveillance programme, in a participant arriving from the Netherlands, according to the Fox News report. Since then, the variant has been found in at least 25 US states, and wastewater data from the CDC shows BA.3.2 was present in...

CDC lists Nipah virus as Category 5 notifiable disease The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) yesterday officially designated Nipah virus as a Category 5 notifiable disease, requiring suspected cases to be reported within 24 hours. The CDC said the decision to elevate Nipah virus to a Category 5 disease reflects ongoing outbreaks abroad and its high fatality rate and transmission risks, aiming to strengthen early warning systems, raise public awareness and ensure rapid response to future cases. Despite the new classification, no domestic infections have been recorded to date, it said. In a notice to medical institutions, the CDC said patients meeting reporting criteria must be admitted to negative-pressure isolation wards and treated under strict control measures, including contact, droplet and airborne precautions. Doctors are required to report suspected cases through the national infectious disease reporting system within 24 hours, it said. Clinical samples — such as nasopharyngeal or throat swabs, or cerebrospinal fluid collected during the symptomatic phase — must be packaged as Category A infectious substances and transported at 2oC to 8oC to the CDC for testing. Nipah virus is a zoonotic disease transmitted through direct contact with infected pigs or contaminated tissues. Other transmission routes include the consumption of food tainted by fruit bat saliva or...

First cases of Usutu virus found in blackbirds in Scotland The birds are particularly susceptible to Usutu virus (USUV), and it has been circulating in south-east England for six years. It is regarded as generally of low risk to people and there have been no human cases reported in the UK to date. The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) said it was working with research project Mosquito Scotland to closely monitor the spread of the virus. USUV has been found across Europe.. Wild birds are the main carrier of the virus, and the blackbird is one of the most common UK birds. Andra-Maria Ionescu, of APHA, said: "The detection of Usutu virus in blackbirds in Scotland shows that countries further north are now facing an increased risk of mosquito-borne viruses. "These findings highlight importance and need for improved, nationwide wild bird and mosquito surveillance to better assess the risks posed to animal and human health." Islanders on Arran spotted a cluster of blackbirds displaying unusual neurological behaviour, and found dead birds, during the summer last year. Prof Heather Ferguson, Mosquito Scotland project lead at the University of Glasgow, said: "Mosquito-borne diseases are increasingly likely to get a foothold in the UK, including in Scotland, as our environment continues to change."...

Virus from marine animals is causing weird eye problems in people A virus that ordinarily affects marine animals has caused glaucoma-like symptoms and even irreversible vision loss in a small but growing group of people in China. This is the first known time that a virus that originates from aquatic animals has infected people and caused ill health. The cases are thought to have developed after eating raw seafood and handling aquatic animals, but there are also signs of human-to-human transmission. “That this virus can infect invertebrates, fish and mammals is pretty remarkable,” says Edward Holmes at the University of Sydney, Australia. “I can’t think of a virus with such a broad host range.” Cases of a condition called persistent ocular hypertension viral anterior uveitis (POH-VAU) have been increasing in China, with no clear cause. It is defined as inflammation and high pressure within the eye, similar to glaucoma, which damages the optic nerve and can cause vision loss. To understand why cases are increasing, a team of researchers – including scientists at the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences in Qingdao – recruited 70 people in China who were diagnosed with the condition between January 2022 and April 2025. They tested this cohort for covert mortality nodavirus, which infects a range...

Health advice for women returning from areas with a risk of Zika virus General advice and information for women returning from areas at risk of Zika virus transmission who are pregnant or are planning pregnancy Advice for pregnant women who are diagnosed with Zika virus Advice for pregnant women whose baby is thought to be affected by Zika virus This guidance provides supporting information only and does not take the place of a face-to-face consultation with a doctor or midwife. Any woman who is concerned following travel to an area where Zika virus is present is encouraged to discuss this with a healthcare professional such as their doctor or midwife. Background Zika virus is mainly spread by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. A much smaller number of cases have been spread by sexual contact. Most people have few or no symptoms if they get Zika virus. If symptoms occur, they are usually mild and last around 2 to 7 days. Serious complications and deaths from Zika virus are uncommon. Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause birth defects such as microcephaly (small head size) and problems with brain development. Research suggests that between 4% and 6% of infants born to mothers who have had a Zika virus infection during pregnancy have a birth...

Chikungunya virus persists in joint-associated macrophages and promotes chronic disease in mice To elucidate mechanisms of chronic CHIKV disease, we used a wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mouse model of CHIKV infection that recapitulates many of the hallmarks of arthritic disease observed in patients infected with CHIKV14. Initially, we evaluated joint-associated tissue for signs of inflammation during the chronic stage (that is, 28 days post-infection (dpi)). This time point was selected based on previous studies35 showing immune-mediated clearance of an attenuated vaccine strain of CHIKV, but not WT CHIKV strains, from joint-associated tissues by 28 dpi. Previous studies39,40,41,42 of acute CHIKV infection in mice showed elevated pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-1β, TNF, NLRP3, major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) and IFNγ. Following subcutaneous virus inoculation in the footpad, the ipsilateral ankle of CHIKV-infected mice at the chronic stage of infection also displayed an inflammatory gene expression signature characterized by heightened expression of Tnf, Nlrp3, Il1b, Ifng and H2-Aa (MHC-II) (Fig. 1a). NLRP3 is a component of the inflammasome involving caspase 1 or caspase 8, which cleave pro-IL-1β to the functional form, IL-1β43. Notably, TNF and IL-1β expression from macrophages has been implicated in cartilage and collagen destruction in RA44,45. Next, we analysed cells present in joint-associated tissue at 28 dpi using scRNA-seq (Fig. 1b)...

#Virus is annoyed by sweat molecule.

Tiny molecule in sweat may stop the flu virus before it starts Most people assume the body only reacts after a virus enters, but that’s not entirely true. Quiet defense systems are already working in the background, and one may be stronger than we realized. Scientists from the Fisabio Foundation and several research centers have found something interesting about a molecule called dermcidin. This molecule is always present in the body and is usually linked with sweat. Earlier, scientists knew it could kill bacteria and fungi. Now, research shows it can also fight the influenza virus. Stopping the virus before it starts The flu virus depends on a protein called hemagglutinin to enter human cells. Without this entry step, the virus cannot survive or spread. Dermcidin interrupts this process in a direct and effective way. “Dermcidin, which is present in sweat and known for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity, also exhibits antiviral activity against the influenza virus and can interfere with infection, as we have observed in in-vitro and in-vivo models,” noted Dr. María D. Ferrer, lead author of the study. Instead of attacking the virus after infection, dermcidin acts early. It attaches to hemagglutinin and changes its shape. Once that shape shifts, the virus loses its ability to merge with the...
