Airport screening for infectious diseases relies on layers of protection. Thermal scanners miss asymptomatic carriers, but broad travel restrictions and the CDC Do Not Board list offer stronger containment. #PublicHealth #Aviation #TravelSafety #Epidemiology #GlobalHealth #BorderControl

How International Airports Screen for Infectious Diseases: Methods, Effectiveness, and Real-World Protocols

Airport screening for infectious diseases is a set of public health measures applied at border entry and exit points to detect and delay the spread of communicable illnesses. Authorities rely on a layered approach to monitor crowds.

Is anyone in the US CDC / NIH even working on the Ebola Bundibugyo strain now?

Over a year ago labs these were shuttered

RFK Jr.’s HHS Orders Lab Studying Deadly Infectious Diseases to Stop Research

NIAID’s Integrated Research Facility is one of the few federal facilities charged with studying Ebola. Tuesday afternoon, all of its work was put on indefinite pause by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s department.

International borders manage disease surveillance during mass events through syndromic screening and the WHO IHR framework. Closing borders is scientifically ineffective because it pushes travelers to unmonitored crossings. #PublicHealth #Biosecurity #Epidemiology #GlobalHealth #Travel

How International Borders Manage Infectious Disease Surveillance During Mass Gatherings

International borders manage infectious disease surveillance during mass events by deploying syndromic screening protocols, verifying vaccination records, and enforcing international legal health frameworks at designated points of entry.

Climate change is progressively exacerbating respiratory diseases through the increased frequency and intensity of environmental hazards such as wildfire smoke, extreme heat, flooding, and extended pollen seasons. These compounding risks are reversing decades of air quality progress and placing immense strain on public health infrastructure.

The hantavirus CFR is probably overstated. Severe cases get counted; mild ones don't. Same error as early COVID estimates.

But correcting the number isn't reassuring. CDC lost a third of its staff. US withdrew from WHO. HHS is ideologically captured.

We are in worse shape than January 2020.

🚨 AI is entering the fight against malaria.

MalarAI combines geospatial modelling, mobility analytics, climate data, and epidemiology to track how malaria spreads across populations.

🌍 Starting in Zanzibar, the project aims to identify transmission hotspots in near real time and support precision-targeted malaria elimination strategies.
