Job Alert‼️ Postdoc @tamuvetmed Ideal candidate: PhD #Parasitology Experience in molecular parasitology, lab skills qPCR/NGS/ELISA Helminth Diag #Guineaworm🪱  tamus.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/TAMU_External/… @Zapworms @herminthology @ASTMH @CarterCenter @Parasitologyjo1 @AAVParasit @AmSocParasit


Agree with Fig. 1 and 2, but reducing livestock production won’t stop deforestation, especially coming from a LMIC whose main produce and exports are fruits and vegetables for human consumption. A plant-based diet won’t change pathogen emergence

A must read for anyone interested in drivers for disease emergence. I particularly like this graphic, showing that transition areas (ecotones) are associated with increased disease emergence risk. thelancet.com/action/showPdf…
