Bundibugyo virus is an uncommon species of Ebola-causing virus that has been linked to only two other known outbreaks
Higher education groups are lobbying the Education Department to revise proposed regulations that could cut off aid for thousands of programs whose graduates earn meager salaries, including in cosmetology, theology and the performing arts.
This is such a moving piece. If your interested in #Ebola — the damage it causes, the trauma families and communities and responders face during and after an outbreak — please read it. www.statnews.com/2026/05/20/e...

There are no vaccines that target the Ebola species causing the current outbreak in DRC/Uganda, but some are in the works, including an mRNA vaccine, @pauladepoju.bsky.social writes @sciam.bsky.social 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/vacc...

The ongoing Ebola outbreak is caused by the rare Bundibugyo species. Here's what we know about the disease it causes, @clairemaldarelli.bsky.social writes @sciam.bsky.social 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/rare...

Screwworm is officially back in the U.S. A juvenile cow in Zavala County, Texas, was found to be infected by the flesh-eating parasite, which can infect livestock (and occasionally, humans). It was previously eliminated here in 1966. @sciam.bsky.social 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-fl...
I talked to the researchers at the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory about their race to develop a PCR test for hantavirus in a weekend, before passengers on the MV Hondius arrived

A decade after Ebola vaccines changed outbreak response, a new epidemic in central Africa is caused by a strain the world never fully prepared for

Researchers at the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory worked round the clock to develop a test for the Andes virus at the center of the deadly cruise ship outbreak
Speculation that the first hantavirus cases in the current outbreak started at a dump in Argentina popular with birders does not appear to hold up to scrutiny, my colleague @katewong.bsky.social writes @sciam.bsky.social 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/doub...

The hantavirus cruise outbreak may not have started in a garbage dump in Ushuaia, Argentina, after allwww.scientificamerican.com
I spoke about the potential for airborne transmission of hantavirus, and Josh Santarpia talked about the National Quarantine Unit. I visited it last year; it's a critical resource for the country. @virginiatech.bsky.social @pppda.bsky.social
The hantavirus outbreak is reviving questions about airborne transmission from the early days of COVID. Hantavirus is not COVID, but we shouldn't rule out the possibility that it can spread through the air. My story @sciam.bsky.social 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-...

This marks the first case of the New World screwworm in U.S. livestock since the parasite was eliminated in the country in the 1960s
The Andes type of the hantavirus is spread by “close contact,” but it’s unclear how much of that transmission occurs by inhaling airborne droplets or other means
