Washington Reports Four New Bird Flu Cases in Farmworkers, US Tally Reaches 31
Washington state recently confirmed four new bird flu cases among farmworkers, bringing the national total to 31. The virus, spread widely among animals, has shown no signs of human-to-human transmission yet, according to health experts. Workers reportedly experienced mild symptoms. As flu season approaches, experts warn of potential viral genetic ...

Mpox Vaccines Prequalified by WHO, Shipped to Africa to Contain the Outbreak
The arrival of mpox vaccines in Africa, particularly the Jynneos vaccine from Bavarian Nordic, aims to combat a significant resurgence of the virus, especially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The World Health Organization has reported approximately 6,000 confirmed cases across 15 African nations, with concerns about transmission dynamics, ...

COVID-19 Virus’ Link That Potentially Increases Brain Infection Risk Found, Claims Study
A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...
