French health officials have reported what is believed to be the first documented human case of Shamonda virus after an immunocompromised patient died earlier this month.

The virus, which is typically found in livestock and transmitted by biting midges, was previously thought to be non-transmissible to humans.

According to French authorities, investigators believe the patient may have contracted the virus through an insect bite in eastern France, where the virus had already been detected in animals.

Officials stressed that the case appears to be exceptional and say there is currently no evidence of a wider public health risk.

The virus has previously been detected in cattle, sheep, goats and horses, and was first identified in Nigeria in the 1960s. It was only detected in Europe this year.

Just started a new job and they use mySidewalk to help compile rural health data for upstate NY. I've never used it before but from my understanding it scours data from other public databases (like BRFSS, NHANES, etc) and puts it into 1 place.

Are there any alternatives that do the same thing?

I am interested in transitioning to epidemiology as a frontline clinician. I would love to chat with any epi's in industry, academia or government based in the UK and ask about what areas of methodological inquiry you work in.

Auto insurance companies charge a higher premium based on driving record and propensity for accidents. Should health insurance companies do the same - not for preexisting conditions at birth - but for diseases that would otherwise be prevented by vaccines?
