🌠🚨PRODUCT LAUNCH🚨🌠 In light of the ever-intensifying situation with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (HPAI H5N1), the scientists at Virongy Biosciences, Inc. have developed an HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b pseudovirus 🧬🦠 modeled after an isolate taken from the Texas dairy farm worker 🐄 who became infected with the virus in late March. HPAI H5N1 viruses have been on the CDC's watchlist for a while now. They are particularly dangerous because they have the capability to spread from mammal-to-mammal 🐄➡️🐈. HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b first entered the Northern Hemisphere in 2021. When it spread, it spread fast and hard. Officially classified as an outbreak, a recent article released by the CDC describes how the virus has turned fatal for cats who are drinking unpasteurized milk 🥛 from infected cows. The article also warns about how HPAI viruses have pandemic potential🌎 Already, three dairy cattle workers have been infected in the United States - two in Michigan and one in Texas. Though their symptoms have been mild and each has since recovered, the deadly potential of these viruses have been displayed in countries like Ecuador and Chile where humans have contracted HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b and become seriously ill 🤒 Together, we can prevent the HPAI H5N1 pandemic before it happens. Our Hybrid-Alpha HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b Pseudoviral Neutralization Assay Kit serves as a platform for quick, easy, and reliable quantification of neutralizing antibodies, viral variants, and antiviral drugs 💊 Help us protect both humans and animals alike from HPAI H5N1 before the situation becomes out-of-hand 🛡️ Learn more about HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b by visiting this article released by the CDC: https://lnkd.in/gNXnAzVE Visit our product page to learn more about our new Hybrid-Alpha HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b Pseudoviral Neutralization Assay Kit: https://lnkd.in/e6divRkB #H5N1 #AvianInfluenza #ProductLaunch #Virology #Science

🚨📰BREAKING NEWS!!!🚨📰 Yesterday, May 30th, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a statement confirming the THIRD case of H5 Bird Flu in a human in the United States 😮 This is now the second highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) case in the state of Michigan. Like the other two cases in Michigan and Texas, the individual works on a dairy farm and was exposed to infected cows 🦠🐄 Thus far, the CDC has found one major difference between this case and the previous two: the person who contracted HPAI DID display symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. These included: ➡️ Cough 😮💨 ➡️ Eye watering 💧 ➡️ Eye discomfort 👁️ The patient was given oseltamivir, an antiviral treatment for influenza viruses, and is recovering well 🏥 Now the question is, has the CDC changed it's public human health risk assessment? 🤔 In short, no, it hasn't. The CDC stresses that these cases are sporadic. Although individuals who are frequently exposed to infected or potentially infected animals should be taking extra precautions 🧤😷, the CDC's assessment of the general public's health risk remains low.

It's #FunFactFriday 🤓 Did you know that as of March 31st, 2024, 7 countries generate 99.7% of their electric energy ⚡ from renewable sources ♻️🤯?!? These seven countries are Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. On top of this, another 40 countries produced at least 50% of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind💨, water🌊, solar☀️, and geothermal🌋 energies. That's a whole lot of renewable energy! 🌎 Click the link below to learn more about who's using renewable energy: https://lnkd.in/drESySC8 #renewablepower #technology #funfact #Progress #Global

From the scientific journal Nature: "Millions of people died of COVID-19 because the fundamental principle of equity between nations was ignored during the outbreak. That must not be allowed to happen again" Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/epZDwRhU

📰🚨 Newsletter Alert! 📰🚨 Ever wondered how we got from the discovery 🔍 of lentiviruses as a viral genus to lentiviral gene therapy 🧬📦? This month, we're delving into the Science of Lentiviruses. From their discovery all the way to the third generation of lentiviral vectors, our May newsletter is going to talk about everything Lentivirus 🦠! To pique your interest 🧐, we've highlighted several fun facts from the newsletter: 1. The first lentiviral vector use as a tool for gene therapy was derived from the notorious human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 🦠 2. Some lentiviruses have incubation periods of months or even years 🤯 3. In 1843 in France, what would later be called Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) ravaged horses and became the first recorded lentiviral outbreak 🐎 4. Lentiviruses are able to permanently incorporate transgenes into host cells - making them ideal gene therapy candidates 🧬 5. Lentiviruses can infect infect both dividing and non-dividing cells - again making them ideal gene therapy candidates 🧫 6. A scientists named Didier Trono is credited with the idea of creating a vector for gene delivery using the lentivirus HIV-1 👨🔬 7. To date, there exist three lentiviral packaging systems - with the third being the safest and most efficient system yet 📦 8. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved of about a dozen lentiviral gene therapies - and more approvals are surely not far behind 📃 To get the full scoop🥄, read our Science of Lentiviruses Newsletter here: https://conta.cc/4aH0naq For more interesting biotech facts and news, subscribe to our monthly newsletter: https://rb.gy/isydg 🧠 #lentivirus #biotech #history
