University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 Marin County Public Health in California yesterday urged consumers to avoid drinking raw milk and said it is investigating a suspected avian flu infection in a child who experienced fever and vomiting after drinking raw milk. Meanwhile, a large swath of states is seeing no let-up in H5 avian flu developments, with a wastewater detection on a second Hawaiian island, several more confirmations in California dairy cows, and new poultry outbreaks

“If this child, who has not been identified, is confirmed to have been infected with H5N1 through milk consumption, it will be the first such case recorded in the United States…there is a decent chance the infection will not be confirmed” https://t.co/WXRuwF3EGF

University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 A new systematic review of 373 studies reveals the detection of 22 viruses in human semen following acute infection, including pathogens with pandemic potential. The study was published yesterday in The Lancet Microbe, and shows that only 9 of the 22 viruses had evidence of sexual transmission. The persistence of viruses in semen has far-reaching implications for ongoing disease transmission, embryonic development and fertility, and the

Background The combination antimalarial artefenomel-piperaquine failed to achieve target efficacy in a phase 2b study in Africa and Vietnam. We retrospectively evaluated whether characterizing the pharmacological interaction of this antimalarial combination in a volunteer infection study (VIS) would have enabled prediction of the phase 2b study results. Methods Twenty-four healthy adults enrolled over three consecutive cohorts were inoculated with Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes on day 0. Participants were randomized within each cohort to one of seven dose combination groups and administered a single oral dose of artefenomel-piperaquine on day 8. Participants received definitive antimalarial treatment with artemether-lumefantrine upon parasite regrowth or on day 42 ± 2. The general pharmacodynamic interaction (GPDI) model implemented in the Bliss Independence additivity criterion was developed to characterize the pharmacological interaction between artefenomel and piperaqui
