Mashup Score: 45Share all SARS-CoV-2 data immediately - 1 month(s) ago
When the first cases of human infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were reported from Wuhan, China, in December 2019, there was quick agreement across scientific and health communities that understanding the facts …

Mashup Score: 213Acute respiratory infections complicated by malaria (previously undiagnosed disease) - Democratic Republic of the Congo - 2 month(s) ago
This is an update to the Disease Outbreak News on Undiagnosed disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo published on 8 December 2024 (now named acute respiratory infections complicated by malaria). It includes updated epidemiological investigation information and preliminary laboratory results. On 29 November, an alert was raised by local health zone authorities of Panzi health zone in Kwango province after an increase in deaths, particularly among children under five years of age, following febrile illness. Enhanced epidemiological surveillance was rapidly implemented, which in the absence of a clear diagnosis was based on the detection of syndromic cases of febrile illnesses with cough, body weakness, with one of a number of other symptoms compatible with acute respiratory and febrile illnesses. This resulted in a rapid increase in the number of cases meeting the definition, with a total of 891 cases reported as of 16 December. However, the weekly number of reported deaths (48

Mashup Score: 67Statement on the antigen composition of COVID-19 vaccines - 2 month(s) ago
The WHO Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) continues to closely monitor the genetic and antigenic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants, immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination, and the performance of COVID-19 vaccines against circulating variants. Based on these evaluations, WHO advises vaccine manufacturers and regulatory authorities on the implications for future updates to COVID-19 vaccine antigen composition.

🆕 @WHO #TAGCOVAC advises retaining the current #COVID19 vaccine antigen composition, i.e. a monovalent JN.1 lineage variant. Vaccination is an important (one of many) public health countermeasure against COVID-19 acute disease, #LongCOVID, and death. https://t.co/LcJO9Sh1hu
