Maryn McKenna has an important and illuminating post on gaps in our surveillance systems and the surprising ways that antibiotic resistant bacteria may be moving around, and off of, farms.
Go read it, and I’ll be back with a brief note.
Farm antibiotics, human illness and what connects them. (It has legs.)
As an interesting aside, from time-to-time over the past 5 years, flies have also been mentioned as possible vectors of bird flu as well. You’ll find a few of my blogs on the subject listed below.
Indonesian Updates And Vector Concerns
Houseflies Revisited
Cats and Dogs and Flies, Oh My!
All of which shows that the interconnections between man, other species, pathogens, and possible vectors are complex.
And our understanding of how they fit together remains limited.
