  1. 212. Geographic dispersal of West Nile and Usutu virus in Berlin, 2023-24

    Oral presentation

    West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are closely related arboviruses that circulate between birds and Culex mosquitoes. WNV infection can cause severe neurological disease while USUV is considered non-pathogenic in humans. This study examined the geographic dispersal and infection rates in mosquitoes of both viruses across Berlin.
    Mosquitoes were collected across Berlin covering 50...

  2. 323. More than the Sum of Its Parts: Combining Genomic and Epidemiological Data for Comprehensive and Sustainable Pathogen Surveillance
    Felix Hartkopf (Robert Koch-Institut)

    One Health in Public Health
    Oral presentation

    Interconnecting multiple fields and methods has become a crucial part of surveillance systems throughout the recent decade. In this work, we developed a system to integrate data from Germany's mandatory notifications for infections with genomic data in a continuous manner. This constant flow of integrated data enables new insights into the dynamics of and serves as a benchmark for detecting...

    Oral presentation

    In an EU Horizon program funded project, a prototype of a mobile laboratory was developed, combining proven mobile units with advanced high-security laboratory architecture in a optimized space. This innovative, game-changing laboratory can be easily transported to remote outbreak areas, and swiftly set up as a fully functional diagnostic laboratory for processing human, veterinary, and...

  4. 224. NGS-based genomic surveillance of West Nile virus in a One Health framework
    Ms Anne Schwarzer (Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut)
    10/14/25, 2:30 PM
    One Health in Public Health
    Oral presentation

    West Nile virus (WNV) circulates primarily in an enzootic transmission cycle between Culex mosquitoes and birds, with mammals serving as accidental hosts. Humans infections can be asymptomatic or lead to flu-like symptoms, severe neurological disease and even death. WNV has been found almost worldwide, with the number of infections in humans and animals in Germany increasing over the last...

  5. 204. Assessment of Toxic Heavy Metals in Soil, Vegetables and Grasses Irrigated with Healthcare Wastewater and Associated Health Risks in the Akaki River Catchment, Central Ethiopia
    Dr Jirata Shiferaw Abosse (Addis Ababa University, College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture)
    10/14/25, 2:45 PM
    One Health in Public Health
    Oral presentation

    Healthcare facilities generate wastewater that contain a variety of potentially toxic heavy metals, including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and zinc (Zn), which are often discharged into nearby rivers. This study investigates the concentration of heavy metals in healthcare wastewater (HCWW) released into the Akaki River Catchment (ARC) and assesses its potential health and...

  6. 250. Genomic Characterization of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza Viruses in Wild and Domestic Animals in Argentina Using a One Health Approach
    Agustina Rimondi (Robert Koch-Intitut)
    10/14/25, 3:00 PM
    One Health in Public Health
    Oral presentation

    In 2022, HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b (B3.2 genotype) reached South America, causing poultry outbreaks, mass die-offs in marine mammals, and a severe human case in Chile, highlighting its zoonotic potential.
    Through collaborative efforts between virologists, ecologists, and public/veterinary health agencies, full-genome sequences of H5N1 viruses in Argentina were generated and we identified two...
