  1. 364. Can Wastewater-Based Epidemiology and Artificial Intelligence Predict Nosocomial Infections?
    Folker Meyer (Universität Duisburg-Essen)
    10/5/26, 4:45 PM
    Novel Methods, Technologies & AI
    Oral presentation

    Early detection and prediction of nosocomial infections remain major challenges for hospital infection control and antimicrobial stewardship programs. In this study, we evaluated the potential of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) combined with shotgun metagenomics and artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in a large tertiary-care hospital...

  2. 447. Immune function and Coronavirus prevalence in straw-coloured fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) at the Human-bat Interface in Nigeria
    Chinedu I. Ngene (Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research Berlin. Free University Berlin, Germany)
    10/5/26, 5:00 PM
    Pandemic Preparedness & Prevention
    Oral presentation

    Straw-coloured fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) is a widely distributed African tropical bat species. They are a known reservoir for coronaviruses and well-adapted to anthropogenic environments, both in urban and rural areas. Despite their reservoir role, there is lack of information how anthropogenic activities could influence bat physiology and viral shedding. In this study we investigated the...

  3. 380. BTN3A3 resistance of emerging influenza A viruses is shaped by Mx1 of mammalian intermediate host species.
    Jamina Molsen (Institute of Virology, Medical Center University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany)
    10/5/26, 5:15 PM
    Pandemic Preparedness & Prevention
    Oral presentation

    Zoonotic infections with influenza A viruses (IAVs) of animal-origin are typically self-limiting but can occasionally give rise to pandemics provided human host barriers are overcome. The recently identified human BTN3A3 (butyrophilin subfamily 3 member A3) is a potent restriction factor for zoonotic IAVs. Human-adapted IAVs overcome BTN3A3 restriction through adaptive residues 52 (N, H, Q) or...

  4. 408. Community-Centred One Health Preparedness for Ebola Virus Disease in a Transboundary Biodiversity Hotspot: Evidence from the Greater Virunga Landscape (GVL), Uganda
    Ms Jenifer Nancy Alaba (WWF Uganda Country Office), mugisha kwiringira (Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), Uganda Country Office)
    10/5/26, 5:30 PM
    Pandemic Preparedness & Prevention
    Oral presentation

    The Greater Virunga Landscape (GVL), spanning Uganda, Rwanda, and DRC, is a biodiversity hotspot where wildlife-human-livestock interactions and fragile health systems drive zoonotic risk. In May 2026, Uganda confirmed an Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak imported from DRC; by 2 June, 15 cases were confirmed, prompting a WHO PHEIC. No vaccine or treatment exists.
    Between 1-9 June 2026, the...

  5. 524. One Health Systems Readiness Assessment in Croatia, Ghana and Nigeria: Development of an Assessment Tool for Evidence-informed Policy Making
    Anna Fahrion (Friedrich Loeffler Institut FLI)
    10/5/26, 5:45 PM
    Pandemic Preparedness & Prevention
    Oral presentation

    While One Health (OH) principles are widely recognized, countries have yet to fully embed them into operational governance systems, slowing progress on coordinated efforts to address zoonotic transmission, AMR, and environmental health. The “KOHSRA” tool was developed to assess national readiness for OH implementation and to identify governance and policy gaps, and piloted in Croatia, Ghana,...

  6. 516. Stigmatization in the context of a pandemic: Implications for pandemic preparedness
    Mr Samuel Tomczyk (Universitätsmedizin Rostock)
    10/5/26, 6:00 PM
    Pandemic Preparedness & Prevention
    Oral presentation

    Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was not only a global health crisis but also a catalyst for stigmatization processes. In the BMFTR-funded “StiPEx” project, we integrate qualitative and quantitative methods to conduct a comprehensive analysis of these stigmatization processes and develop anti-stigma guidelines and toolkits for pandemic preparedness.

    Methods: Through systematic reviews, we...
