As news of the Marburg cases in Rwanda spreads, I want to share some thoughts on where the outbreak stands, what will likely come next, and why this outbreak may (hopefully) end up being unlike other viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks in the past 🧵

There is much discussion among scientists on heavily mutated Omicron sequences (n=3) from Israel and Denmark. It is important to note that this new clade (in discussion if BA.2 mutated or a new BA.6 lineage) has lost one of qPCR markers due to 69-70 deletion in Spike (common in Alpha, Omicron BA.1, BA.5, etc). In the current circulating lineages (XBB.1.5, EG.5, etc) this deletion do not exist allowing to track this new mutated linages with qPCR - See our previous paper in Science highlighting how qPCR can help to track variants - science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Three of a Kind: CDC researchers find Cyclospora is not just a single species.
Not too long ago, bench microscopy and O&P were the definitive standard for Cyclospora diagnostics and outbreak investigation. Without culture, molecular methods were too hard.
