🔬 Jossua Calvo Campos (University of Costa Rica / CENIBIOT) searched 200 public tick genomes for traces of hosts and pathogens. Out of 559 host species detected, only 18 held up after validation. What does that mean for reusing archive data?

🦇 Thavry Hoem (Institut Pasteur du Cambodge), from our own #BCOMING team, followed a horseshoe bat population in northern Cambodia over time. How do their reproductive cycles relate to sarbecovirus prevalence?

🌱 Daniel Dornan (University of Helsinki, BEPREP) looked at 13 nature restoration projects in 11 countries. Can restoring nature lower zoonotic disease risk, and why is it so rarely part of the plan?

1/2 🌍 One Health challenges do not respect disciplinary boundaries, and neither will this conference. Ahead of #OneHealthDay, five European initiatives are joining forces to give young researchers the floor and share fresh work across biodiversity and health. 🧵 🎟️ Register for free: bit.ly/4scQUSp

💚 We survived #WOHC2026, the pastéis de nata and 3,000+ photos! From our final #BCOMING meeting and documentary screening to a joint booth, scientific sessions, our shared brief and the launch of the One Health KEN, Lisbon kept us busy. Full recap soon! 📸

🐌 Around two millimetres long and new to science.  🔙 This #ThrowbackThursday, we’re revisiting the first record of the microsnail genus Clostophis in Cambodia in this #BCOMING publication. 👇   📖 bit.ly/4igmo78

🌿 The One Health Knowledge Exchange Network is now live! Connecting biodiversity, ecosystem change and health through stronger collaboration, knowledge exchange and policy engagement. 🔗 Learn more, explore the portal and join the community: linktr.ee/onehealthKEN

🌿 Kudos to @restoreideu.bsky.social and @biodiversa.eu for their new #PolicyBrief exploring how #OneHealth considerations can be integrated into ecosystem restoration planning. 👏 Read more on it on the links in their post! 👇

How can nature restoration reduce zoonotic risk? New @Biodiversa.eu brief, developed with contributions from RESTOREID researchers, calls for One Health to be integrated into restoration planning. 📖 Read our overview: bit.ly/4qWwGf7 📄 Explore the brief: bit.ly/4gsQLVf

👀 Revisiting a #BCOMING publication on eDNA and mammal surveys. Analysing 28 studies and 900+ mammal taxa, the authors found that eDNA works well for many large mammals, but traditional methods still outperform it for groups such as bats. 📖 doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

📚 Revisiting a BCOMING publication on One Health. The paper introduces the concept of "infectious bubbles": areas where poverty, inadequate hygiene, and degraded biodiversity intersect, creating conditions that can increase infectious disease risk. 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.on... #BCOMING #OneHealth

🦟 Stopping the Mosquito Effect starts with simple actions, like removing standing water and using repellents. Protecting yourself helps protect your community too. #TheMosquitoEffect #BCOMING

🦟 Mosquito-borne diseases are no longer just a tropical concern. With the spread of the tiger mosquito across Europe, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and West Nile virus are becoming a growing challenge. #TheMosquitoEffect #BCOMING

🦟 Malaria and dengue are the two major mosquito-borne diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. Their impact extends beyond health, affecting healthcare systems, economies, and entire communities. #TheMosquitoEffect #BCOMING

🦟 What's the deadliest animal on Earth? Mosquitoes. They contribute to an estimated 700,000–1 million deaths each year through diseases like malaria, dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. #TheMosquitoEffect #BCOMING #OneHealth

🦋 You know the Butterfly Effect. 🦟 Now meet the #TheMosquitoEffect A tiny insect with a surprisingly big impact on health, disease, and the environment. Follow the series to learn more. #BCOMING #OneHealth
