🇮🇹 Un nuovo caso di Peste Suina Africana (PSA) è stato confermato in un allevamento suinicolo a Vigolzone, in provincia di Piacenza. Si tratta del secondo caso nella regione in pochi mesi, dopo un episodio simile avvenuto a luglio a Ponte dell’Olio. Il virus è stato rilevato nelle carcasse provenienti da un allevamento da riproduzione, con conferma da parte dell’IZSLER - Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Lombardia e dell'Emilia Romagna e del Centro di Referenza Nazionale. Le autorità regionali hanno attuato rapidamente le normative europee, includendo la difficile ma necessaria decisione di abbattere circa 2.000 capi per evitare ulteriori contagi. Sebbene la PSA non rappresenti una minaccia diretta per la #salute umana, il suo impatto sul benessere animale e sull'economia zootecnica sono rilevanti. Questo episodio sottolinea l'importanza cruciale di rafforzare le misure di biosicurezza negli allevamenti e ridurre i rischi di trasmissione per via aerea e ambientale. In #e4life, supportiamo l’approccio One Health, integrando salute animale, umana e ambientale. Con il nostro dispositivo e4life farm, gli allevatori possono ridurre i rischi virali trasmissibili per via aerea e proteggere efficacemente il bestiame. Insieme, possiamo costruire un futuro più sicuro e sostenibile per il settore zootecnico. 🇬🇧 A new case of African Swine Fever (ASF) has been confirmed in a pig farm in Vigolzone, in the province of Piacenza. This marks the second case in the region within a few months, following a similar outbreak in July in Ponte dell’Olio. The virus was detected in carcasses from a breeding facility, with confirmation provided by the Institute for Experimental Veterinary Research of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, and the National Reference Center. Regional authorities promptly implemented European regulations, including the difficult but necessary decision to cull approximately 2,000 pigs to prevent further spread. While ASF does not pose a direct threat to human #health, its impact on animal welfare and the #livestock economy are significant. This case highlights the critical importance of strengthening biosecurity measures on #farms and minimizing the risk of airborne and environmental transmission. At e4life, we support the One Health approach, integrating animal, human, and environmental health. With our e4life farm device, farmers can reduce airborne viral risks and protect livestock effectively. Together, we can build a safer and more sustainable future for the animal farming sector. #e4shield #e4lifefarm #onehealth #italy #italia

Did you know that your #immunesystem has a powerful defense strategy? When a pathogen, like a #virus, enters the body, the immune system springs into action. The first line of defense includes barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as specialized cells that attempt to neutralize the invader. This innate response is crucial to slow the infection and give the body time to prepare for a more targeted response. If the infection persists, the adaptive immune system takes over. T cells directly attack infected cells, while B cells produce #antibodies that bind to the virus, making it easier to eliminate. Once the battle is won, the immune system creates a "memory" of the pathogen, enabling a faster and stronger response in case of future exposure. A strong immune system is the key to staying healthy. A balanced diet rich in #vitamins and minerals, regular exercise, quality sleep, and stress management are essential to keeping your defenses in top shape. Let's protect ourselves and support our body's natural defenses! #e4life #e4shield #health #salute

The #pandemic threat is evolving rapidly, reshaping the #globalhealth landscape in ways previously unimagined. The GPMB 2024 report highlights how the intersection of intensive #farming, #climatechange, and #wildlife trade is creating new pathways for #pathogens to emerge. This complex network of factors requires a "One Health" approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental #health. Inequities in access to health resources represent a critical vulnerability in our global defense system. The COVID-19 experience has shown how a lack of equity in the distribution of vaccines and medical devices can undermine the effectiveness of the #pandemic response. Further complicating the picture, ongoing armed conflicts are hampering the ability to detect and contain infectious diseases in many regions of the world. The "fourth industrial revolution" offers promising tools to strengthen our pandemic preparedness, but it requires a coordinated and inclusive governmental approach. #Biomedical innovations, combined with advanced surveillance systems and transparent governance, are essential to building an effective response. Only through equitable and sustainable global collaboration can we hope to effectively prevent and manage future health crises. #covid19 #e4life #e4shield #onehealth

The United States has confirmed its first severe case of H5N1 #avianinfluenza in a #human. The patient, hospitalized in Louisiana, was exposed to sick birds raised in their backyard. The #virus, identified as genotype D1.1, has also been detected in wild birds and poultry in the #US, as well as in recent human cases in Canada and Washington State. Since 2024, 61 human cases of avian influenza have been reported in the US, mostly presenting mild symptoms. However, H5N1, known for its high fatality rates in other countries, demands significant attention. While the risk of human-to-human transmission remains low, those working with infected #animals are at greater risk. California has declared a state of emergency to enhance containment and #prevention measures. The #CDC advises avoiding contact with sick animals and adopting stringent #biosecurity practices. In this context, #e4life’s One Health approach becomes vital: integrating human, animal, and environmental #health is key to preventing the spread of zoonotic pathogens. With e4shield™ #technology, we work to mitigate risks in #livestock farming and safeguard collective well-being. Discover how our solutions can make a difference for a safer #future. #e4shield #unitedstates #onehealth

The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) has released its 2024 report "The Changing Face of #Pandemic Risk," highlighting how pandemics are no longer rare events but a constant threat in the 21st century. The analysis reveals that global interconnectedness, urbanization and environmental changes have created ideal conditions for the emergence and rapid spread of infectious diseases. The report identifies 15 key #risk drivers, divided into social, technological, environmental, economic and political categories. Among them, #globalmobility, #agricultural practices, misinformation and trust in institutions emerge as critical factors that require immediate attention to mitigate future risks. The GPMB emphasizes the importance of the #OneHealth approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental #health. This integrated perspective is critical to addressing emerging challenges, especially in human-animal-environment interface areas where the risk of pathogen spillover is highest. Preparing for future pandemics therefore requires a holistic approach that integrates #environmental surveillance, #animal and #human health, supported by strong international collaboration. The report highlights how this One Health strategy, combined with equity in access to countermeasures, is essential to building effective global #resilience. #e4shield #e4life #e4lifefarm
