(Credit: Catherine McQueen / Getty Images) A New Jersey assisted living community was among many "unwitting healthcare providers" across the country duped into hiring more than 7,600 nurses with fake credentials due to a $114 million fraud scheme, according to the federal government.  The Department of Justice announced federal charges last week against 25 nursing school recruiters, owners and managers for a wire fraud scheme that created an illegal licensing and employment shortcut for aspiring nurses. Dubbed "Operational Nightingale," the investigation resulted in search warrants in five states: Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Texas and Florida. "What is disturbing about this investigation is that there are over 7,600 people around the country with fraudulent nursing credentials who are potentially in critical healthcare roles treating patients," Special Agent in Charge Chad Yarbrough with the FBI Miam...

The increasing global concern about rising antimicrobial resistance has led to a growing interest in alternative approaches to preventing and controlling infectious diseases. One approach is to enhance animal resilience. Wijnen defines resilience as the ability of an animal to cope with environmental disruptions, such as infectious diseases, and reorganise with a minimal loss of function. Resilience to infectious diseases can be studied by measuring 3 complementary aspects: resistance to becoming infected, tolerance during infection, and recovery from the infection. "The vast majority of animal health research focuses on only 1 of these 3 aspects, whereas all 3 of them need to be included to draw sound conclusions on the actual ability to cope with diseases. In my research, I looked at overall poultry resilience to intestinal and respiratory diseases instead," says Wijnen. "It's intriguing that relatively small deviations in eggshell temperature during incubation can...

It's like a script for a disaster movie that everyone has already seen. Europe is going through the most devastating bird flu epidemic in its history, with more than 50 million poultry slaughtered in one year. At the beginning of autumn, seagulls and gannets killed by this virus appeared on the beaches of Spain's northwestern Galicia region. Days later, in early October, American mink began to die of hemorrhagic pneumonia on a fur farm in Carral, a few minutes' drive from the city of A Coruña. Mortality in this outbreak exceeded 4% in a single week. A scientific study now suggests that the avian flu virus jumped from wild birds to mink and mutated on the farm, beginning to spread from mammal to mammal but failing to infect mask-wearing farm workers. This outbreak has set off alarm bells across the planet. The Dutch virologist Marion Koopmans, who traced the origin of the Covid pandemic for the World Health Organization (WHO), has issued a warning on her social media account...
