Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 75 - Angeliki Melidou & Katriina Willgert - Could Bird Flu Become The Next Pandemic?
Q: Why do you think there is such a public health concern right at this moment?
There is concern because past pandemics have involved animal-origin influenza, and the virus could reassort or adapt to enable human-to-human transmission; ongoing circulation in animals increases the risk that such adaptation could occur, making it essential to have preparedness and monitoring in place.
Episode 68 - Rita Figueira & Andreas Hoefer - A Network of Laboratory Excellence
Q: How do eURLs fit into Europe's public health strategy?
They are a central part of the public health infrastructure, ensuring standardized laboratory data, guiding outbreak responses, and strengthening cross-border collaboration to enable rapid, coordinated action.
