One Health PACT
Predicting Arboviruses Climate Tipping points
The One Health PACT consortium is a research collaboration that brings together experts from various disciplines across the Netherlands. We aim to gain systemic understanding of mosquito-borne diseases and of how their emergence and transmission is influenced by major environmental and social changes.
On the news page of our website you can find updates on our projects and news articles on exciting findings and events within our project.
Global health and pandemic preparedness also aligns well with my interests outside of work - I spend a lot of time involved with the Effective Altruism community, using evidence and reason to answer the question
"How can we do the most good?"

Phase I of fieldwork sampling rodents for arboviruses completed! Team @pascoeel, @BugproofBugprof, Helen Esser, @ReinaSikkema en Maarten Schrama #ErasmusMC #viroscience #WagenjngenUR
I❤️@voxdotcom - Always so good at doing news that is actually about what is important in the world!

Malaria is notoriously hard to vaccinate against. A new vaccine technology might change that. via @voxdotcom

There’s still a long way to go, but RNA vaccines might help in the fight against malaria.

Yay for detailed reviews! My project will use a lot of what is known about West Nile pathogenicity and virulence to help inform us about attenuating mutations and innate immune evasion in Usutu.
Pathogenicity and virulence of West Nile virus revisited eight decades after its first isolation https://ift.tt/3dcSfnl
My focus on emerging infectious viruses was sparked by an interest in neglected tropical disease, and fueled during my time working at @WMPglobal, studying the ability of Wolbachia bacteria to reduce arbovirus transmission.

Continu zien welke type vogel boven je vliegt. Radar gebruikt door @BaranesJudy. Ook te gebruiken voor onderzoek naar aviaire #influenza virus en andere virussen die met vogels meegedragen kunnen worden? https://twitter.com/VroegeVogels/status/1381120828725547010
Deze radar wil elke vogelaar in zijn tuin hebben! Hoor meer op @NPORadio1 @ARTIS

"We gaan meer problemen met muggenoverdraagbare ziekten krijgen" Interview met @MarionKoopmans coordinator One Health PACT over het belang van structurele voorbereiding op klimaatgerelateerde problemen en dreigingen van infectieziekten https://www.vpro.nl/buitenhof/speel~POMS_VPRO_16489877~marion-koopmans-viroloog~.html #onehealth @ncohnl
'Er is al jaren voor dit soort problemen gewaarschuwd en we zien nu wat er gebeurt als je daar à l'improviste op moet reageren’, aldus Marion Koopmans in #buitenhof ‘ We moeten investeren in een verdedigingslinie en plan van aanpak voor de dreiging van infectieziekten en klimaat'

@AtamaNnomzie with a wheelbarrow full of samples 😂 as part of his @OneHealthPact research on the role of rodents in arbovirus transmission. A bit rainy, but with the excellent help of Maarten Schrama, @ReinaSikkema, @pascoeel and Helen Esser. Nice team effort!
Someone sent in his/her lucky shot for the Muggenradar project! 💉🦟
