Increase in genetic variation followed by surge in cases
Combining classical epidemiology and genomics can predict course of pandemics
Genome sequencing of thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples shows that surges of COVID-19 cases are driven by the appearance of new coronavirus variants, according to new research from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, published April 1 in Scientific Reports.
“As variants emerge, you’re going to get new outbreaks,” said Bart Weimer, professor of population health and reproduction at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. The merger of classical epidemiology with genomics provides a tool public health authorities could use to predict the course of pandemics, whether of coronavirus, influenza or some new pathogen.

New livestock lab in the works for Turlock $88.6 million project included in Governor’s budget proposal The proposed California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System new facility project would construct a 41,000 square foot lab at 830 Dianne Drive in Turlock near Highway 99 (ANGELINA MARTIN/The Journal).
Nearly $90 million has been set aside in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal to build a new and improved livestock health lab in Turlock.
The $88.6 million project would construct a 41,000 square foot lab at 830 Dianne Drive near Highway 99 on land already owned by the state, and would replace the Turlock branch of the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System already located at Fulkerth and Soderquist roads.
