ABSTRACT
Host-virus associations have co-evolved under ecological and evolutionary selection pressures that shape cross-species transmission and spillover to humans. Observed virus-host associations provide relevant context for newly discovered wildlife viruses to assess knowledge gaps in host-range and estimate pathways for potential human infection. Using models to predict virus-host networks, we predicted the likelihood of humans as hosts for 513 newly discovered viruses detected by large-scale wildlife surveillance at high-risk animal-human interfaces in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Predictions indicated that novel coronaviruses are likely to infect a greater number of host species than viruses from other families. Our models further characterize novel viruses through prioritization scores and directly inform surveillance targets to identify host ranges for newly discovered viruses.

The complex job of operating room nurse is carried out in a highly technical environment and requires operational, relational and psychological skills. During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in France, the activity of the operating rooms was modified, only urgent and carcinological surgeries were taken care of. The operating room nurses proved to be an important staff resource to reinforce the care teams in the hospital departments. At the Nîmes University Hospital Centre, thirty operating room nurses were thus deployed. A review of this exceptional professional experience. © 2020 z Le métier complexe d'Ibode s'exerce dans un lieu de haute technicité et requiert des compétences opérationnelles, relationnelles et psychologiques z Durant la première vague de pandémie de Covid-19 en France, l'activité des blocs opératoires s'est trouvée modifiée, seules les chirurgies urgentes et carcinologiques étaient prises en charge z Les infirmiers de bloc opératoire se sont avérés être une ressource en personnel importante pour renforcer les équipes de soins dans les services d'hospitalisation z Au centre hospitalier universitaire de Nîmes, trente infirmiers de bloc opératoire ont ainsi été déployés z Retour sur cette expérience professionnelle exceptionnelle. © 2020
