Thank you & congratulations to all our REDI-NET presenters & partners #TropMed23 @ASTMH who shared their knowledge & expertise with other attendees. Looking forward to next year! @BenedicteFustec @fricken_michael @HsiaomeiLiao

Watch this video to see the CO2 Tick trap in action! This new technique will now be utilized at REDI-NET Silver Labs: NECE, Mpala, and Belize.
@mpala_rc @wrbu_wrair @BVECBELIZE @NavyMedicine

Members of the REDI-NET Mpala and USAMRD-K teams in Kenya, train on a new tick trap approach. CO2 from dry ice is emitted through the box. Ticks are attracted to the CO2 and crawl onto the felt mat under the box where they can be collected. @mpala_rc @wrbu_wrair @ArmyMedicine

Notre Dame Senior Brooke Rodriguez, COS-SURF recipient, @NDscience spent 10 weeks this summer conducting research on tick surveillance using the Biomeme Franklin thermocycler. Thank you to REDI-NET partners at NECE to provide field experience. @NavyMedicine

Come find us at ASTMH annual conference in Chicago IL Oct. 18-22. REDI-NET will have 4 poster presentations highlighting our system-of-systems to address emerging infectious disease surveillance needs. @ASTMH #TropMed23 @fricken_michael @BenedicteFustec @StacyMowry @HsiaomeiLiao

$5M in funds has been awarded to the REDI-NET Consortium for Phase III that begins 1 Sept 2023. Consortium members are conducting a workshop in Washington DC to discuss aims and goals.@wrbu_wrair @NavalMedicalRC @NavyMedicine @NDResearch

Did you know July 6 is World Zoonoses Day? Zoonoses are disease which can be transmitted from animals to humans. REDI-NET aims to detect, predict, and control zoonoses through next-gen sequencing, custom technology, & global collaboration. @NavalMedicalRC @wrbu_wrair @DoD_DHA

@REDINET_Program Collaborators from @NavalMedicalRC and @wrbu_wrair visited @NotreDame earlier this month for a workshop to discuss automation of the REDI-NET custom NGS data pipeline which will enhance the results to near-real time for @DoD_DHA Force Health decision makers.

What is REDI-NET's objective? To effectively DETECT, PREDICT & CONTAIN potentially emergent zoonosis of human relevance improving the accuracy/timeliness of ‘data-to decision’ pipeline
