0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.4	From ESCV2023, this is Twib, this week in virology, a special episode recorded on August 30th, 2023.
0:23.7	I'm Vincent Drakaniello, and you're listening to the podcast, all about viruses. Today we are in
0:30.2	Milano, Italy, and we are at ESCV, which is the European Society for clinical virology. I think this
0:39.7	is the 25th meeting of this society. This is actually a city I used to come to when I was a little kid,
0:48.6	maybe five years old. I had two aunts here, and I used to go visit them every couple of years,
0:55.2	so brings back memories. My guest for this special episode is head of virus science at Erasmus Medical
1:05.3	Center in Rotterdam, Marion Koopmans. Welcome. Hi there, nice to be here again.
1:10.8	You've been many times already on Twitter. I don't know how many, but a couple of times, yes.
1:15.4	So Ron Fusier, who I had just the other day, he counts, and he has six now.

1:50.2	mink in the Netherlands, and I wanted to explore a few things about that. So how did you first
1:56.0	pick that up? That outbreak. So I think this is because of lessons from the past. We've had
2:02.4	bird flu outbreaks. We've had particularly big and bad outbreak of Q fever. So following that,
2:10.4	there was a big evaluation. And following that, we developed what is called the Zoonosis Response
2:16.8	Team. So when there is a specific new disease situation that is brought together, it's an expert
2:24.2	team to say, should we think about animal infections, for instance, or visorsive? There's an animal
2:32.7	infection. Should we think about human risk, health risk? So that's what happened here. So because
2:38.4	of that, quite early on, when the first report came of infected cats in Wuhan, this expert team was
