« La Magia de la Amazonia nos lleva a un mundo que podría parecer fantástico, donde humanos, animales y plantas hablan entre sí, bromean y conspiran entre sí.

Lo obvio es que los humanos no están por encima de otras criaturas. Todos dependen unos de otros, algunos son más conscientes de ello que otros.

Plantas y animales, cada uno con conocimientos especiales, acompañan al héroe Namowë en su búsqueda de una cura para salvar a su hermana menor enferma.

Cuando el emprende este emocionante viaje por la jungla, ya ha dado un gran paso hacia la madurez.

Detrás de esta hermosa historia tan bien ilustrada, el mensaje es claro de que los seres humanos no estamos aislados ni separados de nuestro entorno y que ponernos por encima de la naturaleza es arbitrario y, en última instancia, contraproducente. »

Bird flu keeps rewriting the textbooks. It’s why scientists are unsettled by the U.S. dairy cattle outbreak – STAT

Twenty-seven years ago today, a 3-year-old boy in Hong Kong developed a sore throat, spiked a fever, and started to cough. Six days later, he was hospitalized; six days after that, he died of acute respiratory distress caused by viral pneumonia. Testing showed the toddler, who’d had contact with sick chickens before becoming ill, had been infected with H5N1 bird flu.

His death was the first attributed to a bird flu virus, and since then, dozens more young children across a number of countries have died from this virus, H5N1. In fact, in the weeks that followed the boy’s death, 17 other children in Hong Kong contracted the virus and five more died. It was a tragedy — and a profound shock for the scientists who studied influenza…The Hong Kong outbreak was the first time the H5N1 virus pulled off the unexpected, rewriting the textbooks that sometimes over-confidently stated what the myriad versions of influenza A viruses found in wild birds and other species could and could not do. But it wouldn’t be the last time. In the nearly three decades since, flu scientists have tracked this virus with both vigilance and dread, watching it defy dogma again and again, learning through hard experience that it is a foe not to be underestimated…
