Co-occurrence of adeno-associated virus 2 and human enteric adenovirus (group F) in wastewater after worldwide outbreaks of acute hepatitis of unknown etiology (AHUE).

In 2022, several cases of acute hepatitis of unknown etiology (AHUE) have been associated with Adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV-2) and the common childhood virus Adenovirus 41 (AdV-41).

Zero-covid advocacy during the COVID-19 pandemic: a case study of views on Twitter/X.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many advocacy groups and individuals criticized governments on social media for doing either too much or too little to mitigate the pandemic.
