Dr. Jacob Strahilevitz has seen his fair share of dog and cat bites. But a crocodile bite? That was a career first.
The head of the Hadassah Medical Organization’s Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases joins the newest episode of the Hadassah On Call podcast to discuss how he identified the bacteria from the reptile’s teeth in order to prevent an infection in the patient.
Continuing the “Contagion Conversation,” Dr. Strahilevitz talks to us about some of the infectious diseases seen around the world in recent years, including COVID-19, the West Nile virus, avian influenza and mpox, some of whose outbreaks may be linked to climate change.
