Malaria risk assessment often relies on the entomological inoculation rate (EIR), which quantifies infectious bites per person over time. However, this approach does not account for human behavioral variability, limiting its effectiveness in accurately reflecting malaria risk at the population level. Recent studies have attempted to estimate mosqui...

The international borders of Thailand are well recognized as areas with high malaria transmission risk. Although Sisaket Province, bordering Cambodia, is recognized as a malaria-prone area, major progress towards malaria elimination has been made. In fact, this province was ranked as having high malaria incidence in Thailand decades ago, increasing...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, urban green spaces were considered less prone to contagion, and thus people adopted them as alternative sites for improving mental health. The One Health concept advocated by health organizations worldwide supports the idea that the well-being of urban residents is strongly linked with physical activity in green areas....

The city is characterised by a specific climate. Depending on the type of land use, the characteristics of the land cover, such as colour and the permeability of the surface, or the construction materials used in the urban space - there are locally large horizontal and vertical differences in air temperature in the city, defined by the local energy...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the third human coronavirus detected in the 21 st century. It was only a few weeks between the first cases of atypical severe respiratory disease in Wuhan, China (late 2019), and the identification of the virus, its genetic structure and the development of a PCR test (January 2020). What processes and mechanisms at the inter...

Background A new disease entity called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare consequence of COVID-19 infection. The pathophysiology and risk factors of MIS-C are still unclear, and the clinical manifestation ranges from milder forms to cases needing intensive care unit treatment. Based on available data, obesity is linked...

Objectives : Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is the result of an immune response triggered by a prior exposure to the SARS-CoV-2. The clinical presentation of MIS-C overlaps with other life-threatening bacterial infections, in which antimicrobials are the mainstay therapy. The aim of study was to describe the use of antibiotic...

The pandemic potential of already known zoonotic viruses and the risk of emergence of new ones is estimated by WHO as one of the major threats to humanity.

It has been 18 months since the first case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Poland was registered in March 2020. During this time, the number of official infections has varied every day between “0” (March, 2020) to tens of thousands (autumn, 2020, spring, 2021), summing up to 2 895 947 infections and 75 464 deaths (16.09.2021). The spatial distribution o...

During the winter months of 2020/2021 a wave of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) emerged in Poland. We present the results of a nationwide register aiming to capture and characterise MIS-C with a focus on severity determinants. The first MIS-C wave in Poland was notably high, hence our analysis involved 274 children. The group...

Despite the growing literature on multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), the data in European White population is limited. Our aim was to capture MIS-C emergence in Poland (central Europe) and to describe its characteristics with a focus on severity determinants.

The Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus circulation in Indonesia was first documented in Lombok in 1960, and the virus was first isolated in 1972 from Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Bekasi, West Java and Kapuk, West Jakarta. Since then, Indonesia has been recognized as an endemic country for JE transmission. Up to now, JE cases have been found in at least...

During the past decade, bats were shown to a major source for new viruses. Among them are well known coronaviruses such as SRAS or MERS but also Ebola. At the same time, no direct infection from bat to human has been demonstrated. The dynamic of transmission of bat-borne viruses is therefore a complex process involving both sylvatic and urban cycle...

Coronaviruses (CoV) were for a long time associated with several major veterinary diseases such as avian infectious coronavirus, calf diarrhea, winter dysentery, respiratory infections (BRD-BCoV) in cattle, SDCV, PEDV, SECD in swine and dog, intestinal disease or Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Saif, 2014), and the human mild and common cold.
