ABSTRACT Introduction Rickettsioses and leptospirosis are infectious diseases often underdiagnosed due to limited knowledge about their epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical aspects. Objectives To characterize the seroprevalence and seroincidence of Rickettsia and Leptospira agents and determine their associated factors in rural areas of Urabá ...

ABSTRACT Background Dengue vector control plays an important role in reducing the burden of dengue infection. Conventional meta‐analysis can only include interventions that can be directly compared. Hence, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of all interventions for dengue vector control directly and indirectly through a multilevel Bayesian ...

ABSTRACT Dengue remains a major public health concern in Mexico, with incidence and clinical burden increasing substantially in recent years. Using national surveillance data from 2020 to 2024, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the changing epidemiological landscape, with an emphasis on geographic distribution, temporal trends, serotype ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Toscana virus (TOSV) and Leishmania species are sand fly‐borne pathogens that pose a significant public health threat and an increasing risk of exposure in Europe. The objective of this study was to identify the phleboviruses circulating in an area endemic for sand fly‐borne pathogens and to estimate infection prevalence in wild ...

Evidence of West Nile Virus Infections in Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) in the Netherlands, 2018–2021
ABSTRACT Introduction Orthoflaviviruses are emerging in Europe and have potential significant impact on animal and public health. Usutu virus (USUV) and West Nile virus (WNV) have been first detected in the Netherlands in 2016 and 2020, respectively. Wild boars (Sus scrofa) have been suggested as an interesting population to detect the circulation of ...

Field testing of different chemical combinations as odour baits for trapping wild mosquitoes in The Gambia. [PDF]
Odour baited traps have potential use in population surveillance of insect vectors of disease, and in some cases for vector population reduction. Established attractants for human host-seeking mosquitoes include a combination of CO(2) with L-lactic acid ...

Confidence Intervals for a Proportion Estimated From Pooled Samples Based on Firth's Corrected Score
ABSTRACT Interval estimation of a proportion estimated from testing of pooled samples has been studied by a variety of researchers, who have examined both exact and asymptotic methods. Recent work in point estimation has seen the use of Firth's correction to maximum likelihood estimation to reduce bias effectively. We consider the Firth‐corrected score
