Dengue has been endemic to Pakistan in the last two decades. There was a massive outbreak in the Swat valley in 2013. Here we demonstrate the spatio-temporal clustering and diffusion patterns of the dengue outbreak. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Role of environmental, climatic risk factors and livestock animals on the occurrence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in newly emerging focus in Iran
Occurrence of leishmaniasis is affected by various biological and environmental factors. Kohgiluye and Boyerahmad (K –B) province is an emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Southwest Iran. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Antibiotic susceptibility of 259 Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from food, food-processing plants and human samples in Germany
The objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of 259 Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from food and food-processing environments and patient samples in Germany to 14 antibiotics widely used in veterinary and human medicine. L. monocytogenes strains were isolated mainly from milk and milk products and classified according to their molecular serotypes IIa (n=112), IIb (n=41), IIc (n=36), IVa (n=1), IVb (n=66), and IVb-v1 (n=3).

Incidence of mycobacterial disorders in Indian adult male service population followed for over two decades
The comprehensive epidemiology of mycobacterial disorders is scarce from our country. The incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) and Leprosy in a cohort of military personnel followed for a long duration was evaluated in this study. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Isolation of Leptospira kmetyi from residential areas of patients with leptospirosis in Kelantan, Malaysia
Environmental sampling provides important information that enhances the understanding of the leptospiral human –environment–animal relationship. Several studies have described the distribution of Leptospira in the environment. However, more targeted sites, that is, areas surrounding leptospirosis patients’ houses, remain under-explored. Therefore, this study aims to detect the presence of Leptospira sp p. in the residential areas of patients with leptospirosis. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Neurological disease may precede lymphadenopathies in Actinomyces europaeus infection
In this report we described the case of A. europaeus infection in a young female patient admitted to Intensive Care Unit and the possible damage of vascular endothelium due to a chronic progressive actinomycosis that at first involved neck soft tissue, then cervical lymphnodes, and finally extended to the vascular structure.

Latin American research in rabbit transmitted zoonoses at the beginning of the “Rabbit Plan” in Venezuela: ¿Are we prepared for a new outbreak?
Among many wildlife species, Oryctolagus cuniculus play an important role in the transmission of multihost pathogens. This specie was introduced in the Americas hundreds of years ago, representing today a relevant reservoir for a great variety of zoonotic pathogens in our region such as Yersinia pestis and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, among others [1 –4]. The prevalence of these pathogens have not been well described in our region, however there are reports that indicate a high burden of disease in rabbit farms causing significant economic losses and interfering in the research processes [5].

Climate patterns and mosquito-borne disease outbreaks in South and Southeast Asia
Vector-borne infectious diseases, particularly mosquito-borne, pose a substantial threat to populations throughout South and Southeast Asia. Outbreaks have affected this region several times during the early years of the 21st century, notably through outbreaks of Chikungunya and Dengue. These diseases are believed to be highly prevalent at endemic levels in the region as well. With a changing global climate, the impacts of changes in ambient temperatures and precipitation levels on mosquito populations are important for understanding the effects on risk of mosquito-borne disease outbreaks.

Dengue death tolls: A nightmare for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Fundamental goal of this letter is to toss light on dengue as vector-based infection, its transmission and elevation in death toll ratio in Pakistan chiefly Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and dynamic strides were taken by government to vanquish such intense circumstances. Dengue is caused and transmitted through bite of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus belonging to family Flaviridae. Symptoms appear within 7days after bite [1] including flu, pyrexia, pain in eyes, bone pain resulting in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Circulatory Shock Syndrome, thrombocytopenia and low heme-concentration.
