Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...
Reservoir of Infection01:30

Reservoir of Infection

Infectious diseases arise from intricate interactions between pathogens and their reservoirs. A reservoir of infection refers to the natural habitat where a pathogen lives, grows, and multiplies, serving as a continual source of infection. Reservoirs are broadly classified as either living or nonliving, and each plays a unique role in disease transmission, significantly influencing public health interventions and control strategies.Humans act as reservoirs for a wide array of pathogens,...
Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence01:28

Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence

Infectious diseases appear in populations through various transmission patterns, influenced by pathogen characteristics, population immunity, environmental conditions, and social behavior. Understanding these patterns is essential for effective public health surveillance and intervention. These categories—sporadic, outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, and endemic—help frame the nature and scope of disease events.Sporadic diseases occur irregularly and infrequently, without a predictable temporal or...
Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria01:10

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a virus that...
Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Epidemiology
    • Zoonotic Disease Research
    • Public Health Entomology

    Background:

    • Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) pose significant threats to animal health within the European Union (EU).
    • A comprehensive understanding of VBDs is crucial for effective risk assessment and management strategies.
    • Existing knowledge on VBDs is fragmented, necessitating harmonization for robust assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a structured overview of 25 selected VBDs relevant to the EU.
    • To compile and harmonize existing scientific knowledge on VBDs for subsequent risk assessments.
    • To support EU-level risk assessments by creating a transparent evidence base.

    Main Methods:

    • Selection of 25 VBDs based on predefined eligibility criteria, including EU presence and vector/host data.
    • Systematic literature review framework applied to six knowledge areas: infection dynamics, transmission, diagnostics, vaccines, treatments, and geographical distribution.
    • Standardized disease fact sheets created for each VBD.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed fact sheets covering experimental infections, pathogen survival, transmission, diagnostic accuracy, and treatment/vaccine efficacy for 25 VBDs.
    • Information on the geographical distribution of pathogens and competent vectors within the EU.
    • Identification of VBDs with uncertain status or absence in at least half of EU Member States.

    Conclusions:

    • The report establishes a harmonized and transparent evidence base for VBDs relevant to the EU.
    • This evidence base will support future EU-level risk assessments concerning animal health.
    • An online platform provides continuously updated information, including interactive maps and datasets.
