Few dozen cases of local dengue transmission, more than has been observed before (bit of a theme for #infectiousdiseases in the recent past...)
An infected traveller would have returned to France, been bitten by a local mozzie, with onward transmission from biting new humans.

Seeing more mosquito-driven disease in Europe. Loads of #westnile virus in the lowlands in northern Italy, plus a few cases across other Euro countries

#Dengue risk will increase with longer seasons and wider geographic distribution in Asia, Europe, Central and South America and sub-Saharan Africa, potentially putting additional billions of people at risk by the end of the century

What inference can be seen in this graph I created from #Westnile #virus #WNV cases/deaths in AZ? Why are deaths up so much in 2021? What community level event occurred to increase deaths among the 66 y.o. median age cohort (up 90X from last yr.) this year? It wasn't the rain. 
Immune suppression? What intelligence can be seen in the data? My dad died of #WNV Oct. 24th at 82 and had a bad reaction to his first and only CV jab. Thoughts? @EthicalSkeptic @AZDHS @Hold2LLC @ianmSC @lifebiomedguru @justin_hart @JordanSchachtel
Los casos confirmados de #WestNile van aumentando rápidamente. Hagamos un breve repaso. Al final del hilo os dejaré el hilo que hice el año pasado por estas fechas:

Epidemiología: Amplia distribución.
Vectores: mosquitos, mayoría de ellos género Culex.
Reservorios: aves
Hospedadores accidentales: caballos, seres humanos, otros vertebrados.
Curso clínico: 80% asintomáticos, 19% síntomas leves,
1% aprox enfermedad grave.

Reservorios: aves
Hospedadores accidentales: caballos, seres humanos, otros vertebrados.
Curso clínico: 80% asintomáticos, 19% síntomas leves,
1% aprox enfermedad grave.
La enfermedad grave suele ser principalmente por neuroinvasión (meningoencefalitis) con un 10% de mortalidad. Afecta en mayor medida a ancianos e inmunodeprimidos.
Periodo de incubación: de 2 a 14 días.
Periodo de incubación: de 2 a 14 días.
...Repasemos la enfermedad por el #VirusWestNile (#WNV):
🔘WNV es un arbovirus zoonótico emergente extendido por todo el 🌎
🔘Se transmite principalmente por la picadura de mosquitos.
🔘Las aves suelen ser el reservorio natural (migración ayuda a propagación).

🔘El virus puede resultar patogénico en humanos 👩🦰🧑🦰y en equinos 🐴
🔘Es una de las enfermedades incluidas en el Reglamento Sanitario Internacional de la #OMS, así como en la lista de enfermedades de declaración obligatoria de la #OIE
🔘Su diagnóstico diferencial es amplio

La infección por WNV suele ser asintomática (60-80%)
Cuando es sintomática, se caracteriza por #fiebre, #cefalea, #artromialgias y malestar general.
Hasta en el 50% puede aparecer un #rash maculopapular (tronco y extremidades)

On Oct 25, 2019, @TheWCS joined w/ @NielsAnnen @GermanyDiplo and others with an URGENT call—The Berlin Principles—for a united effort to prevent future #zoonotic pandemics: bit.ly/3c7KX16
It was urgent before #COVID19 and definitely urgent now.
It was urgent before #COVID19 and definitely urgent now.
Then on Jan 22, @TheWCS issued first statement on #COVID19: bit.ly/2W0FZgY
Called for:
➡️Closure of live animal markets that trade in wildlife
➡️Strengthening efforts to combat trafficking of wild animals
➡️Change dangerous wildlife consumption behaviors, esp. in cities

The Berlin Principles called for a united effort to prevent the emergence or resurgence of diseases that threaten humans, wildlife, and livestock. Said governments, academia, and civil society need to break down barriers.
#WestNile cases in Canada are ⬇️ in 2019: 37 cases as of October 26, compared to 335 by the same time last year. Reported cases are very variable from year-to-year but do seem to have declined in recent years. #PHAC
West Nile surveillance data can be viewed on the PHAC website. Both annual and weekly data are available. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
You can also download the raw data as a .csv file and the R script I used to create the figure from GitHub. github.com/jeanpaulrsoucy…
