West Nile virus (WNV) is a flavivirus naturally circulating between mosquito vectors and birds, occasionally infecting horses and humans and causing epidemiologically relevant outbreaks. In Spain, the first big WNV outbreak was recorded in 2020, resulting in 77 people infected and 8 fatalities, most of them in southern Spain. Culex perexiguus was identified as the primary vector of WNV maintaining its enzootic circulation of the virus.

Article Synopsis
- Anthracnose is the most significant disease affecting olive crops, primarily caused by different species of the Colletotrichum fungus in Spain and Portugal, with C. godetiae and C. nymphaeae being the main culprits.
- The research evaluated the resistance of various olive cultivars, particularly comparing the 'Picual' (resistant) and 'Arbequina' (moderately susceptible) varieties, finding that some offspring hybrids showed improved resistance to C. godetiae.
- Despite the interactions observed between the olive genotypes and Colletotrichum species, traditional and new cultivars generally fell into susceptible or moderately susceptible categories, indicating a complex resistance mechanism and varied responses between fruit and leaf susceptibilities
Objectives: To gather opinions, recommendations, and proposals for improvement from Spanish clinicians on cardiovascular (CV) health, with particular focus on dyslipidemia management.
Methods: The Expert Insights project involved 8face-to-face sessions held throughout Spain, attended by 138 CV health experts. Clinicians answered to 25 questions survey related to CV health and dyslipidemia control.
