Predicting the age of field mosquitoes using mass spectrometry and deep learning.

Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria are rising globally, and improved mosquito vector surveillance is needed. Survival of mosquitoes is key for epidemiological monitoring of malaria transmission and evaluation of vector control strategies targeting mosquito longevity, as the risk of pathogen transmission increases with mosquito age. However, the available tools to estimate field mosquito age are often approximate and time-consuming.

COVID-19 epidemic in remote areas of the French Amazon, March 2020 to May 2021: Another reality.

Background: French Guiana (FG) is an ultra-peripheral European region in the Amazon, and the COVID-19 epidemic has had very different kinetics from both its giant neighbors, Brazil or mainland France.

Methods: This study summarized the epidemics of COVID-19 in FG.

Results: The tropical climate, multiethnicity, and remoteness of the population forced healthcare providers to accordingly adapt the management of the epidemic.

Mayaro virus infection in French Guiana, a cross sectional study 2003-2019.

Mayaro Virus is an emerging arbovirus which can be responsible of important outbreaks in tropical regions. A retrospective study was performed in French Guiana, an ultraperipheral region of Europe in Amazonia. We identified 17 human cases between 2003 and 2019.

Risk factors and clinical characteristics of patients with nosocomial influenza A infection.

Influenza is a public health burden, responsible for more than half a million deaths worldwide each year and explosive outbreaks in-hospital care units. At present, little is known about clinical characteristics and outcomes with nosocomial influenza infection. To assess clinical characteristics and outcome between nosocomial and community-acquired (CA) influenza in a tertiary care hospital.

Severe Sinus Bradycardia in Puumala virus infection.

Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) is the most prevalent of the four species of zoonotic hantaviruses found in Europe, causing nephropathia epidemica, a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with acute kidney injury that presents with elevated serum creatinine level, proteinuria and hematuria. The febrile phase of the infection begins with flu-like syndrome and visual disturbance. Laboratory results can show thrombocytopenia.
