Article Synopsis
- Data from a laboratory in Mexico (1995-2000) revealed a significant rise in DEN-3 dengue virus circulation, with Aedes aegypti as the main vector and increasing importance of leptospirosis as a differential diagnosis for dengue.
- Several pathogens like rotavirus, bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, and Vibrio cholerae were tracked for seasonal distribution and outbreak patterns, while cholera incidents were monitored over the past decade.
- The emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the necessity for Chagas disease screening in blood banks demonstrated rising public health challenges, alongside the promotion of iodized salt to combat low iodine levels in children's urine across various Mexican states.
