In 2006 year 936 cases of all form of syphilis notified in Poland; incidence 2.46 per 100,000 population (2005--809, incidence 2.12). The largest of cases was in mazowieckie (305, incidence 5.9), dolnoślaskie (110, incidence 3.8), ślaskie (101, incidence 2.2) voivodeships. There were recognized 409 cases of gonorrhoea (in 2005--402). Epidemiological situation of sexually transmitted diseases has been getting worse. As in the past years the children with congenital syphilis was born. Decrease numbers of screening serological tests in syphilis and gonorrhoea. The rate of prophylaxis and immediate treatment (contacts) no change to improvement.

Babesia species (Piroplasmida) are hemoparasites that infect erythrocytes of mammals and birds and are mainly transmitted by hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae). These hemoparasites are known to be the second most common parasites infecting mammals, after trypanosomes, and some species may cause malaria-like disease in humans. Diagnosis and understanding of Babesia diversity increasingly rely on genetic data obtained through molecular techniques.

Adult T cell leukemia lymphoma (ATL) is a mature T cell neoplasm caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). ATL is endemic in specific geographic regions of the world closely related to areas with high prevalence of HLTV-1 infection, including Southwestern Japan, the Caribbean Basin, Central Africa, South America, Northern and Central Australia. HLTV-1 is primarily transmitted through breastmilk in asymptomatic carriers with a long latency period before transformation into ATL in 3 - 5 % of carriers after acquisition of multiple leukemogenic mutations.

Background Web-based, testing for sexually transmitted infections (STI) is becoming increasingly available. However, treatment pathways from web-based services are often not well-coordinated, contributing to treatment delays and access gaps. This study investigated clinician perspectives on building service linkages with a new, web-based, STI testing service in Victoria, Australia.
