On September 6, 2008, bluetongue was detected for the first time in Sweden. Intensified active surveillance in cattle and vector surveillance, prompted by the situation in northern Europe, preceded the detection. A vaccination campaign and intensive surveillance activities were initiated nationally, but with a focus on the southern part of the country. Measures included both active and passive surveillance by serology and PCR in ruminants, along with vector surveillance. The investigations revealed that the infection occurred over a large area of southern Sweden during September and October 2008, despite comparatively low vector activity, an apparently low viral load and no clinical disease. Transplacental infection was detected in one case.

Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is a major constraint for production of cotton (Gossypium sp.) in Northwest India. CLCuD is caused by a monopartite, circular ssDNA virus belonging to the genus Begomovirus in association with betasatellites and alphasatellites, and ttransmitted by a whitefly vector (Bemisia tabaci).

Drawing data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III 1988 to 1994) and the NHANES III Mortality-Linked File (2019), it aims to dissect the multifaceted interactions between nutrition and AD.
Method: The study employs advanced transformer models alongside traditional machine learning methods like random forests and support vector machines.
Key Facets for the Elimination of Vector-Borne Diseases Filariasis, Leishmaniasis, and Malaria.

Vector-borne diseases are caused by microbes transmitted to humans through vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and other arthropods. Three vector-borne diseases, filariasis, leishmaniasis, and malaria, are significant parasitic diseases which are responsible for long-term morbidity and mortality affecting millions globally. These diseases exhibit several similarities in transmission, health impacts, and the challenges faced in their control and prevention.

Zoonotic and vector-borne infectious diseases are among the most direct human health consequences of biodiversity change. The COVID-19 pandemic increased health policymakers' attention on the links between ecological degradation and disease, and sparked discussions around nature-based interventions to mitigate zoonotic emergence and epidemics. Yet, although disease ecology provides an increasingly granular knowledge of wildlife disease in changing ecosystems, we still have a poor understanding of the net consequences for human disease.

Background: India is committed to malaria elimination by the year 2030. According to the classification of malaria endemicity, the National Capital Territory of Delhi falls under category 1, with an annual parasite incidence of <1, and was targeted for elimination by 2022. Among others, population movement across states is one of the key challenges for malaria control, as it can result in imported malaria, thus introducing local transmission in an area nearing elimination.
