Risk scoring of African swine fever transmission in selected provinces of the Philippines.
J Vet Sci
December 2024
Department of Veterinary Paraclinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Los Baños 4031, Laguna, Philippines.
Importance: African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious transboundary swine disease that poses a significant threat to the swine industry. As an archipelago, the Philippines has a geographic advantage in reducing ASF transmission risk. However, control efforts remain challenging due to the disease's complex epidemiology, lack of effective treatment, and vaccine availability.

Article Synopsis
- Influenza vaccination is crucial to prevent illness and death in nursing home residents, and this study compares the effectiveness of recombinant influenza vaccine versus standard-dose vaccines in this population.
- Conducted across two influenza seasons, the study randomized nursing homes to administer either the recombinant quadrivalent vaccine or the standard vaccine, focusing on residents aged 65 and older.
- The main outcome measured was respiratory-related hospitalization rates, while secondary outcomes included overall mortality and hospitalization for any reason, with a substantial sample size of over 144,000 observations.
Case Series of Vaccine Hesitancy Encountered at the Pediatric Emergency Department.

Department of Pediatrics, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu-shi, JPN.
Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is a significant concern, although its specific characteristics remain unclear. Moreover, strategies to shift vaccine-hesitant parents' attitudes toward immunization are not yet well-defined. Pediatric emergency department (ED) physicians frequently encounter patients who are inadequately vaccinated due to parental VH; however, it is challenging to allocate sufficient time during ED visits to provide comprehensive vaccination education.

In this study, we employed a modeling approach to describe how changes in age-specific epidemiological characteristics, such as behaviour, i.e. contact patterns, susceptibility and infectivity, influence the basic reproduction number , while accounting for heterogeneity in transmission.

Ministry of Health and Population, Cairo, Egypt.
Introduction: Influenza burden (IB) estimates are crucial for monitoring disease trends, allocating limited resources, and promoting influenza vaccination. However, IB in Egypt is poorly understood. This study estimates the mean-seasonal IB in Egypt, across levels of severity by age and regions using sentinel surveillance data between 2016 and 2019.
