Biosafety hazards can trigger a host immune response after infection, invasion, or contact with the host. Whether infection with a microorganism results in disease or biosafety concerns depends to a large extent on the immune status of the population. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the immunological characteristics of the host and the mechanisms of biological threats and agents to protect the host more effectively.

Data from post-mortem inspections conducted using official controls on the meat production of slaughtered pigs are generally considered valuable for identifying herd health issues and ensuring meat safety. However, several studies highlighted that a multi-stage assessment of lung changes would provide more useful information on animal health than the implemented binary (yes/no) recording. For this purpose, a new scheme was developed and subsequently used by trained official veterinarians at four slaughterhouses in Austria.

HPV-related cancers in men, particularly anal and oropharyngeal cancers, are increasing in Sweden and globally. Men who have sex with men, trans persons and people living with HIV are at especially high risk. HPV vaccination effectively prevents HPV infection and related precancers when given up to age 26.

Introduction: Pertussis, a respiratory disease caused primarily by , is undergoing a resurgence despite decades of high rates of vaccination. The prevention of pertussis in infants presents several challenges, including the waning immunity of the acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine, the limited protection afforded to newborns before they complete the vaccine series, and the existence of gaps in maternal vaccination. Furthermore, the unwillingness or refusal of a considerable number of individuals, including some healthcare workers, to receive vaccinations represents another significant challenge.

Background: Prior to receiving their first dose of measles-containing vaccine, infants may be protected against infection either via antibodies obtained transplacentally from their mothers or by herd immunity. However, there is evidence that transplacental protection may wane well-before the age of first measles vaccination.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of infants <12 months of age at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, Ontario, and their mothers.
