We describe a non-imported malaria case reported in January 2022 in Campo de Gibraltar and the investigations by local public health authorities to identify the transmission mechanism and subsequent measures to prevent local transmission. Vector transmission, parenteral transmission, airport malaria, and imported malaria were ruled out. No clear mechanism of transmission was identified. The most probable cause was a hospital-acquired infection since the case was admitted to hospital at the same time as a case of imported malaria.

Article Synopsis
- Syphilis cases are on the rise in Western countries, with Spain reporting 6,613 new cases in 2021, predominantly affecting men, and showing an increasing trend since 2000.
- The clinical presentation of syphilis varies widely, with typical lesions like chancres and syphilitic roseola, as well as other atypical manifestations that can complicate diagnosis.
- Modern diagnostic methods include molecular assays and automated treponemal tests, with treatment primarily involving penicillin, especially recommended for pregnant women and individuals with HIV; follow-up testing is crucial for ensuring effective treatment and monitoring for reinfection.

Accumulations of macroalgal wrack are important for adequate functioning of the beach ecosystem. However, the sudden beaching of seaweed masses smothers the coastline and forms decomposing piles on the shore, harming tourism-based economies, but also affecting the beach ecosystem metabolism. The decomposition of sudden pulses of wrack can modify the biogeochemistry of beach sands and increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
