AI Article Synopsis
- In August 2023, six cases of dengue virus 1 were reported in Lodi province, Lombardy, indicating local transmission in an area where the mosquito vector exists.
- Four of these cases required hospitalization, but there were no fatalities.
- The dengue strains found are closely related to those from Peru and Brazil, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance of tropical diseases in densely populated northern Italy.
Article Abstract
In August 2023, six locally acquired dengue virus 1 infections were detected in Lodi province, Lombardy Region, in northern Italy, where the vector is present. Four cases were hospitalised, none died. The viruses clustered with Peruvian and Brazilian strains collected between 2021 and 2023. This preliminary report highlights the importance of continued integrated surveillance of imported vector-borne virus infections and the potential for tropical disease outbreaks in highly populated regions of northern Italy where competent vectors are present.

Background: Large-scale diagnostic testing has been proven ineffective for prompt monitoring of the spread of COVID-19. Electronic resources may facilitate enhanced early detection of epidemics. Here, we aimed to retrospectively explore whether examining trends in the use of emergency and healthcare services and the Google search engine is useful in detecting Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus outbreaks early compared with the currently used swab-based surveillance system.

Food leftovers can be used as alternative feed ingredients for monogastric to replace human-competing feedstuffs, such as cereals, recycle a waste product, reduce the feed-food competition and keep nutrients and energy in the feed-food chain. Among food leftovers, former food products (FFPs) are no more intended for human but still suitable for animal consumption. However, the metabolic impact of FFP has never been investigated.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) causes huge economic losses to pig farms worldwide. Currently available vaccines do not always offer complete protection, due to the extreme variability of the virus. Therefore, good farming practices must be improved to prevent the disease from spreading across the pig production system.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the costs of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) compared to spontaneous pregnancies within the Italian NHS, focusing on individual-level data from Lombardy between 2007 and 2020.
- It finds that ART pregnancies result in significantly higher costs, particularly due to increased hospital admissions (an additional €1611) and drug prescriptions (an extra €216) before delivery.
- The research highlights the influence of clinical and social factors on the financial burden of ART, advocating for targeted support and evidence-based practices to improve resource allocation and outcomes in pregnancy care.
