In 2024, respiratory infectious diseases continue to pose a pressing challenge to global public health, mainly due to antibiotic resistance, disease complexity, and widespread transmission, all of which will increase the global disease burden. In addition, the updated bacterial priority pathogens list and the resurgence of certain pathogens have added new layers of complexity to the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infectious diseases Over the past year, significant progress has been achieved, particularly in rapid diagnostic technologies, the development of innovative anti-infective drugs, and the advancement of vaccines. This article provides an overview of the most important research advances in the field of respirator infectious diseases.

Floods constitute one of the most widely described natural phenomena worldwide, and their frequency is increasing due to the consequences of climate change. Floods pose risks to the affected populations, including an increase in communicable diseases mainly due to population displacement and overcrowding, deficiencies in hygiene and dietary measures and difficulties accessing health care. The most frequently reported infectious diseases in the context of these disasters are gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases and diseases resulting from wound infection.
