-- SwitzerlandA native of the tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia, the tiger mosquito typically flies and feeds in the daytime in addition to at dusk and dawn. It has the potential to transmit numerous viruses including the yellow fever virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya fever. It is also capable of hosting and spreading the Zika virus.The tiger mosquito, named after its striped appearance, has spread from its home to many countries through the transport of goods and international

Arthropod-borne diseases among travellers arriving in Europe from Africa, 2015 to 2019
Eurosurveillance latest updates, 16.02.2023
Tilføjet 17.02.2023
BackgroundTravellers are generally considered good sentinels for infectious disease surveillance.AimTo investigate whether health data from travellers arriving from Africa to Europe could provide evidence to support surveillance systems in Africa.MethodsWe examined disease occurrence and estimated risk of infection among travellers arriving from Africa to Europe from 2015 to 2019 using surveillance data of arthropod-borne disease cases collected through The European Surveillance System (TESSy) and flight passenger volumes from the International Air Transport Association.ResultsMalaria was the most common arthropod-borne disease reported among travellers from Africa, with 34,235 cases. The malaria travellers’ infection rate (TIR) was 28.8 cases per 100,000 travellers, which is 36 and 144 times higher than the TIR for dengue and chikungunya, respectively. The malaria TIR was highest among travellers arriving from Central and Western Africa. There were 956 and 161 diagnosed imported cases of dengue and chikungunya, respectively. The highest TIR was among travellers arriving from Central, Eastern and Western Africa for dengue and from Central Africa for chikungunya in this period. Limited numbers of cases of Zika virus disease, West Nile virus infection, Rift Valley fever and yellow fever were reported.ConclusionsDespite some limitations, travellers’ health data can efficiently complement local surveillance data in Africa, particularly when the country or region has a sub-optimal surveillance system. The sharing of anonymised traveller health data between regions/continents should be encouraged.

Dengue -- In the Region of the Americas, between epidemiological week (EW) 1 and EW 52 of 2022, a total of 3 110 442 cases of arboviral diseases were reported. Of the total cases, 2 803 096 (90.1%) were dengue cases, 271 006 (8.7%) were chikungunya cases, and 36 340 (1.2%) were Zika cases.Figure 1 shows the circulation pattern of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika in the last 15 years (See URL above for figures). Since 2014, the impact of the introduction of chikungunya (Dec 2013) is observed. Similarly,

Dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus infections among Dutch travellers to Suriname: a prospective study during the introduction of chikungunya and Zika virus, 2014 to 2017
Eurosurveillance latest updates, 12.01.2023
Tilføjet 13.01.2023
BackgroundSuriname, a country endemic for dengue virus (DENV), is a popular destination for Dutch travellers visiting friends and relatives and tourist travellers. Chikungunya and Zika virus (CHIKV, ZIKV) were introduced in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Data on infection risks among travellers are limited.AimWe aimed to prospectively study incidence rate (IR) and determinants for DENV, ZIKV and CHIKV infection in adult travellers to Suriname from 2014 through 2017.MethodsParticipants kept a travel diary and were tested for anti-DENV, anti-ZIKV and anti-CHIKV IgG antibodies (Euroimmun). Selected samples were subjected to an in-house DENV and ZIKV PRNT50. The IR (infections/1,000 person-months of travel) and IR ratio and determinants for infection were calculated.ResultsTravel-acquired infections were found in 21 of 481 participants: 18 DENV, four ZIKV and two CHIKV, yielding an IRDENV of 47.0 (95% CI: 29.6–74.6), IRZIKV of 11.6 (95% CI: 4.4–31.0) and IRCHIKV of 5.6 (95% CI: 1.4–22.2)/1,000 person-months. In nine DENV and three ZIKV infected participants, infections were PRNT50-confirmed, yielding a lower IRDENV of 23.3 (95% CI: 12.1–44.8) and an IRZIKV of 8.4 (95% CI: 2.7–26.1) per 1,000 person-months. Tourist travel was associated with DENV infection. ZIKV and CHIKV infections occurred soon after their reported introductions.ConclusionsDespite an overestimation of serologically confirmed infections, Dutch travellers to Suriname, especially tourists, are at substantial risk of DENV infection. As expected, the risk of contracting ZIKV and CHIKV was highest during outbreaks. Cross-reaction and potential cross-protection of anti-DENV and -ZIKV antibodies should be further explored.

Pests -- VietnamMosquitoes that are extremely resistant to insecticides have been discovered in Cambodia and Viet Nam, raising concerns about the implications for controlling infectious diseases. _Aedes aegypti _mosquitoes are major carriers of yellow fever, dengue fever, and the Zika viruses. The insects are found widely in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and their population numbers are largely controlled using insecticides.Many of these [insecticides] belong to a class of chemicals called
