Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome – A bibliometric analysis of an emerging priority disease
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a recently emerged arboviral systemic disease, of acute onset and limited clinical evolution [1]. SFTS is a potentially lethal condition with a case-fatality rate (CFR) of 2.5% –30%. The SFTS virus (SFTSV) was discovered on 2009, in rural areas of China [2,3]. Later was reported in Japan and South Korea (2012), but has been also described in Dubai and United Arab Emirates. Experts, including the World Health Organization (WHO) [4], have expressed concern regarding its po tential expansion to other countries in Asia as well to other regions in the world, due to travel ...

A systematic review of emerging respiratory viruses at the Hajj and possible coinfection with Streptococcus pneumoniae
The annual Hajj to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia attracts millions of pilgrims from around the world. International health community's attention goes towards this mass gathering and the possibility of the development of any respiratory tract infections due to the high risk of acquisition of respiratory viruses.

Lack of serological evidence for Lyme-like borreliosis in Brazil
Particularly in Brazil, cases with Lyme-like clinical symptoms, locally known as Baggio-Yoshinari syndrome, have been diagnosed since 1992; however, the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory findings of this syndrome differ from the classic cases of Lyme borreliosis and the etiological agent has not yet been isolated either from humans or a natural vector [1].

Approximate Bayesian algorithm to estimate the basic reproduction number in an influenza pandemic using arrival times of imported cases
In an influenza pandemic, arrival times of cases are a proxy of the epidemic size and disease transmissibility. Because of intense surveillance of travelers from infected countries, detection is more rapid and complete than on local surveillance. Travel information can provide a more reliable estimation of transmission parameters. (Source: Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease)

Hantavirus – Lectures in geography
Are you interested in geography? Then the geography of Hantavirus is an ideal topic to explore. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) affected troops in several wars, including the war in Manchuria (12 ′600 cases among Japanese soldiers in 1930s), World War II (hundreds of cases among Finnish and German soldiers in Lapland and among Russians in Far East in 1940s), and the Korean War (3′200 cases among United Nations troops in 1950s). The causative agent was only isolated in 1978, by Ho-Wang Le e in South Korea (near the Hantan River, also transcribed as Hantaan). (Source: Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease)

Rabies antibody response after two intradermal pre-exposure prophylaxis immunizations: An observational cohort study
Rabies is a lethal, but vaccine preventable disease. Vaccination uptake is however hampered by the time-consuming three-dose, 21/28-day schedule. The aim of this study was to examine whether adequate rabies antibody titers are reached after two intradermal (ID) doses of rabies vaccine, with a seven-day window.

Impact of Hajj on the S. pneumoniae carriage among Indian pilgrims during 2016- a longitudinal molecular surveillance study
The population flow dynamics of Hajj increases the probability of pneumococcal acquisition and amplification among Hajis. This multi-site longitudinal molecular surveillance study was designed to assess the impact and potential variations of pneumococcal carriage in a single cohort of pre and post-Hajj pilgrims from India.
