Cases of Tick-Borne Illnesses Are on the Rise. Some Experts Believe Climate Change is the Cause
(NEW YORK) — In 2022, doctors recorded the first confirmed case of tick-borne encephalitis virus acquired in the United Kingdom.

At some point on his ride, at least one black-legged tick burrowed into his skin.

Eleven science stories likely to make big news in 2023
As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its fourth year as a global health emergency, researchers will continue pushing to help make the disease manageable and ordinary. They will track hundreds of subvariants of Omicron, the highly transmissible but seemingly less lethal strain of SARSCoV-2 that dominated in 2022. Virologists will watch the virus’ evolution this year to see whether it has finally slowed or a more dangerous variant pops up, evading much of the immunity that humanity has built up to previous ones. Vaccine researchers hope to develop new shots that provide broad protection against a variety of coronaviruses. Ano...

What Do Hospitalists Need to Know About Monkeypox?
What is monkeypox? Monkeypox is a rare infection caused by the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (which causes smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus.1 It was first isolated in 1958 and identified as causing human disease in 1970. This pathogen was endemic in central and western African countries up until recently. Between 2018 to May 2022, about nine cases of monkeypox were confirmed in a few non-endemic countries.2
There are two strains of monkeypox:
West African monkeypox ...
