"There have been big outbreaks almost every year since 2019, with a record high of 35,315 cases in 2020. It is almost inevitable that we will experience another large dengue outbreak in the near future.
A sliver lining to this rather sombre outlook is that we now have newer and better dengue vaccines. Although these vaccines are not perfect, they can play a crucial role in our fight against dengue."

How #climatechange could make #fungal #diseases worse
#Disease-causing #fungi are likely to thrive in a warmer, stormier world. Helping existing fungal diseases reach newer places isn’t only effect of climate change. Warming temperatures also help previously innocuous fungi evolve tolerance for heat and become deadlier. As fungi in the environment adapt to tolerate heat, some might even become capable of breaching the human temperature barrier. https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/09/how-climate-change-could-make-fungal-diseases-worse/ #climatecrisis #TheLastOfUs

Another good idea that should be universal: A sign in a café toilet saying "Close the #toilet lid before flushing, to avoid spreading #infectious #diseases".
Every toilet should have a lid, and the lid should be closed for every flush. It is amazing how unprepared we are for the next #pandemic, with no lids on many public toilets, and so little compliance with basic #hygiene.

In 2016, a 12-year-old boy died and around 100 people became sick with anthrax poisoning in a region of Siberia. Scientists think the outbreak was caused by anthrax spores released from a reindeer carcass that was newly exposed by thawing #permafrost.

This is big news. ProMED is hugely important in tracking the occurrences of #infectious #diseases around the world -- both human and in #agriculture. ProMED is on the verge of collapsing. Info from ProMED is used by international public health agencies. It's an important disease surveillance system run largely by volunteers from around the globe. It serves as a pre-warning system. It shows where the first signs of outbreaks that could be dangerous and need attention are happening. Or whether diseases are transferring from animals to humans.

"Malawi, Vanuatu and Uganda were among the eight nations that eliminated a neglected tropical disease last year, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report. That takes the number of countries that have done so since the late 1990s to almost 50, with 11 banishing more than one disease."
Curbing this spread will require considerable changes in how #food is grown and #diseases get treated, the report warns—agribusinesses, the #pharmaceutical industry, and governments across the globe must rethink, in tandem, both their prolific use of #antimicrobials and their #climate footprint.
