A remarkable excess mortality has coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. We present preliminary pooled estimates of all-cause for 24 European countries/federal states participating monitoring public health action (EuroMOMO) network, period March–April 2020. Excess particularly affected ≥ 65 year olds (91% all deaths), but also 45–64 (8%) and 15–44 (1%). No was observed 0–14 olds.
Weekly monitoring of European all-cause excess mortality, the EuroMOMO network, observed high mortality during influenza B/Yamagata dominated 2017/18 winter season, especially among elderly. We describe and influenza-attributable season in Europe.Based on weekly reporting from 24 countries or sub-national regions, representing 60% population excluding Russian Turkish parts Europe, we estimated age stratified morality using model. In addition, was FluMOMO algorithm, incorporating activity...
Since December 2016, excess all-cause mortality was observed in many European countries, especially among people aged ≥ 65 years. We estimated and influenza-attributable 19 countries/regions. Excess primarily explained by circulation of influenza virus A(H3N2). Cold weather snaps contributed some countries. The pattern similar to the last major A(H3N2) season 2014/15 Europe, although starting earlier line with early start.
ABSTRACT Background In 2021, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health established temporary registry‐based surveillance severe acute respiratory infections (SARI). We aimed to describe system and evaluate selected attributes inform establishment a permanent SARI system. Methods cases were defined using ICD‐10 discharge codes from national health administrative registries, including for upper or lower infection (URI LRI), COVID‐19, distress syndrome, pertussis otitis media. Data polymerase...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) poses a substantial threat to several raptors. Between 2021 and 2023, HPAI viruses (HPAIVs) of the Goose/Guangdong lineage H5 clade 2.3.4.4b became widespread in wild birds Norway, H5N1 H5N5 were detected 31 white-tailed eagles (
Wild aquatic birds constitute the natural reservoir for avian influenza viruses (AIVs). Separate Eurasian and American AIV gene pools exist. Here, prevalence diversity of AIVs in gulls dabbling ducks Norway were described. The influence host species temporal changes on was examined. Five from Norway, including three common gull (Larus canus), analyzed along with 10 available genomes Eurasia to search evidence intracontinental intercontinental reassortment segments encoding internal viral...
Gulls are the primary hosts of H13 and H16 avian influenza viruses (AIVs). The molecular basis for this host restriction is only partially understood. In study, amino acid sequences from Eurasian gull AIVs (non H16) were compared to determine if specific signatures present in internal proteins AIVs, using a bioinformatics approach. Amino acids identified an initial analysis performed on 15 selected checked against comprehensive set AIV retrieved Genbank verify them as signatures. Analysis...
BAKGRUNN Det første tilfellet av påvist SARS-CoV-2 i Norge ble bekreftet 26. februar 2020. Etter forsterkede råd om generelle smitteverntiltak begynnelsen utbruddet det 12. mars iverksatt omfattende nasjonale kontrolltiltak, og testingen rettet mot alvorlig syke. Her beskriver vi de seks ukene Norge, sett lys testkriterier kontrolltiltak. MATERIALE OG METODE Vi beskrev alle laboratoriebekreftede covid-19-tilfeller rapportert til tre forskjellige overvåkingssystemer ved Folkehelseinstituttet...
The infectivity, transmission, and pathogenicity potential of avian influenza virus (AIV) subtype H16N3, isolated from the European herring gull (Larus argentatus), was examined in chickens. Nineteen 6-wk-old commercial Lohmann white chickens were inoculated intranasally with 1 × 106 50% egg infectious dose clinical signs, humoral immune response, shedding, pathologic changes respiratory tract studied. Oropharyngeal cloacal swabs collected for viral RNA detection by real-time reverse...
14.12.2020: Originalartikkel - Tre ulike datakilder for måling av sykehusinnleggelser med covid-19 (daglig innrapportering til Helsedirektoratet / NIPaR registerkobling NPR og MSIS) ga tilnærmet like resultater.
Background Underlying conditions are risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes but evidence is limited about how risks differ with age. Aim We sought to estimate age-specific associations between underlying and hospitalisation, death in-hospital among cases. Methods analysed case-based data submitted The European Surveillance System 2 June 13 December 2020 by nine countries. Eleven cases only one condition the number of multimorbid were used as exposures. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) estimated...

Vibrio cholerae infections, both vibriosis and cholera, are rare in Northern Europe. However, the coastal areas suitable for transmission have increased during recent years. Accessible validated molecular diagnostic methods needed to monitor such infections. Here, we describe comparison validation of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data analysis V. characterization public health institutes Finland Norway. The results showed a concordance 96.7% between two countries.
Abstract. This paper explores the application of real-time spatial information from urban transport systems to understand outbreak, severity and spread seasonal flu epidemics a perspective. We believe that combining travel data with epidemiological will be first step develop tool predict future better effects these outbreaks have on societal functions over time. Real-time data-streams provide powerful, yet underutilised when it comes monitoring detecting changes daily behaviour inhabitants....
