We analysed hepatitis A (HepA) notifications and hospitalisations in Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden for available periods between 1995 2014. aimed to investigate whether decreasing HepA incidence is associated with increasing age at infection worsening presentation identify groups risk of severe disease.We performed a retrospective cohort study including 36 734 notified 849 hospitalised patients. used negative binomial regressions over time: i) trends hospitalisation...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination within a nonorganized setting creates poor cost-effectiveness scenario. However, framed an organized screening including primary HPV DNA testing with lengthening intervals may provide the best health value for invested money. To compare effectiveness and of different cervical cancer (CC) prevention strategies, current status new proposed practices, to inform decision-makers in Spain, Markov model was developed simulate natural history CC. Outcomes...
Viruses of HIV-1-infected individuals whose transmission is related group phylogenetically in clusters (TCs). The study the phylogenetic relations these viruses and factors associated with essential to analyze HIV-1 epidemic. In this study, we examine role TCs epidemiology infection Galicia Basque County, two regions northern Spain. A total 1,158 patients from both new diagnoses (NDs) 2013-2018 were included study. Partial pol sequences analyzed by approximately maximum-likelihood FastTree...
The deviations from log-linearity that are often observed in bacterial survivor curves can be explained using different arguments, both biological and experimental. In this study, we used Bacillus subtilis as a model organism to demonstrate the generally accepted vitalistic arguments (initial heterogeneities stress resistance of cells population) may fail describe microbial inactivation some situations. sense, showed how dynamic acclimation during an isothermal treatment provides alternative...
In this article, the thermal inactivation of two Salmonella strains (Salmonella Enteritidis CECT4300 and Senftenberg CECT4565) was studied under both isothermal dynamic conditions. We observed large differences between these strains, with S. being much more resistant than Enteritidis. Under conditions, had non-linear survivor curves, whereas response log-linear. Therefore, weibullian models were used to describe Senftenberg, Mafart model suitable one. For Enteritidis, Bigelow (log-linear)...
Eleven Salmonella spp. isolates with the antigenic type 11:z 41 :e,n,z 15 - not referred to in 9th edition of White-Kauffman–Le Minor Scheme were identified at National Reference Laboratory for Greece. Their pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles indistinguishable. No apparent epidemiological link has yet been identified; results a case–case study are pending.
Background: waterborne disease outbreaks (WGDOs) following the contamination of drinking water remain a public health concern. Methods: The current study aims to assess occurrence and identify gaps in notification investigation WGDOs Greece. Data for 2004–2023 were retrieved summarized. Results: Thirty-five with 6128 recorded cases identified. median time from date onset first reporting was 7 days (range: 1–26 days). Authorities informed by care services thirty (85.7%) media five (14.3%)....
Unsafe food poses global health threats, potentially endangering consumers. The great majority of people will experience a food-borne disease at some point in their lives. Ready-to-eat (RTE) is the one intended by producer or manufacturer for direct human consumption without need cooking other processing effective to eliminate reduce concentration pathogenic microorganisms. Prepared foods are often complex and may contain multiple components that make them vulnerable growth Among all...
