The differential spread and impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), across regions is a major focus for researchers policy makers. Africa has attracted tremendous attention, due to predictions catastrophic impacts that have not yet materialized. Early in the pandemic, seemingly low African case count was largely attributed testing reporting. However, there reason consider many countries attenuated early on. Factors explaining include government community-wide actions, population distribution, social contacts, ecology human habitation. While recent data from seroprevalence studies posit more extensive circulation virus, continuing COVID-19 burden may be explained by demographic pyramid, prevalence pre-existing conditions, trained immunity, genetics, broader sociocultural dynamics. Though all these prongs contribute observed profile Africa, some provide stronger evidence than others. This review important expand what known about pandemics, enhancing scientific understanding gearing appropriate public health responses. Furthermore, it highlights potential lessons draw global on assumptions regarding deadly viral given its long experience with infectious diseases.

In this Personal View, we explain the ways that climatic risks affect transmission, perception, response, and lived experience of COVID-19. First, temperature, wind, humidity influence transmission COVID-19 in not fully understood, although non-climatic factors appear more important than explaining disease transmission. Second, extremes coinciding with have affected exposure, increased susceptibility people to COVID-19, compromised emergency responses, reduced health system resilience multiple stresses. Third, long-term climate change prepandemic vulnerabilities risk for some populations (eg, marginalised communities). The interact vary considerably between within regions, are by dynamic complex interactions underlying socioeconomic, political, demographic, cultural conditions. These conditions can lead vulnerability, resilience, transformation, or collapse systems, communities, livelihoods throughout varying timescales. It is response recovery measures consider risks, particularly locations susceptible extremes, through integrated planning includes public health, disaster preparedness, management, sustainable development, humanitarian response.

An impressive number of COVID-19 data catalogs exist. However, none are fully optimized for science applications. Inconsistent naming and conventions, uneven quality control, lack alignment between disease potential predictors pose barriers to robust modeling analysis. To address this gap, we generated a unified dataset that integrates implements checks the from numerous leading sources epidemiological environmental data. We use globally consistent hierarchy administrative units facilitate analysis within across countries. The applies align with other types relevant understanding predicting risk, including hydrometeorological data, air quality, information on control policies, vaccine key demographic characteristics.

Background: One Health is a comprehensive and multisectoral approach to assess examine the health of animals, humans environment. However, while gains increasing momentum, its practical application meets hindrances. This paper investigates environmental pillar approach, using two case studies highlight integration considerations. The first study pertains Danish monitoring surveillance programme for antimicrobial resistance, DANMAP. second illustrates occurrence aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk dairy-producing ruminants Italian regions. Method: A scientific literature search was conducted PubMed Web Science locate articles informing cases. Grey gathered describe cases as well their contexts. Results: 19 10 reports were reviewed informed show how component influences apparent impacts human animal health. DANMAP highlights approaches farm fork. provides information on comprehensiveness DANMAP, but some shortcomings terms AFM1 case, metabolite carcinogenic mycotoxin B1, shows that dairy products are heavily impacted by changes climate economic drivers. Conclusions: conditions directly influence onset diffusion hazardous factors. Climate change, treatment soils, water standards slaughterhouses farms can have great impact Hence, it important include considerations, example, via engaging experts sharing data. Further will help better define roles environment scenarios.

In the last year, in connection with COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, scientific papers have appeared which authors are trying to identify factors (including environmental) favoring spread of this disease. This paper presents spatial differentiation total number cases and deaths during full year (March 2020-March 2021) Poland versus green-blue spaces (green-i.a. forests, orchards, meadows pastures, recreational rest areas, biologically active arable land; blue-lakes artificial water reservoirs, rivers, ecological areas internal waters) population density. The analysis covers 380 counties, including 66 cities. study used daily reports on progress published Ministry Health Republic unique, detailed data 24 types land use available Statistics database. Statistical relationships were determined between above-mentioned environmental variables characterizing (cases deaths). Various basic regression models analysed. optimal model was selected, determination coefficient, significance level values parameters these relationships, together estimation error, calculated. obtained results indicated that higher individual lower infections deaths. These described logarithmic homographic models. turn, an increase density deaths, according power model. can be current pandemic, location potential outbreaks. developed as a tool forecasting development making decisions about implementation preventive measures.
