Short-distance airborne infections are often thought to occur by large droplets or direct contact. Recent studies have investigated the phenomenon of short-range airborne infection. In this study, the effect of relative humidity and short-distance exposure to cough droplet nuclei were evaluated. The evaluation model for infection risk was designed based on experimental data and previous studies and included sampling efficiency and virus survival rate. As observed in the comparison between short-range exposure and long-range exposure, the short-range exposure to the droplet nuclei by one cough

Lipid droplets (LDs) have traditionally been thought of as solely lipid storage compartments for cells; however, in the last decade, they have emerged as critical organelles in health and disease. LDs are highly dynamic within cells, and their movement is critical in organelle–organelle interactions. Their dynamics are known to change during cellular stress or nutrient deprivation; however, their movement during pathogen infections, especially at very early timepoints, is under-researched.

Abstract:
Many viruses, such as coronaviruses, tend to spread airborne inside water microdroplets. Evaporation of the microdroplets may result in a reduction of their contagiousness. However, the evaporation of small droplets is a complex process involving mass and heat transfer, diffusion, convection and solar radiation absorption. Virological studies indicate that airborne virus survival is very sensitive to air humidity and temperature. We employ a model of droplet evaporation with the account for the Knudsen layer. This model suggests that evaporation is sensitive to both temperature and the relativ

Abstract:
Infectious diseases are transmitted either directly from person to person via direct contact or droplet exposure, or indirectly through a vector organism (mosquito or tick) or a non-biological physical vehicle (soil or water). Vector-borne infectious diseases are highly influenced by climate factors such as temperature, precipitation, altitude, sunshine duration, and wind. Therefore, climate change is a major threat for the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases, e.g. re-emergence of dengue fever in some parts of southern Europe. The natural reservoirs of infectious diseases are either humans (anthroponoses) or animals (zoonoses). Population movement due to travel or civil unrest risks introducing non-immune populations to regions that are endemic for certain infectious diseases. By contrast, global trade contributes to the movement of animals or arthropods across the world and this poses a major risk for introducing infectious diseases to previously non-endemic settings, e.g. rats on board commercial ships and the global spread of hantaviruses; international trade in used car tyres and the risk of introducing flavivirus-infected mosquitoes into non-endemic settings; and the contribution of migratory birds to the introduction and the spread of West Nile virus in the United States. The unprecedented growth of international travel facilitates the swift movement of pathogens by travellers from one region to another. The main determinants of travel-related infections are destination country, activities undertaken during travel, and pre-existing morbidities. Therefore, the pre-travel consultation aims to assess potential health hazards associated with the trip, give advice on appropriate preventative measures, and educate the traveller about their own health. Attitudes towards seeking pre-travel health advice vary by the type of traveller. For example, those visiting friends and relatives (VFRs) in their country of origin are less likely to seek pre-travel health advice compared to tourists and therefore stand a higher chance of presenting with preventable infections such as malaria. The key aspects of a pre-travel consultation include: ● comprehensive risk assessment based on the demographic and clinical background of the traveller as well as the region of travel and itinerary.

Abstract:
For an infectious agent to spread to cause disease, certain conditions must be present. This process is called the chain of infection, which consists of six links: ● Causative agent; ● Infectious reservoir; ● Path of exit; ● Mode of transmission; ● Path of entry; and ● Susceptible host. Infection can occur when all six links are intact. By breaking this chain, the spread of infection can be stopped. ● Causative agent A micro- organism capable of causing infection is called a causative agent. Most commonly they are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. ● Infectious reservoir A reservoir of infection is the source from which infection can spread by allowing the pathogen to survive and possibly multiply. Humans, animals, and even inanimate environmental objects can serve as reservoirs of infection. There are many sources of infection in a healthcare setting. These include patients, healthcare workers, visitors, inanimate objects like medical equipment, and even the hospital environment. A human reservoir can be either an infected case, or a carrier, i.e. the person is colonized by a particular pathogen and does not present with any symptoms or signs of acute infection. Adherence to standard infection control practices is important as these asymptomatic carriers present a risk of cross infection, especially in healthcare surroundings. ● Path of exit The path of exit is how a pathogen leaves its reservoir. It normally refers to the site where the micro- organism grows. Common sites of exit associated with human reservoirs include the skin, mucous membranes, and the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts. ● Mode of transmission The mode of transmission is the route by which an infection spreads. Certain pathogens may use more than one route of transmission from reservoir to host. There are three common modes of transmission. This is the most common mode of infection transmission in a healthcare setting. It can occur either through direct contact when there is direct physical contact with the patient or indirect contact when the pathogen is transmitted from a contaminated intermediate object. Infection spreads through the airborne route when the susceptible person inhales infected particles in droplet nuclei of less than 5 μm.

Abstract:
COVID-19 is a pandemic that has emerged as a result of 2019-novel coronavirus droplet infection (2019-nCoV). Recognition of its risk and prognostic factor is critical due to its rapid dissemination and high casefatality rate. Tourism industry as one of the greatest industries has suffered a lot in the pandemic situation. The main aim of the study was to present travelers’ reaction during the pandemic by data mining methodology. The effect of eleven predictors for COVID-19 was also analyzed. The used predictors are: population density, urban population percentage, number of hospital beds, femal

Abstract:
Enterobacteriaceae, a large family of facultative anaerobic bacteria, encloses a broad spectrum of bacterial species including Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Shigella sonnei, that produce enterotoxins and cause gastrointestinal tract diseases. While much is known about the regulation and function of enterotoxins within the intestine of the host; the lack of cheap, practical, and genetically tractable model organisms has restricted the investigation of others facets of this host-pathogen interaction. Our group, among others, has employed Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism

Abstract:
A transient zonal model wit is developed to study particle distribution resulting from transient respiratory activities in spaces ventilated by displacement ventilation system (DV). Two transient sub-models are coupled: a transport model of exhaled particles computing the percentage of generated particles penetrating the infected thermal plume and tracking the exhaled jet propagation, and a transport model predicting particle exchange between the different affected layers and regions. A parametric study was performed to determine the effect of different factors on the risk of cross-infection b
