We describe a large C. parvum outbreak following a lamb-feeding event at a commercial farm in Wales in 2024, alongside findings from a cohort study to identify high-risk exposures. Sixty-seven cases were identified, 57 were laboratory-confirmed C. parvum, with similar genotypes. Environmental investigations found a lack of adherence to established guidance. The cohort study identified 168 individuals with cryptosporidiosis-like illness from 540 exposure questionnaires (distributed via email to 790 lead bookers). Cases were more likely to have had closer contact with lambs (odds ratio (OR) kissed lambs = 2.4, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.2-4.8). A multivariable analysis found cases were more likely to be under 10 years (adjusted OR (aOR) = 4.5, 95% CI: 2.0-10.0) and have had visible faeces on their person (aOR = 3.6, 95% CI: 2.1-6.2). We provide evidence that close contact at lamb-feeding events presents an increased likelihood of illness, suggesting that farms should limit animal contact at these events and that revisions to established codes of practice may be necessary. Enhancing risk awareness among farmers and visitors is needed, particularly regarding children.","PeriodicalId":11721,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology and Infection","volume":" ","pages":"e82"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144625546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of risk assessment, the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis among pregnant people must be quantitatively elucidated. Herein, we investigated the risk of primary T. gondii infection during pregnancy in Japan, estimating the incidence of T. gondii infection among pregnant people as well as that of congenital toxoplasmosis. We used a compartment model that captured the infection dynamics in pregnant people, analysing prescription data for spiramycin in Japan, together with local serological testing results and the screening rate of primary T. gondii infection during pregnancy. The nationwide risk of T. gondii infection pregnant people in Japan was estimated to be 0.016% per month. Among prefectures investigated, the risk estimate was highest in Tokyo with 0.030% per month. Nationally, the number of T. gondii infections among pregnant people in the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 was estimated to be 1507, 1440, and 1388 infections, respectively. The nationwide number of cases of congenital toxoplasmosis in each year was estimated at 613, 588, and 567 cases, respectively.

We applied a meta-analytical model within a Bayesian estimation framework to pool population attributable fractions (PAFs) from European case-control studies of sporadic campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis. The input data were obtained from two existing systematic reviews, supplemented with additional literature searches, covering the period 2000-2021. In total, 12 studies on Campylobacter providing data for 180 PAFs referring to 5983 cases and 13213 controls, and five studies on Salmonella providing data for 75 PAFs referring to 2908 cases and 5913 controls, were included. All these studies were conducted in Western or Northern European countries. Both pathogens were estimated as being predominantly linked to food- and waterborne transmission, which explained nearly half of the cases, with Campylobacter being mainly attributable to poultry (meat), and Salmonella to poultry (eggs and meat) and pig (meat), as specific foodborne exposures. When also considering contact with animals, around 60% of cases could be explained by the larger group of zoonotic transmission pathways. While environmental transmission was also sizeable (around 10%), about a quarter of cases could be explained by factors such as travel, underlying diseases/medicine use, person-to-person transmission and occupational exposure.","PeriodicalId":11721,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology and Infection","volume":" ","pages":"e77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12247009/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144526877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to describe the spatial-temporal patterns of dengue spread during the epidemic years of 2002, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2024 in Rio de Janeiro. This is an ecological study using secondary data on notified confirmed dengue cases aggregated by neighbourhood. The incidence rates were estimated via the local empirical Bayes method. The local spatial autocorrelation indicators assessed incidence clusters, and the monthly geographic trajectory was outlined for each year. The results revealed changes in the spatial distribution of dengue over time, with clusters of high incidences predominating in the northern and central neighbourhoods in 2002 and 2008, and in the western zone in 2011, 2012, and 2013. In 2024, the distribution was predominant throughout the city, with emphasis in the central and western zones. The monthly geographic centre of dengue cases shifted from the west to the north during the peak of the epidemic. These results highlight the heterogeneous nature of dengue transmission in Rio de Janeiro. The incorporation of spatial and temporal analyses in epidemiological studies can enhance targeted and localized dengue control strategies.","PeriodicalId":11721,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology and Infection","volume":" ","pages":"e78"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12247006/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144526876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to characterize monkeypox virus (MPXV) genomes in Indonesia, to explore viral evolution and transmission. Genomic analysis was conducted on 53 isolates from Indonesian mpox patients between 2023 and 2024. All sequences belonged to Clade IIb, with identified sub-clades including A.1.1, B.1, B.1.3, and C.1 - of which C.1 became dominant during this period. Out of 87 mpox-confirmed cases, 60.9% (53/87) were successfully sequenced and submitted to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). The majority of cases in Indonesia occurred among males (95.4%), men who have sex with men (59.8%), and people living with HIV/AIDS (71.3%). Notably, a large portion of cases had no travel history, suggesting local transmission. Initially, only clade IIb (B.1) was detected in October 2022. By August 2023, lineage diversity had increased, with B.1.3 and C.1 emerging as the predominant sub-clades. A time-calibrated phylogenetic tree revealed genetic relatedness and shared ancestry within clade IIb. Integrating genomic and epidemiological data offers valuable insights to improve mpox surveillance and public health response in Indonesia and the broader region.","PeriodicalId":11721,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology and Infection","volume":" ","pages":"e79"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12247005/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144526875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
