The Respi-Radar uses six indicators from the influenza-like illness and severe acute respiratory infection sentinel surveillances in nursing homes, primary and secondary healthcare and wastewater surveillance. Additional information such as data from the national reference laboratory is also used to assess the epidemiological situation. Using the Respi-Radar tool, the RAG regularly evaluated the epidemiological situation of respiratory infections between September 2023 and March 2024.

Although human-to-human transmission has not been reported, the virus's ability to infect mammals and potential of adaptation raise public health concerns, necessitating enhanced monitoring and preparedness.AIMWe aimed to develop digital RT-PCR assays to detect and quantify influenza A(H5N1) 2.3.4.4b viruses in biological and environmental samples.METHODSWe developed two digital RT-PCR assays targeting the matrix protein (JRC-MP) and haemagglutinin (JRC-HA) genes of A(H5N1) 2.3.4.4b viruses. After in silico assessment of inclusivity and exclusivity, we evaluated the assays' performance using RNAs from influenza A(H5N1) viruses isolated from infected animal specimens, in an inter-laboratory exercise with diverse target and non-target isolates, and on wastewater samples either negative or spiked with A(H5N1) 2.3.4.4b RNA.RESULTSThe JRC-MP assay detects influenza A viruses of different subtypes and origins, while the JRC-HA assay specifically detects HPAI A(H5Nx) 2.3.4.4b strains. The assays demonstrated high sensitivity, showing consistent results in the inter-laboratory exercise. They also detected target RNAs in wastewater samples with high accuracy, despite background components, supporting potential use in wastewater surveillance programmes.CONCLUSIONSAligned with One Health strategies for zoonotic avian influenza surveillance, we propose the combined use of these two assays for the rapid and sensitive detection of influenza A(H5Nx) 2.3.4.4b in biological and environmental samples to enhance monitoring and outbreak control measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":12161,"journal":{"name":"Eurosurveillance","volume":"30 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12372895/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144948090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of long-acting (LA)-PrEP may further diversify provision dynamics.AIMWe investigated disparities in PrEP access and whether access pathways determine oral PrEP use patterns and LA-PrEP intention among PrEP-experienced men who have sex with men (MSM).METHODSUsing data from 7,505 PrEP-experienced MSM from a cross-sectional survey (PROTECT; 20 European countries, October 2023-April 2024), we used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify MSM's latent socioeconomic positions (SEPs), and logistic regression to compare the likelihood of accessing governmental/non-governmental pathways, and compare oral PrEP adherence, discontinuation and LA-PrEP intention between governmental/non-governmental pathways.RESULTSMost MSM accessed PrEP via governmental pathways (n = 6,671; 88.9%), 11.1% (n = 834) used non-governmental pathways. The LCA identified three groups: employed MSM with more advantaged SEPs, younger MSM with less advantaged SEPs, and older MSM with more advantaged SEPs. Compared with the first group, younger MSM with less advantaged SEPs were significantly more likely to access PrEP via non-governmental pathways (aOR = 1.27; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-1.55). Accessing PrEP via non-governmental pathways was associated with suboptimal adherence (aOR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.03-1.58), discontinuation (aOR = 3.55; 95% CI: 2.99-4.21), but also higher LA-PrEP intention (aOR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.06-1.56).CONCLUSIONSInequalities exist in PrEP access among MSM in Europe.
