“…2,3 Therefore, this disease poses a serious threat to public health in countries with a high incidence, such as China and other Asia-Pacific countries. [4][5][6][7][8] China accounted for 86% of the total cases reported to the WHO between 2010 and 2014, and it reported an alarming number of approximately 2.7 million cases of HFMD, resulting in 384 deaths in 2014. 9 Although vaccines against EV-71 for children aged 6 months to 5 years have been available since 2015, no effective vaccines for other Coxsackieviruses exist yet, and the incidence of HFMD has not decreased.…”

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in the Asia-Pacific region that primarily affects children younger than 5 years. Previous studies have confirmed that the seasonal transmission of this disease is strongly related to meteorological factors, but the results are not consistent. In addition, the associations between weather conditions and HFMD in northwestern China have not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to examine this issue in Xi'an, the largest city of northwestern China that has been suffering from serious HFMD epidemics. In the current study, data for HFMD and six meteorological factors were collected from 2009 to 2018. Using crosscorrelation analysis, the Granger causality test, and the distributed lag nonlinear model, we estimated the quantitative relationships and exposure-lag-response effects between weekly meteorological factors and HFMD incidence among children. We found that the seasonal distribution of HFMD in Xi'an has two peaks each year and is significantly impacted by the weekly temperature, precipitation, and evaporation over an 8-week period. Higher values of temperature and evaporation had positive associations with disease transmission, whereas the association between precipitation and HFMD showed an inverted-U shape. The maximum relative risks (RRs) of HFMD for the weekly mean temperature (approximately 31.1°C), weekly cumulative evaporation (57.9 mm), and weekly cumulative precipitation (30.0 mm) were 1.

Peacock bass (Cichla spp.) originates from the Neotropical environments of Brazil and Venezuela but, through trade and smuggling for aquarium keeping, sport fishing and aquaculture, it is now an emerging concern. Yet, less is known for Cichla spp. distribution and its ability to invade new environments. Aimed to communicate on Cichla spp. ecology, biology and introduction schemes from Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and also National Centre for Biotechnology Information, this review also contains management strategies for invading fish species. While Cichla spp. can displace native fish populations, this concern is explained using ecological functions, physiological demands, direct and secondary invasion, disease tolerance and parasite spillover. Briefly, Cichla spp. has rapid embryogenesis (72 h) and matures in short periods (11-12 months), giving it an advantage to colonize new environments. With a large appetite, this true piscivore gains territorial control over water bodies by making it their feeding and nursery grounds. Perceived as an emerging concern after becoming introduced, seal-off or sport fishing were used to manage Cichla spp. but, this practice is not sustainable for the entire ecosystem. Hence, we recommend bottom-up management that involves community participation because they interact with the fish and have knowledge about their environment.

Monkeypox and Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease Outbreak in India: A Double Trouble?

Amidst the coronavirus disease pandemic, the recent concurrent Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease and monkeypox outbreak in India has been a major cause of public health concern. Currently, more than eighty-two children below the age of 5 years have been infected with Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease and ten confirmed cases and eight suspected cases of monkeypox have been identified in India. Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease or tomato fever is a viral infection commonly caused by coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71. Monkeypox virus, belonging to the Poxviridae family, is the causative agent for monkeypox. Since both Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease and monkeypox are viral diseases having similar signs and symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish between the two clinically. Improper diagnosis will lead to incorrect treatment of the disease, thus adding the burden of the disease on society. It is, therefore, imperative to distinguish the two disease entities, to ensure that an accurate diagnosis is made and prompt management is initiated. The Government needs to standardize the treatment protocol and issue appropriate guidelines to curb the further outbreak of these infections in the country.
