Avoiding areas thought to be disease hotspots may actually make outbreaks worse if local case reporting is incomplete. New research involving #WorldPop scientists reveals how travel behaviour can distort health data and hide disease risks, especially in rural areas. Better local reporting could save lives.

Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease

"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

The WHO has declared Mpox a ‘public health emergency of international concern.’ Is it time to worry?

Have you ever had a weak positive test for West Nile #virus only to test negative on a subsequent test?

One recurring problem with #epidemiology of #flavivirus #InfectiousDisease is that antibody tests for one flavivirus happen to be highly crossreactive with other flaviviruses.

That is a problem addressed in:
