TL;DR: Evidence suggests that activities in the dried out floodplain led to infection among children and the potential health risks of long-term surviving parasites persisting on flooded grounds and in open waters even several weeks after the flooding should be considered.

TL;DR: This study suggests that there are indeed sex-specific differences in disease development and lends important epidemiological evidence to specific ready-to-eat pork products as a major source for autochthonous hepatitis E.

TL;DR: Considering the difficulty and probably limited effectiveness of CT in ground transport, the results suggest that only exceptional circumstances would justify CT and question whether the indication for CT should be revisited after a risk–benefit assessment that takes into account exposure in both ground and air transport.

TL;DR: In contrast to air travel, there are no recommendations on tracing ground transport passengers exposed to infectious pathogens, and opportunities for disease transmission in public ground transport are not necessarily lower than in air travel.
