TL;DR: Compared with other epidemic coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 causes mild or asymptomatic disease in most cases; however, severe to critical illness occurs in a small proportion of infected individuals, with the highest rate seen in people older than 70 years.

TL;DR: Inadequately cooked or cured meat is the main risk factor for infection with toxoplasma in all centres and preventive strategies should aim to reduce prevalence of infection in meat, improve labelling of meat according to farming and processing methods, and improve the quality and consistency of health information given to pregnant women.

TL;DR: COVID-19 seems not to be very different from SARS regarding its clinical features, however, it has a fatality rate lower than that of SARS and MERS and the possibility cannot be excluded that because of the less severe clinical picture of CO VID-19 it can spread in the community more easily than Mers and SARS.

TL;DR: The epidemiology, clinical features, and management of monkeypox is reviewed and its growing public health threat is discussed in this context.

TL;DR: The epidemiology and clinical features of the current ZIKV outbreak in Brazil are reviewed, knowledge gaps are highlighted, and the public health implications are reviewed to highlight the urgent need for a coordinated collaborative response to spread of infectious diseases with epidemic potential at mass gatherings events.
