TL;DR: No significant common characteristics had been found between the clinical isolates and those from the environmental sources, and the Salmonella serotype distribution ofclinical isolates, in general, were different from those isolated from coastal waters as well as shellfish.

TL;DR: Among all the observed significant heat-mortality associations in highly urbanized cities, EHWEs that occurred during the nighttime, with extended length, consecutively without any break in between, or in the pattern of 2D3N might require the meteorological administration, healthcare providers, and urban planners to work interactively.

TL;DR: In this article, a spatiotemporal hazard-exposure-vulnerability assessment of the extreme heat risk in Hong Kong for 2006, 2011, and 2016 integrating cumulative very hot day hours and hot night hours in summer, population density and a principal component analysis (PCA) of demo-socioeconomic characteristics.

TL;DR: The mapping results illustrate a significant spatial variation in the extreme hot weather conditions of Hong Kong in both the daytime and nighttime, which indicates that the spatial variation of land use configurations must be considered in the risk assessment and corresponding public health management associated with theextreme hot weather.

TL;DR: The present study suggests that direct examination of HAV in shellfish may be useful for monitoring H AV in water environment.
