Background Climatic variables constitute important extrinsic determinants of transmission
and seasonality of influenza. Yet quantitative evidence of independent associations of viral …

Air pollution can cause disease and has become a major global environmental problem. It is
currently believed that air pollution may be related to the progression of SSNHL. As a rapidly …

Background Several previous studies investigated the associations between temperature
and influenza in a single city or region without a national picture. The attributable risk of …

Background Prior studies have reported the effects of particulate matter (PM) on respiratory
disease (RD) hospitalizations, but few have quantified PM-related economic loss in the …

Background Recently, attention has focused on the impact of global climate change on
infectious diseases. Storm flooding is an extreme weather phenomenon that not only …

This paper aims to study the cumulative lag effect of meteorological factors on brucellosis
incidence and the prediction performance based on Random Forest model. The monthly …

Background The associations between ambient temperature and influenza-like illness (ILI)
have been investigated in previous studies. However, they have inconsistent results. The …

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to understand the complex network of factors that
contribute to its pathogenesis and epidemiology in order to be able to prevent, predict, and …

Previous studies on temperature and infectious diseases primarily focused on individual
disease types, yielding inconsistent conclusions. This study collected monthly data on …

It is well known that low air temperatures negatively affect the human respiratory system and
can suppress protective mechanisms in airways epithelial cells. In this study, we put forward …
