  1. 477. Watching the buzzzz: Public, media and knowledge attention to mosquito-borne disease risk in Europe
    Dr Maria Eugenia Degano (Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung)
    10/6/26, 9:00 AM
    Public Health
    Oral presentation

    Mosquito-borne disease risk is becoming increasingly visible in Europe, but countries are not experiencing or communicating this risk in the same way. Understanding how this risk is reported and framed matters because media coverage can shape public awareness, information-seeking behaviour, and support for preparedness. Here, we investigate how public, media and knowledge-seeking attention...

  2. 383. When does forecasting become actionable? Real-time vs. seasonal prediction of Aedes aegypti abundance
    Dr Gaëlle Sehi (University of California Irvine; Institute of Epidemiology and Social Medicine, University of Münster)
    10/6/26, 9:15 AM
    Public Health
    Oral presentation

    Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, has expanded its range globally, increasing demand for spatially granular forecasting tools to support vector control. Short-term forecasts can inform near-term surveillance and intervention planning; however, few studies evaluate real-time, site-level approaches operationally. Using weekly trap data from 2017–2023 across...

  3. 448. Emergence of Northern European TBE virus strains in Central Europe
    Gerhard Dobler (Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology)
    10/6/26, 9:30 AM
    Public Health
    Oral presentation

    Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the most important tick-borne viral disease in Europe. The virus belongs to the family “Flaviviridae”. Using genetic analyses strains from different geographic origin can be identified and characterized.
    During the last years TBE virus strains were isolated and genetically characterized. The whole genomes of the isolated virus strains were sequenced and...

  4. 453. Burden and Awareness of Zoonotic Tuberculosis in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
    Mr Guash Abay Assefa (Department of Epidemiology, Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, Braunschweig, Germany; PhD Programme “Epidemiology” Braunschweig-Hannover, Germany)
    10/6/26, 9:45 AM
    Public Health
    Oral presentation

    Zoonotic tuberculosis (zTB), caused by animal-associated members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), remains a public health problem in Africa. Understanding both the burden of zTB and community awareness is essential for zTB interventions.
    Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Studies reporting laboratory-confirmed MTBC species were...

  5. 474. Contact heterogeneity in network reconstruction: evaluating synthetic graph generators for rabies transmission modeling
    Dr Inez Derkx (Swiss TPH)
    10/6/26, 10:15 AM
    Novel Methods, Technologies & AI
    Oral presentation

    Canine rabies remains endemic across much of Africa and Asia, causing approximately 59,000 human deaths annually. Network-based models can capture the heterogeneous contact patterns driving rabies transmission, but generating synthetic networks that faithfully reproduce empirical contact structures and downstream transmission dynamics is non-trivial. We compared five network generators...
