“…Reports in this journal have dealt with Hantavirus infections in Germany [69,70], travel-associated Ross River and Dengue virus infections [71,72] as well as with the epidemiology of Chikungunya virus infection [73]. A review has dealt with lessons learned from Leishmaniasis regarding the determinants of success or failure of intracellular cutaneous parasites [74].…”

A look back is done to some clinical and basic research activities recently published in medical microbiology and immunology. The review covers clinical experiences and in vitro experiments to understand the emergency, pathogenicity, epidemic spread, and vaccine-based prevention of avian and swine-origin flu. Some new developments and concepts in diagnosis, (molecular) epidemiology, and therapy of AIDS, viral hepatitis C, and herpesvirus-associated diseases are outlined. Regulation of immune system has been discussed in a special issue 2010 including some aspects of CNS affections (measles). Mycobacterial infection and its prevention by modern recombinant vaccines have reached new interest, as well as new concepts of vaccination and prophylaxis against several other bacteria. Adaptation to host niches enables immune escape (example brucella) and determines virulence (example N. meningitidis). Chlamydia pneumoniae, previously considered to trigger atherosclerosis, is hypothetically associated to Alzheimer disease, while CMV, another putative trigger of atherosclerosis, gains evidence of oncomodulation in CNS tumor diseases. In terms of globalization, exotic virus infections are increasingly imported from southern countries.

“…This could lead to an increase of RRV infections in travellers returning from Australia and respective infections should be considered in patients presenting with fever, rash and arthralgia. Sporadic cases of RRV infections in travellers returning from Australia have been described earlier [11][12][13][14] .…”

“…In a serum sample taken 5 days after symptom onset, no IgM or IgG against ZIKV, dengue virus (DENV), Japanese encephalitis virus, yellow fever virus, or chikungunya virus was detected by in-house indirect immunofluorescence ( 5 , 6 ). Only a weak IgG titer of 1:20 (and no IgM) against tick-borne encephalitis virus was found (cutoff <1:20).…”
