  • The disappearance of malaria from Denmark, 1862-1900

    Open AccessMathias Mølbak Ingholt, Maarten Van Wijhe et al.ARTICLEThe Economic History Review2025References: 20

    The reason for malaria's disappearance from northwestern Europe in the early twentieth century has long been discussed but remains an unresolved conundrum. This is partially due to a previous focus on the early modern era, and partially because various theories have never been tested against each other. In this study, we test some of the proposed hypotheses using nineteenth-century Denmark as a case. We found that the accelerating agricultural im…

  • Severity of respiratory tract infections depends on the infectious dose. Perspectives for the next pandemic

    Open AccessKåre Mølbak, Thorkild I A Sørensen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, much has been said about the importance of host-specific and virus-specific factors as predictors of the risk of infection and severity of disease. For example, host factors such as increased age, male gender, ethnicity, and comorbidities such as metabolic and pulmonary disorders have been recognized as risk factors for severe disease, whereas host immunity stemming from prior infection or vaccination against severe …

  • Global mortality associated with seasonal influenza epidemics

    Open AccessJohn Paget, Peter Spreeuwenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2019

    BACKGROUND: Until recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the annual mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000 all-cause deaths globally; however, a 2017 study indicated a substantially higher mortality burden, at 290 000-650 000 influenza-associated deaths from respiratory causes alone, and a 2019 study estimated 99 000-200 000 deaths from lower respiratory tract infections directly caused by influenza. Here we revis…

  • The impact of influenza epidemics on mortality

    Lone Simonsen, Matthew Clarke et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1997Cited by: 11References: 13

    OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of recent influenza epidemics on mortality in the United States and to develop an index for comparing the severity of individual epidemics. METHODS: A cyclical regression model was applied to weekly national vital statistics from 1972 through 1992 to estimate excesses in pneumonia and influenza mortality and all-cause mortality for each influenza season. Each season was categorized on…
