Climate change may influence water quality and availability (drinking and bathing) while also leading to increased risks of flooding in some regions. 
Podnebne spremembe lahko vplivajo tudi na kakovost in razpoložljivost vode (za pitje in umivanje), na nekaterih območjih pa lahko povečajo tveganje za poplave.
Thus water-borne diseases , such as those caused by Cryptosporidium in drinking water and Vibrio bacteria in bathing water, need to be further examined for their potential links to climate change, along with air-borne diseases and rodent-borne diseases . 
Tako je treba poleg bolezni, ki se prenašajo po zraku in prek glodalcev, podrobneje proučiti tudi bolezni, ki se prenašajo z vodo, na primer bolezni, ki jih povzročajo kriptosporidiji v pitni vodi in bakterija Vibrio v vodi za umivanje, in njihove možne povezave s podnebnimi spremembami.
For each of the above examples, it is important to point out that our current understandings contain elements of uncertainty. 
Za vsakega od navedenih primerov je pomembno poudariti, da so v našem trenutnem poznavanju tudi elementi negotovosti.
Climate change is one of many important factors driving infectious disease spread, alongside human and animal population dynamics, intense global levels of trade and travel, changing patterns of land use, and so on. 
Podnebne spremembe so eden od pomembnih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na razširjanje prenosljivih bolezni, skupaj s populacijsko dinamiko ljudi in živali, intenzivnostjo trgovanja in potovanj na svetovni ravni, spreminjajočih se vzorcev rabe zemlje in tako naprej.
Thus one important area of ECDC activity is to further quantify and examine the links between climate change and other determinants of communicable diseases. 
Pomembno področje delovanja centra ECDC sta tako nadaljnje merjenje in preučevanje povezav med podnebnimi spremembami in drugimi dejavniki nalezljivih bolezni.
European Environment and Epidemiology Network (E3): 
Evropska mreža za okolje in epidemiologijo (E3):
21st Century Surveillance 
spremljanje v 21. stoletju
The pan-European capacity to analyse, predict and respond to changing communicable disease patterns due to global change is currently underdeveloped. 
Vseevropska zmogljivost analiziranja, napovedovanja in odzivanja na spremenjene vzorce nalezljivih bolezni zaradi podnebnih sprememb trenutno še ni ustrezno razvita.
Despite the abundance of environmental and epidemiologic data, they are often not linked, thereby preventing public health and environmental agencies and scientists from gaining more comprehensive understandings of the multi-causal pathways that drive environmental and epidemiological change. 
Čeprav je na voljo ogromno okoljskih in epidemioloških podatkov, pa ti pogosto niso povezani, kar agencijam in strokovnjakom na področju javnega zdravja in okolja le še otežuje boljše razumevanje več vzročnih dejavnikov, ki povzročajo okoljske in epidemiološke spremembe.
To address this shortcoming ECDC is exploring the development of the European Environment and Epidemiology Network (E3) that could link climatic/environmental and infectious disease data in order to strengthen European capacity in forecasting, monitoring and responding to the threats posed by new and emerging diseases. 
ECDC poskuša to pomanjkljivost rešiti s preučevanjem možnosti za razvoj Evropske mreže za okolje in epidemiologijo (E3), ki bi lahko povezala podnebne/okoljske podatke in podatke o nalezljivih boleznih ter tako okrepila evropsko zmogljivost na področju napovedovanja, spremljanja in odzivanja na grožnje, ki jih predstavljajo nove in nastajajoče bolezni.
The E3 network would connect epidemic intelligence and infectious disease surveillance data (currently housed at ECDC) with meteorological variables, entomological data, water quality records, air quality measures, remote sensing information, geology, population density and many other information sources. 
Mreža E3 bi lahko povezala podatke o epidemijah in spremljanju nalezljivih bolezni (trenutno na voljo v ECDC) z meteorološkimi spremenljivkami, entomološkimi podatki, podatki o kakovosti vode, meritvami kakovosti zraka, podatki spremljanja na daljavo, geologijo, gostoto prebivalstva in veliko drugimi informacijskimi viri.
Through integrating and synthesizing these data sets, disease surveillance systems would be able to incorporate and analyse environmental precursors to disease pandemics, thus preparing public health to meet the challenges of our time. 
S povezovanjem in usklajevanjem teh podatkov bi v sisteme nadzorovanja bolezni lahko vključili okoljske predhodnike bolezenskih pandemij in jih analizirali, javno zdravje pa tako pripravili na soočenje z izzivi današnjega časa.
Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic bacterium, widely distributed in soil and intestinal tracts of animals. 
Clostridium difficile je anaerobna bakterija, ki je široko razširjena v tleh in črevesnih traktih živali.
The clinical spectrum of C. difficile infection (CDI) ranges from mild diarrhoea to severe life threatening pseudomembranous colitis. 
Klinični spekter okužbe s C. difficile sega od blage driske do hudega smrtno nevarnega psevdomembranskega kolitisa.
The disease is not always associated with previous antibiotic use. 
Bolezen ni vedno povezana s predhodno uporabo antibiotikov.
There is an increase of reports of community-acquired CDI in individuals previously not recognized as predisposed. 
Vedno več je poročil o zunajbolnišničnih okužbah s C. difficile pri posameznikih, pri katerih ni bilo prepoznane predhodne nagnjenosti k okužbi.
CDI is also recognised increasingly in a variety of animal species. 
Okužba je vedno pogostejša tudi pri različnih živalskih vrstah.
The impact of CDI on modern healthcare is significant. 
Vpliv okužbe s C. difficile je v sodobnem zdravstvu zelo pomemben.
In terms of costs, this translates into €5.000-15.000 per case in England and $1.1 billion per year in the USA. 
V stroških to pomeni 5 000– 15 000 EUR na posamezen primer v Angliji in 1,1 milijarde USD letno v ZDA.
Assuming the population of European Union to be 457 million, CDI can be estimated to potentially cost the Union €3.000 million per annum. 
Če predpostavimo, da je v Evropski uniji 457 milijonov prebivalcev, to pomeni, da lahko stroški zaradi okužb s C. difficile znašajo okoli 3 000 milijonov EUR na leto.
It is expected to almost double over the next four decades. 
V naslednjih štirih desetletjih naj bi se ta številka skoraj podvojila.
Since March 2003, increasing rates of CDI have been reported in Canada and USA with a more severe course, higher mortality, and more complications. 
Od marca 2003 so v Kanadi in ZDA poročali o porastu okužb s C difficile s hujšim potekom, večjo umrljivostjo in več zapleti.
This increased virulence is assumed to be associated with higher amounts of toxin production by fluoroquinolone-resistant strains belonging to PCR ribotype 027, toxinotype III and PFGE NAP1. 
Povečana virulenca naj bi bila povezana z večjo količino toksinov, ki jih tvorijo sevi, odporni na fluorokinolon, ki sodijo v PCR-ribotip 027, toksinotip III in PFGE NAP1.
Cases of CDI due to the new, highly virulent strain of C. difficile PCR ribotype 027 have been reported in Belgium, Germany, Finland, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). 
O primerih okužb zaradi novega zelo virulentnega seva C. difficile PCR-ribotip 027 so poročali v Belgiji, Nemčiji, na Finskem, v Franciji, na Irskem, v Luksemburgu, na Nizozemskem, v Švici in Združenem kraljestvu (Anglija, Wales in Severna Irska).
It has also been detected in Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Norway, Poland and Spain, and in Scotland. 
Opazili so ga tudi v Avstriji, na Danskem, Madžarskem, Norveškem, Poljskem, v Španiji in na Škotskem.
The outbreaks are very difficult to control. 
Izbruhe je zelo težko nadzorovati.
However, recent experience from Canada shows that this may be possible by combining infection control measures combined with optimisation of antimicrobial prescribing. 
Vendar pa nedavne izkušnje iz Kanade kažejo, da je to možno s skupnim izvajanjem ukrepov za nadzor okužb in optimizacijo predpisovanja protimikrobnih sredstev.
No information is available on community-acquired cases of PCR ribotype 027. Data on the incidence of PCR ribotype 027 in nursing homes are limited. 
Informacij o zunajbolnišničnih okužbah s PCR-ribotipom 027 ni. Podatki o pojavnosti PCR-ribotipa 027 v domovih za bolniško nego so omejeni.
Outbreaks are possible and PCR ribotype 027 has been reported in nursing homes in France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway and Scotland. 
Izbruhi so možni in o PCR-ribotipu 027 so poročali v domovih za bolniško nego v Franciji, Nemčiji, na Nizozemskem, Norveškem in Škotskem.

Diphtheria 
Davica
Diphtheria is an acute disease caused by toxin-producing strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae (in some cases also by Corynebacterium ulcerans ) bacteria, that is known to colonise mucous membranes. 
Davica je akutna bolezen, ki jo povzročajo toksikogeni sevi bakterije Corynebacterium diphtheriae (v nekaterih primerih tudi Corynebacterium ulcerans ), ki se naselijo na sluznici.
Following infection, after a usually short incubation period (2–5 days), the release of the cytotoxin may produce characteristic lesions on the affected mucous membranes (tonsils, pharynx, larynx, nose) or wounds. 
Po kratki dobi inkubacije (2– 5 dni) nastopi okužba, ki vključuje sproščanje citotoksina, kar lahko povzroči nastajanje značilnih lezij na prizadeti sluznici (mandlji, žrelo, grlo, nos) ali ran.
Obstruction of the airway may follow. 
Pojavijo se lahko težave pri dihanju.
The toxin, once absorbed, reaches other organs and can cause myocarditis, paralytic symptoms and nephritis. 
Toksin po absorpciji doseže druge organe in lahko povzroči miokarditis, simptome paralize in nefritis.
It is preventable by vaccination. 
Preprečuje se s cepljenjem.

Puumala virus occur mainly in Europe and Russia. 
Virus Puumala se pojavlja pretežno v Evropi in Rusiji.
Transmission to humans occurs through inhalation of virus in aerosol from excreta of infected rodents. 
Do prenosa na ljudi pride zaradi vdihavanja virusa v aerosolu iz izločkov okuženih glodalcev.
Clinical illness results in haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (also called “nephropatia epidemica ”) and causes less than 0.5% mortality. 
Klinična bolezen privede do hemoragične mrzlice z ledvičnim sindromom (imenovana tudi „ epidemična nevropatija “ ) in povzroča manj kot 0,5-odstotno smrtnost.
Hantaviruses are rodent-borne viruses causing clinical illness in humans of varying severity. 
Hantavirusi so virusi, ki jih prenašajo glodalci in pri ljudeh povzročajo klinično bolezen, ki je lahko različno resna.
There are several different hantaviruses, with a different geographical distribution and causing different clinical diseases. 
Obstaja več različnih hantavirusov, ki so različno geografsko porazdeljeni in povzročajo različne klinične bolezni.
Each hantavirus is specific to a different rodent host. 
Vsak hantavirus je značilen za določenega gostiteljskega glodalca.
Transmission of the virus to humans occurs through the inhalation of infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. 
Do prenosa virusa na ljudi pride z vdihavanjem okuženega urina, iztrebkov ali sline glodalcev.
Three main clinical syndromes can be distinguished after hantavirus infection: 
Obstajajo trije glavni klinični sindromi, ki se lahko pojavijo po okužbi s hantavirusom:
haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), mainly caused by Seoul, Puumala and Dobrava viruses; nephropathia epidemica, a mild form of HFRS caused by Puumala virus; and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, which may be caused by Andes virus, Sin Nombre virus, and several others. 
hemoragična mrzlica z ledvičnim sindromom, ki jo povzročajo predvsem virusi Seoul, Puumala in Dobrava; nephropathia epidemica, milejša oblika hemoragične mrzlice z ledvičnim sindromom, ki jo povzroča virus Puumala, in hantavirusni srčno-pljučni sindrom, ki ga lahko povzročajo virusi Andes, Sin Nombre in mnogi drugi.
There is no curative treatment for hantavirus infection, and eliminating or minimising contact with rodents is the best way to prevent infection. 
Za okužbe s hantavirusom ni zdravljenja, okužbe pa se najlažje preprečujejo tako, da se v največji možni meri omeji stik z glodalci.
Hepatitis B can be either without symptoms or acute or chronic symptomatic infection. 
Hepatitis B je lahko brez simptomov ali pa se razvije v akutno ali kronično simptomatsko okužbo.
HBV vaccination is currently the most effective way to prevent HBV infection.

The reservoir of Lassa virus are rodents and humans become infected through contact with the excreta of infected rats. 
Rezervoar virusa Lassa so glodalci, ljudje pa se okužijo ob stiku z izločki okuženih podgan.
Early treatment with the antiviral drug ribavirin is effective, and infection is prevented through good hygiene conditions. 
Zgodnje zdravljenje s protivirusnim zdravilom ribavirin je učinkovito, k preprečevanju okužbe pa prispevajo dobri higienski pogoji.
Legionellosis is an uncommon form of pneumonia. 
Legioneloza je neobičajna oblika pljučnice.
The disease has no particular clinical features that clearly distinguish it from other types of pneumonia, and laboratory investigations must be carried out to confirm the diagnosis. 
Bolezen nima posebnih kliničnih značilnosti, po katerih bi se jasno razlikovala od drugih vrst pljučnice, tako da je za potrditev diagnoze potrebno izvesti laboratorijske preiskave.
It normally takes between two to ten days to develop symptoms (typically five to six days) but very rarely some cases may take two to three weeks to develop symptoms. 
Simptomi se običajno razvijejo po dveh do desetih dneh (tipično po petih do šestih), v nekaterih zelo redkih primerih pa celo po dveh do treh tednih.
Patients usually start with a dry cough, fever, headache and sometimes diarrhoea and many people go on to get pneumonia. 
Običajno se pri bolnikih najprej pojavijo suh kašelj, povišana telesna temperatura, glavobol in včasih driska, pri veliko ljudeh pa se to nadaljuje v pljučnico.
People over the age of 50 are more at risk than younger people, and males are more at risk than females. 
Starejši od 50 let so izpostavljeni večjemu tveganju kot mlajši in moški so bolj ogroženi kot ženske.
Effective antibiotic treatment is available if the diagnosis is made early in the illness. 
Na voljo je učinkovito zdravljenje z antibiotiki, vendar le, če je diagnoza postavljena dovolj zgodaj.
Deaths occur in about 5-15% of travellers who get the disease, depending on their age and individual health status. 
Smrt nastopi pri 5– 15 % popotnikov, ki zbolijo, odvisno od njihove starosti in zdravstvenega stanja.
Smokers are more at risk than non-smokers. 
Kadilci so bolj ogroženi kot nekadilci.
People become infected when they breathe in air that contains tiny droplets of water known as aerosols, inside of which are the Legionella bacteria. 
Ljudje se okužijo z vdihavanjem zraka, v katerem so drobne kapljice vode, znane kot aerosoli, v njih pa so bakterije legionele.
If the bacteria get inhaled into the lungs they can cause infection. 
Če bakterijo vdihnemo v pljuča, lahko povzroči okužbo.
Legionellosis cannot be got from water you drink that enters your stomach in the normal way – the bacterium has to get into the lungs through breathing it in. The illness is not spread from person to person. 
Z legionelozo se ni mogoče okužiti s pitjem vode, ki pride v želodec po običajni poti, ampak samo z vdihavanjem bakterije, ki nato pride v pljuča. Bolezen se ne širi s človeka na človeka.

Leishmaniasis is a tropical/sub-tropical disease caused by Leishmania protozoa, which is spread by the bite of infected sandflies. 
Leishmanioza je tropska/subtropska bolezen, ki jo povzroča pražival Leishmania , ki se širi z ugrizi okuženih peščenih muh.
There are several different forms of leishmaniasis in people. 
Pri ljudeh se pojavljajo različne oblike leishmanioze.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis causes skin sores which are often self-healing within a few months, but which may leave ugly scars; it occurs worldwide, including the Mediterranean coast. 
Kožna leishmanioza povzroča kožne izpuščaje, ki se v nekaj mesecih pogosto sami pozdravijo, vendar lahko pustijo grde brazgotine. Pojavlja se povsod po svetu, tudi na sredozemski obali.
Visceral leishmaniasis causes systemic disease, presenting with fever, malaise, weight loss and anaemia, swelling of the spleen, liver and lymph nodes; most of the cases reported worldwide occur in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan. 
Visceralna leishmanioza povzroča sistemsko bolezen, ki se kaže s povišano telesno temperaturo, slabim počutjem, izgubo telesne teže in anemijo ter otekanjem vranice, jeter in bezgavk. Večina primerov, o katerih so poročali, se je pojavila v Bangladešu, Braziliji, Indiji, Nepalu in Sudanu.
No vaccines or drugs to prevent infection are available. 
Za preprečevanje okužbe ni na voljo cepiva ali zdravila.
The best way for travellers to prevent infection is to protect themselves from sandfly bites. 
Popotniki se pred okužbo najlažje zaščitijo tako, da se zaščitijo pred ugrizi peščenih muh.
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira bacteria. 
Leptospiroza je zoonoza, ki jo povzroča bakterija Leptospira.
Humans acquire leptospirosis either from direct contact with the urine of infected animals, or from contact with material contaminated by it, such as water or soil. 
Ljudje se okužijo z leptospirozo bodisi ob neposrednem stiku z urinom okuženih živali bodisi ob stiku s kontaminiranim materialom, npr. vodo ali tlemi.
The clinical presentation is variable. 
Klinična slika je spremenljiva.
Liver, kidney, lung, heart, and more rarely brain involvement and bleeding characterise the most serious clinical presentations. 
Najhujši klinične slike so prizadetost jeter, ledvic, pljuč, srca in redkeje možganov ter krvavitve.
