Infectious diseases mostly occur in warm seasons Up to 95 percent of the infectious diseases that occur in Russia are diseases of the acute respiratory viral infection group. One of the most common is the flu. The Moscow Virology Institute attempts to predict flu epidemics every year. If a flu epidemic occurs, it is impossible to foretell its character. However, people can protect themselves from other infections, the majority of which occur during a warm season. Infections can be divided into two groups: There are vaccines to use for prophylaxis: diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, German measles, poliomyelitis. There are no vaccines to use for prophylaxis:

Scientists have built a new sensor that can detect the potentially deadly E.coli bacteria in 15-20 minutes, much faster than traditional lab tests. E.coli can be transmitted in contaminated food and water, posing particular risks to children and the elderly. In the late spring of 2011 a serious outbreak of E.coli bacteria sickened thousands of people in Germany and killed more than 50.

In cystic fibrosis (CF), Pseudomonas aeruginosa acquisition represents a turning point in disease progression. The presence of chronic P. aeruginosa infection is associated with worsening lung function and increased risk of earlier death, whereas treatment substantially improves lung function and survival [1, 2]. Efforts to diagnose and eradicate early P. aeruginosa provide lasting benefits for children with CF [3, 4]. However, the timing of infection varies considerably between individuals with CF, treatment centres [5, 6], and different birth cohorts of people with the disease [7, 8].
