... Once more, humidity appears to have conflicting effects on the spread of mosquito-borne diseases [39]. The increased relative humidity was associated with and increased survival rate of Aedes albopictus, but not Culex sp. in separate reports [31,40]. However, observed biting rates consistently relate to drier conditions [41,42]. ...

... • the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology proposed a special issue titled Mathematic and Covid 19 in which they analyzed in a general way the various aspects of COVID-19, from the forecasting of its evolution [1][2][3], to the strategy of vaccinations [4][5][6][7] and the effectiveness of different control strategies [8][9][10][11][12]. • the Journal of Theoretical Biology proposed a special issue titled Modelling COVID-19 and Preparedness for Future Pandemics specially focused on the different modeling techniques to better understand which is the best model to be used for each question and how good a model can be for disease prediction [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], better understand the cyclic phenomena shown in this pandemic [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], explore the roles of different virus strains and how to rapidly detect them [30][31][32][33][34], and relate social problems with the pandemic [35][36][37][38]. • even less specialized journals decided to devote particular attention to COVID-19, as the Journal of Mathematics in Industry that proposed the special issue Mathematical models of the spread and consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. ...

... especially for people ≥ 70 years: 56.82% vs. 95.00%). Correspondingly, the case fatality ratio in Hong Kong SAR, China was higher than in Singapore (0.53% vs. 0.06%), especially for people ≥ 70 years (4.46% vs. 0.48%) [23]. As of 4 May 2022, only 25 out of 503 COVID-19 related deaths had received at least one dose of vaccine in Shanghai [5]. ...

... For example, nasopharyngeal temperature was around 33.2 C when ambient temperature was 25 C. 9 Many studies have uncovered the effects of ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH) or absolute humidity (AH) on various diseases, especially those of the circulatory or respiratory system or related to viruses. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] These effects are usually nonlinear, typically "J" shaped or "U" shaped. Given the fact that NPC originates in the respiratory tract and is related to the virus, there might be a relationship between meteorological factors and the risk of NPC, which has not been studied before. ...

... The 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic witnessed extensive modeling to assess vaccination effectiveness and establish influenza surveillance systems (21)(22)(23)(24). The COVID-19 pandemic prompted accelerated development in theoretical epidemiology, with various models predicting trends, simulating transmission, and evaluating control measures to inform government decision-making (3)(4)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). Subsequently, theoretical epidemiology has focused on refining models and addressing previous limitations, such as real-time database optimization and dynamic modeling to monitor disease progress (31)(32). ...
