The aim of the study was to investigate the basal cell carcinoma (BCC) incidence in Croatia in the 2003-2005 period. Data were collected from University Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Zagreb University Hospital Center and National Cancer Registry. The age-specific incidence rate and age-standardized incidence rate were calculated per 100,000 inhabitants according to the latest popul...

Croatian fauna consists of 50 mosquito species, and 15 of them have medical importance. Only 10 species are capable of transmitting the West Nile Virus (WNV). In Croatia the most capable vector is Culex pipiens c. According to species distribution and abundance all of Croatia is a risk area for WNV transmission. Culex pipiens c. is the dominant species (share of 5-10%) in eastern Croatia, but C...

The main hypothesis of the paper states that banking loans to private individuals growth rate correlates with the personal consumption growth rate in Croatia. Following the Engle-Granger cointegration and Johansen cointegration approaches on yearly data samples from 1996 to 2012, we found banking loan to private individuals annual growth rate and personal consumption annual growth rate in Croat...

Even today, leprosy is a relatively frequently occurring disease, especially in tropical regions of the world. From the eleventh to thirteenth century, leprosy pandemics affected Europe, including Croatia. Probably as a consequence of such history, one can still find endemic foci of leprosy in present-day Croatia. The aim of this study was to analyse all cases of leprosy registered in Croatia d...

The last comprehensive publication on tuberculosis in Croatia and the earliest impact of war, besides the yearly routine reports, was done in 1996 in Croatian. We were, therefore, interested to explore incidence trends and to highlight the early post-war tuberculosis epidemiological patterns in the next ten years period (1996-2005). A retrospective analysis of epidemiological data on all regist...
