The authors found no evidence linking rising bathing water temperatures to increased NTVC infections in Austria over the past two decades, despite observed increases in other global regions.
A central finding is the lack of evidence correlating a two-decade rise in bathing water temperatures with an increase in NTVC infections in Austria, contrasting with reports from other regions like the USA and Baltic Sea. A notable exception was the summer of 2015, which saw a cluster of severe cases linked to ponds in Lower Austria.
