Spatial and phylogenetic patterns reveal hidden infection sources of Bacillus anthracis in an anthrax outbreak in son La province, Vietnam
Infect Genet Evol. 2023 Sep 5:105496. doi: 10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105496. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBacillus anthracis, the bacterial cause of anthrax, is a zoonosis affecting livestock and wildlife often spilling over into humans. In Vietnam, anthrax has been nationally reportable since 2015 with cases occurring annually, mostly in the northern provinces. In April 2022, an outbreak was reported in Son La province following the butchering of a water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis. A total of 137 humans from three villages were likely exposed to contaminated meat from the animal. Early epidemiological investigations suggested ...

COVID-19: An Overview of SARS-CoV-2 Variants-The Current Vaccines and Drug Development
Biomed Res Int. 2023 Aug 29;2023:1879554. doi: 10.1155/2023/1879554. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe world is presently in crisis facing an outbreak of a health-threatening microorganism known as COVID-19, responsible for causing uncommon viral pneumonia in humans. The virus was first reported in Wuhan, China, in early December 2019, and it quickly became a global concern due to the pandemic. Challenges in this regard have been compounded by the emergence of several variants such as B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P1, and B.1.617, which show an increase in transmission power and resistance to therapies and vaccines. Ongoing researches are ...

Field Epidemiology: Fit for the future
Euro Surveill. 2023 Sep;28(36):2300347. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.36.2300347.ABSTRACTIn recent years, field epidemiologists have embraced rapidly evolving digital tools, data sources and technologies, and collaborated with an ever-growing field of scientific specialisms. The COVID-19 pandemic put field epidemiology under unprecedented demand and scrutiny. As the COVID-19 emergency recedes, it is timely to reflect on the core values of our profession and the unique challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. In November 2022, alumni of the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) and the Eu...

Temporal Changes in Energy-Balance Behaviors and Home Factors in Adolescents with Normal Weight and Those with Overweight or Obesity
This study aimed to examine the temporal changes in energy-balance behaviors and home factors in adolescents with normal weight and those with overweight or obesity (OWOB). Adolescents or parent proxies completed survey assessments two to four years before (T0; n=82), ≤ six months before (T1; n=68), and ≤ three months after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak (T2; n=82), to capture energy-balance behaviors (i.e., physical activity [PA], screen time, sleep) and home factors (i.e., food environment, food worry, parent support for PA). At T0 and T1 (before pandemic), participants visited our laboratory for anthropometric measu...

Spatio-temporal distribution & amp; seasonality of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 & amp; H5N8 outbreaks in India, 2006-2021
CONCLUSIONS: Such studies on the seasonality of HPAI outbreaks would help in the development of prevention and control strategies. The recent human infections of H5N1 and H9N2 viruses highlight the need to strengthen surveillance in wild, resident, migratory birds and in poultry along with One Health studies in India.PMID:37675691 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_2002_22

Listening and learning: a qualitative study of Scottish care home staff experiences of managing COVID-19 between March 2020-August 2022
CONCLUSIONS: The lived experiences of care home staff during the COVID-19 pandemic provide valuable insights applicable beyond the pandemic context. This includes: recognition of the specialism, complexity and diversity of care home practice; the value afforded by embedding genuine representation and involvement in planning, policy-making and research; the need for individualising to people in their contexts and the value of fostering respectful relationships across professional groups to support residents.PMID:37679720 | PMC:PMC10485989 | DOI:10.1186/s12877-023-04251-z

As of August 4, 2023, case surveillance, mosquito surveillance and control activities, and public outreach and education activities continue in both states. U.S. clinicians need to consider a malaria diagnosis in patients with unexplained fever, especially in areas where auto...
