Epidemiology of Coronavirus Disease 2019 at a County Jail-Alameda County, California, March 2020-March 2021.

CONTEXT: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) incidence rates are 2- to 5-fold higher among persons incarcerated in the United States than in the general population. PROGRAM OR POLICY: We describe an outbreak investigation of COVID-19 at a jail (jail A) in Alameda County during March 2020-March 2021. IMPLEMENTATION: To prevent COVID-19 cases among incarcerated persons and employees, staff at jail A and the county public health department worked to develop and recommend infection control measures implemented by jail A including, but not limited to, face covering use among incarcerated persons

Endogenous social distancing and its underappreciated impact on the epidemic curve.

Social distancing is an effective strategy to mitigate the impact of infectious diseases. If sick or healthy, or both, predominantly socially distance, the epidemic curve flattens. Contact reductions may occur for different reasons during a pandemic including health-related mobility loss (severity of symptoms), duty of care for a member of a high-risk group, and forced quarantine. Other decisions to reduce contacts are of a more voluntary nature. In particular, sick people reduce contacts consciously to avoid infecting others, and healthy individuals reduce contacts in order to stay healthy. W…

Risk assessment of the introduction of Rift Valley fever from the Horn of Africa to Yemen via legal trade of small ruminants.

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral zoonosis of increasing global importance. Occurring since 1930 across Africa, it was detec … o reduce the risk are proposed and discussed, including possible improvements of the current Yemeni quarantine system.

Systematic control of dermatophytosis profunda of cattle in the former GDR.

Human occupational diseases orginated from Trichophyton verrucosum infection of cattle belonged to the most frequent zooanthroponoses since 1960. Morbidity peaks of this human dermatophytosis could be observed in 1970 and 1971 with about 740 cases of occupational diseases per year. The ecological properties of Tr. verrucosum (compulsory monoxenic parasite), the pathogenetic development of bovine dermatophytosis (rising immunity with subsequent elimination of the agent), systematic medical therapy and prophylaxis with griseofulvin and other drugs as well as the application of Tr. verrucosum liv

A successful response to the second wave of COVID-19 in the slums of Delhi.

The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to India's slum communities. Although more COVID-related deaths occurred in slum neighbourhoods, the 91 slum communities served by the non-profit Asha Society India experienced only one death case during this period. Key factors contributing to this outcome included the mobilisation of educational, quarantine, and preventive measures, as well as an emergency protocol that was used for early proactive identification and treatment of patients presenting with fever and cough before experiencing shortness of breath indicat…

Coronavirus lockdown helped the environment to bounce back.

As the transmission of novel corona virus (COVID-19) increases rapidly, the whole world adopted the curfew/lockdown activity with restriction of human mobility. The imposition of quarantine stopped all the commercial activity that greatly affects the various important environmental parameters which directly connected to human health. As all the types of social, economic, industrial and urbanization activity suddenly shut off, nature takes the advantages and showed improvement in the quality of air, cleaner rivers, less noise pollution, undisturbed and calm wildlife. This research aims to discu…

Fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic - should we prepare for a tsunami of post viral depression?

The current COVID-19 pandemic is not just a medical and social tragedy, but within the threat of the outbreak looms the potential for a sign … f viral agents. While containment of psychological distress currently focuses on social anxiety and quarantine measures, a second wave of psychological morbidity due to viral illness may be imminent.

Global dynamics and optimal control of a cholera transmission model with vaccination strategy and multiple pathways.

In this paper, we consider a cholera infection model with vaccination and multiple transmission pathways. Dynamical properties of the model … tbreak in Somalia. We consider an optimal control problem of cholera transmission with vaccination, quarantine, treatment and sanitation control strategies, and use Pontryagin's minimum principle to determine the optimal control level. The optimal control problem is solved numerically.

Strategies to maintain Korea's animal rabies non-occurrence status.

Endemic animal rabies causes >99% of all human rabies cases; elimination of animal rabies reduces the rate of human infections. The most rec … nce, preventing the flow of rabies-suspect animals from neighboring countries, and enhancing border quarantine. As has already been shown in several developed countries, careful and ongoing rabies control will allow Korea to remain animal rabies-free.

Оспа.

Оспа является весьма инфекционным заболеванием, которое в 1980 году было объявлено искорененным Всемирной организацией здравоохранения в результате успешных кампаний вакцинации. Из-за своего весьма инфекционного характера и исторического 30-процентного коэффициента смертности это заболевание, возможно, стало биологическим оружием. Вирус Variola, вызывающий оспу, легко передается от человека к человеку в период инкубации, прежде чем у инфицированных людей появятся признаки болезни. Когда жертва развивает характерный сыпь и вирусный синдром, связанный с оспой, болезнь требует сложной изоляции и,

Preventive medicine in Croatia through time and space.

The Croatian preventive medicine was well-known in the world through history. It was famous from the time of the quarantine in Dubrovnik, through sanitary cordon and contribution in obligatory first immunization against smallpox. Croatia presented Andrija Stampar as the leader in preventive medicine from the World War I till the sixties. We owe him all kinds of public health work both in organization and education as well as the initiating the World Health Organization. Knowledge and capabilities of Croatian preventive medicine workers were demonstrated the most clearly during the Croatian hom…

Vector introduction and malaria infection on Guam.

The Mariana Islands lie well within the vast "malaria-free" region of the central and south Pacific Ocean. However, Anopheles indefinitus was discovered on Guam in 1948, and an additional four species of Anopheles were collected on the island during 1970-75. Early malaria cases on Guam were diagnosed as relapsing infections with the disease having been contracted in other areas. Small outbreaks of malaria were recorded on Guam in 1966 and 1969, and autochthonous cases were indicated in both. Since vector capability for malaria does exist on Guam, quarantine procedures at the air and seaports c…
