Salmonella Newport causes more than an estimated 100,000 infections annually in the United States. In 2002, tomatoes grown and packed on eastern shore of Virginia contaminated with a pan-susceptible S. strain caused illness 510 patients 26 states. July-November 2005, same at least 72 16 We conducted case-control study during 2005 outbreak, enrolling 29 cases 140 matched neighbourhood controls. Infection was associated eating (matched odds ratio 9.7, 95% confidence interval 3.3-34.9)....
Foodborne diseases represent a substantial public health concern in the United States. CDC's Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) monitors cases reported from 10 U.S. sites* of laboratory-diagnosed infections caused by nine enteric pathogens commonly transmitted through food. This report describes preliminary surveillance data for 2016 on and changes incidences compared with 2013-2015. In 2016, FoodNet identified 24,029 infections, 5,512 hospitalizations, 98 deaths these pathogens....
The US Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) gives food safety regulators increased authority to require implementation of measures reduce the contamination produce. To evaluate future impact FSMA on safety, a better understanding is needed regarding outbreaks attributed consumption raw Data reported Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Foodborne Outbreak Surveillance System during 1998-2013 were analysed. During 1998-2013, there 972 produce resulting in 34 674 outbreak-associated...
Typhoid fever in the United States has increasingly been due to infection with antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella ser Typhi. National surveillance for typhoid can inform prevention and treatment recommendations.To assess trends infections S. Typhi.Cross-sectional, laboratory-based study.We reviewed data from 1999-2006 1902 persons who had epidemiologic information submitted Centers Disease Control Prevention (CDC) 2016 Typhi isolates sent by participating public health laboratories...
The implementation of treated municipal water systems in the 20th century led to a dramatic decrease waterborne disease United States. However, communities with deficient still experience outbreaks. In August 2004, we investigated an outbreak gastroenteritis on South Bass Island, Ohio, island 900 residents that is visited by >500,000 persons each year.To identify source illness, conducted case-control study and environmental investigation. A case was defined as diarrhea person who traveled...
BackgroundRapid declines in malaria prevalence, cases, and deaths have been achieved globally during the past 15 years because of improved access to first-line treatment vector control. We aimed assess intervention coverage needed achieve further gains over next years.MethodsWe used a mathematical model transmission Plasmodium falciparum explore potential effect on case incidence mortality rates from 2015 2030 five different scenarios: remaining at levels 2011–13 (Sustain), for which...
To control malaria, the Rwandan government and its partners distributed insecticide-treated nets (ITN) made artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) widely available from 2005 onwards. The impact of these interventions on malaria cases, admissions deaths was assessed using data district hospitals household surveys.District records ITN ACT distribution were reviewed. Malaria non-malaria indictors in 30 ascertained surveillance records. Trends for 2000 to 2010 by segmented log-linear...

In April 2009, an outbreak due to infection with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus (pH1N1) was investigated in a New York City high school. We surveyed household contacts of ill students characterize extent transmission within households, identify contact groups at highest risk for illness, and assess potential preventing transmission. Influenza-like illness (ILI) reported by 79 702 (11.3% attack rate). Multivariate analysis showed that older age protective: each increasing year...
In late April 2009, the first documented 2009 pandemic influenza A (pH1N1) virus infection outbreak in a university setting occurred Delaware, with large numbers of students presenting respiratory illness. At time this investigation, little was known about severity illness, effectiveness vaccine, or transmission factors pH1N1 infection. We characterized determined impact outbreak, and examined associated transmission.Health clinic records were reviewed. An online survey administered to all...
Background. Salmonella serotype Tennessee is a rare cause of the estimated 1 million cases salmonellosis occurring annually in United States. In January 2007, we began investigating nationwide increase infections. Methods. We defined case as infection patient whose isolate demonstrated 3 closely related pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns and illness during period August 2006 through 31 July 2007. conducted case-control study 22 states performed laboratory testing foods environmental...
Background. Infection due to Salmonella species causes an estimated 1.4 million illnesses and 400 deaths annually in the United States. Orange juice is a known vehicle of salmonellosis, for which regulatory controls have recently been implemented. We investigated nationwide outbreak infection determine magnitude identify risk factors infection.
Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the most effective treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection. A commonly used indicator monitoring and assessing progress in coverage of is proportion children younger than 5 years with reported fever previous 14 days who have received an ACT. We propose improved that incorporates parasite infection status (as assessed by a rapid diagnostic test [RDT]), which available recent household surveys. In this study we...
Abstract Background Three months after the first reported cases, COVID-19 had spread to nearly 90% of World Health Organization (WHO) member states and only 24 countries not cases as 30 March 2020. This analysis aimed 1) assess characteristics, capability detect monitor COVID-19, disease control measures in these countries, 2) understand potential factors for delayed introduction, 3) identify gaps opportunities outbreak preparedness, particularly low middle-income (LMICs). We collected...
Background. Norovirus is often transmitted by infected food handlers at the point of service, whereas reports contamination before wholesale distribution are rare. In September 2005, we investigated gastroenteritis among rafters who went on unrelated trips Colorado River. Methods. We surveyed all companies that launched rafting during period from 14 August through 19 2005 to identify in which ⩾3 became ill. conducted a case-control study. Case patients were persons experienced diarrhea or...
Despite the availability of effective preventive measures, including intermittent treatment for malaria during pregnancy (IPTp), continues to cause substantial disease burden among pregnant women in malaria-endemic areas. IPTp coverage remains low, despite high antenatal care (ANC) attendance. To highlight areas potential improvement, trends were assessed over time, missed opportunities deliver at ANC quantified, and delivery was compared that tetanus toxoid (TT).Data from 58 Demographic...
Concerted efforts from national and international partners have scaled up malaria control interventions, including insecticide-treated nets, indoor residual spraying, diagnostics, prompt effective treatment of cases, intermittent preventive during pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This scale-up warrants an assessment its health impact to guide future investments; however, measuring malaria-specific mortality the overall interventions remains challenging. In 2007, Roll Back Malaria's...
Multiple salmonellosis outbreaks have been linked to contaminated tomatoes. We investigated a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections among 190 cases. For hypothesis generation, review patients' food histories from four restaurant-associated clusters in states revealed that large tomatoes were the only common consumed by patients. Two case-control studies conducted identify exposures associated with infections. In study nine illness was significantly eating raw, large, round...
We investigated the first documented university outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) to identify factors associated with disease transmission. An online student survey was administered assess risk for influenza-like illness (ILI), defined as fever cough or sore throat. Of 6049 respondents, 567 (9%) experienced ILI during 27 March 9 May 2009. Studying an ill contact (adjusted ratios [aRR], 1.29; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.01-1.65) and caring (aRR, 1.51; CI, 1.14-2.01) any time...
