On May 17, 2022, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Laboratory Response Network (LRN) laboratory confirmed presence orthopoxvirus DNA via real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from lesion swabs obtained a resident. Orthopoxviruses include Monkeypox virus, causative agent monkeypox. Subsequent PCR testing at CDC on 18 that patient was infected with West African clade virus. Since then, cases* have been reported by nine states. In addition, 28 countries and territories,†...
High prevalences of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been reported in the current global monkeypox outbreak, which has affected primarily gay, bisexual, men who sex with (MSM) (1-5). In previous outbreaks Nigeria, concurrent infection was associated poor clinical outcomes (6,7). Monkeypox, HIV, STI surveillance data from eight U.S. jurisdictions* were matched analyzed to examine diagnoses among persons assess differences features according status. Among 1,969 during...
Importance As self-collected home antigen tests become widely available, a better understanding of their performance during the course SARS-CoV-2 infection is needed. Objective To evaluate diagnostic compared with reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and viral culture by days from illness onset, as well user acceptability. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective cohort study was conducted January to May 2021 in San Diego County, California, metropolitan Denver,...
In Spring 2021, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) B.1.1.7 (Alpha) became the predominant variant in United States. Research suggests that Alpha has increased transmissibility compared with non-Alpha lineages. We estimated household secondary infection risk (SIR), assessed characteristics associated transmission, and symptoms of persons infections.We followed households SARS-CoV-2 for weeks San Diego County metropolitan Denver, January to April 2021. collected...
The spread of Aedes aegypti in California and other regions the U.S. has increased need to understand potential for local chains Ae. aegypti-borne virus transmission, particularly arid where ecology these mosquitoes is less understood. For public health vector control programs, it helpful know whether variation risk transmission can be attributed socio-demographic factors that could help target surveillance programs. Socio-demographic have been shown influence dengue outside by modifying...
While risk of fomite transmission SARS-CoV-2 is considered low, there limited environmental data within households. This January-April 2021 investigation describes frequency and types surfaces positive for by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) among residences with ≥1 infection, associations household characteristics surface RT-PCR viable virus positivity. Of 1232 samples from 124 households, 27.8% (n = 342) were nightstands (44.1%) pillows (40.9%) most...
To assess the household secondary infection risk (SIR) of B.1.1.7 (Alpha) and non-Alpha lineages severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among children.During January to April 2021, we prospectively followed households with a SARS-CoV-2 infection. We collected questionnaires, serial nasopharyngeal swabs for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction testing whole genome sequencing, blood samples serology testing. calculated SIRs by primary case age (pediatric vs...
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley fever, is caused by inhalation of spores the soil-dwelling fungi Coccidioides spp.Although most illness mild, coccidioidomycosis can cause severe disease resulting in hospitalization or death.On July 28, 2021, California Department Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) notified Public Health (CDPH) seven wildland firefighters from two crews who had respiratory illness.Crew A (19 members) crew B (21 worked on wildfires late June 2021 near Tehachapi...
Abstract Background Wastewater represents a composite biological sample from the entire contributing population. People infected with monkeypox virus (MPXV) 1 may excrete viral DNA into wastewater via multiple ways such as in feces, urine, skin lesions, and/or saliva. We describe results rapid establishment of surveillance selected regions California within month first reported case United States. Methods PCR assays targeting genomic MPXV were deployed an ongoing program California....
Abstract Vector-borne diseases are among the most burdensome infectious worldwide with high burden to health systems in developing regions tropics. For many of these diseases, vector control reduce human biting rates or arthropod populations remains primary strategy for prevention. New interventions intended be marketed through public channels must assessed by World Health Organization value using data generated from large-scale trials integrating epidemiological endpoints impact. Such phase...
Abstract Background In December 2020, B.1.1.7 lineage of SARS-CoV-2 was first detected in the United States and has since become dominant lineage. Previous investigations involving suggested higher rates transmission relative to non-B.1.1.7 lineages. We conducted a household investigation determine secondary infection (SIR) Methods From January–April 2021, we enrolled members households San Diego County, CA, Denver, CO metropolitan area (Tri-County), with confirmed member illness onset date...
