During 2015 to 2016, Brazil reported more Zika virus (ZIKV) cases than any other country, yet population exposure remains unknown. Serological studies of ZIKV are hampered by cross-reactive immune responses against heterologous viruses. We conducted serosurveys for ZIKV, dengue (DENV), and Chikungunya (CHIKV) in 633 individuals prospectively sampled during including microcephaly non-microcephaly pregnancies, HIV-infected patients, tuberculosis university staff Salvador northeastern using...
The PubMed and ScienceDirect bibliographic databases were searched for the period of 1998-2009 to evaluate impact climatic environmental determinants on food- waterborne diseases. authors assessed 1,642 short concise sentences (key facts), which extracted from 722 relevant articles stored in a climate change knowledge base. Key facts pertaining temperature, precipitation, water, food 6 selected pathogens scrutinized, evaluated, compiled according exposure pathways. These key (corresponding...
Campylobacteriosis is a major public health concern. The weather factors that influence spatial and seasonal distributions are not fully understood. To investigate the impacts of temperature rainfall on Campylobacter infections in England Wales, cases were linked to local at laboratory postcodes 30 days before specimen date. Methods for investigation included comparative conditional incidence, wavelet, clustering, time series analyses. increase late spring was significantly two weeks before,...
The authors extracted from the PubMed and ScienceDirect bibliographic databases all articles published between 1998 2009 that were relevant to climate change food- waterborne diseases. Any material within each article provided information about a pathogen its relationship with was summarized as key fact, entered into relational knowledge base, tagged terminology (predefined terms) used in field. These terms organized, quantified, mapped according predefined hierarchical categories. For...
Campylobacteriosis is the leading bacterial cause of human diarrheal illness worldwide. incidence exhibits seasonality and has been attributed to ambient temperature. However, role temperature on campylobacteriosis remains poorly understood. To examine impact local in Germany, weekly incidences NUTS-3 level were analysed using a novel small-scaled approach, regression time lags. correlated positively with temperatures between - 5 28 °C. The sigmoid model estimated an increase 0.52 per °C...
Secondary transports of patients from one hospital to another are indicated for medical reasons or address local constraints in capacity. In particular, interhospital critically ill infectious present a logistical challenge and can be key the effective management pandemic situations. The state Saxony Germany has two characteristics that allow an extensive evaluation secondary year 2020/2021. First, all centrally coordinated by single institution. Second, had highest SARS-CoV-2 infection...
This study examines quality and variability of FS collected in Yaounde City. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) principal component (PCA) were applied for the description data obtained context (Cameroon). Almost 13 parameters appreciation characteristics (temperature, pH, electric conductivity, salinity, COD, BOD5, NH4+, TKN, TS, TVS, TSS, water content total helminth eggs) measured 53 different samples originated from various on-sanitation systems found around town represented by septic...
Nosocomial outbreaks require quick epidemiological clarification of possible chains infection, since the pathogen usually has a head start that to be caught up. Identification people and areas at risk is crucial for efficient confinement. This paper describes concept which can applied healthcare settings. The application skips time-consuming imperfect reconstruction direct indirect contacts. Indoor mobility devices are instead measured precisely, history used construct spatio-temporal...
