Public health response to an imported case of canine melioidosis
We describe a multijurisdictional public health response to a case of subclinical urinary B. pseudomallei infection in a dog that had been adopted into upstate New York from a shelter in Thailand. Investigation disclosed three human contacts with single, low‐risk exposures to the dog's urine at his residence, and 16 human contacts with possible exposure to his urine or culture isolates at a veterinary hospital. Contacts were offered various combinations of symptom/fever monitoring, baseline and repeat B. pseudomallei serologic testing, and antibiotic post‐exposure prophylaxis, depending on the nature of their exposur...

Hepatitis E virus infection of slaughtered healthy pigs in Brazil
Summary
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging pathogen that can be transmitted through contaminated raw or undercooked meat derived from domestic pigs. HEV infections have been documented among pig herds, pig products and environmental samples raising concern about the spread of the virus. HEV genotypes 3 and 4 are considered zoonotic and have been linked to human cases. HEV was detected in 51 of 335 bile samples (15.2%) from healthy pigs in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis of partial sequences from ORF1 and ORF2 regions yielded discordant results, assigning isolates to subtypes 3c and 3i, respectively, suggest...

Rabies risk and use of post ‐exposure prophylaxis associated with dog bites in Tennessee
This study examined the risk of rabies in biting dogs and the use of rabies post‐exposure prophylaxis (rPEP) for dog bite victims in Tennessee. The study included a retrospective analysis of laboratory testing requisitions for dogs from 2002 to 2016, collection of clinical data on confirmed rabies‐positive dogs from 2008 to 2016 and analysis of hospital discharge data for rPEP from 2007 to 2014. Among dogs submitted for rabies testing, those having a recent history of biting were significantly less likely to test positive for rabies than dogs with no reported bite (OR = 0.01; 95% CI [0.003–0.04]). The most common c...
