Concern about rise in UK Lyme disease cases
"Surging numbers of people are being diagnosed with Lyme disease as cases spread from rural areas to the suburbs," the Daily Mail reports. The ongoing rise in Lyme disease cases in the UK – thought to be driven by climate change, leading to warmer winters – has been known by public health officials for some time. Reported cases in England and Wales rose from 268 in 2001 to 959 in 2011, but the true figure is thought be much higher. Current estimates put the actual figure at around 3,000 cases a year in England and Wales.It may also be the case that the disease is, as the Mail puts it, "moving into t...

Filovirus Medical Countermeasures (MCM) Workshop
U.S. Department of Defense, Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense. 10/23/2015This resource provides information, presentation slides, and transcripts from a workshop on filovirus medical countermeasures held on October 20-23, 2015. It featured a discussion about how to bridge nonclinical data to the human data, analysis of vaccine endpoints to support establishing a correlate of protection, and information about gaining a better understanding of the difference between the in vitro and in vivo models to test therapeutics. Other topics included vaccines, the Ebola outbreak, and FANG (Filovirus An...

'Painless' flu vaccine skin patch shows promise
Conclusion
Further testing in larger trials needs to be done to be sure these initial results hold true and that the vaccine patch is safe and effective. This is the first time these flu microneedle patches have been tested on humans, and the study was relatively small, with only 100 participants.
But if the results are confirmed, this new method of delivering the flu vaccination could make a big difference. The patches could have several main advantages over traditional injections:
they may be preferred by people who dislike needles and avoid vaccination because of the fear of pain
it may be quicker and easier to admi...

Leptospirosis in three workers on a dairy farm with unvaccinated cattle.
CONCLUSION: The utility of PCR testing for Leptospira DNA as both an early and rapid test for leptospirosis was demonstrated. Two of three cases reported persistence of symptoms at least six months after the acute episode and one of these remains unable to work. Risk mitigation measures such as post-exposure prophylaxis, animal vaccination, heightened clinical suspicion of leptospirosis and recognition of context specific risk factors (eg, effluent spreading) demonstrate the value of medical and veterinary experts working together.

Understanding the virulence of Streptococcus suis: A veterinary, medical, and economic challenge.
Authors: Haas B, Grenier D
Abstract
Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen worldwide and causes considerable economic losses in the swine industry. S. suis is also an emerging zoonotic agent, mainly in Asia. In pigs and humans, S. suis can cause septicemia, pneumonia, endocarditis, arthritis, and meningitis with irreversible sequelae. Identification and characterization of the virulence factors produced by S. suis are major advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of S. suis infections and has therefore opened promising avenues for vaccine development against this pathogen. This literature review ...

Hepatitis E virus infection: An old virus with a new story!
Ekta Gupta, Pragya AgarwalaIndian Journal of Medical Microbiology 2018 36(3):317-323Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is an important public health problem. HEV infection has been identified as a major cause of enterically transmitted acute sporadic hepatitis in India especially in adult age group. India is hyperendemic for HEV, with the disease presenting both as outbreaks and as cases of acute sporadic viral hepatitis. Most of these outbreaks can be traced to contamination of drinking water supplies with human fecal matter. The last decade has witnessed tremendous change in our understanding of the virus in its epidemiol...

Vaccine vectors: the bright side of cytomegalovirus
AbstractCytomegaloviruses (CMVs) present singular features that are particularly advantageous for human vaccine development, a current medical need. Vaccines that induce neutralizing antibodies are among the most successful and efficacious available. However, chronic and persistent human infections, pathogens with high variability of exposed proteins, as well as tumors, highlight the need for developing novel vaccines inducing strong and long-lasting cellular immune responses mediated by effector or effector memory CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes. CMVs induce the most potent CD8+ T lymphocyte response to a pathogen known in e...

Cutting UK overseas aid could harm the fight against future pandemics | Matthew Baylis and Fiona Tomley
In our age of emerging pathogens, funding for global research into zoonotic diseases such as Covid-19, Ebola and Sars is vitalCoronavirus – latest updatesSee all our coronavirus coverageThis year, we ’ve seen how a previously unknown animal virus can spill over into the human population in one country, pass rapidly between people, and spread across the world in days. With nearly1.5m reported deaths from Covid-19, the virus is a startling indication of how the health of the world ’s human population is inseparable from animals and the environment that we share with them.Treating health in a way that recognises these i...
