Field Epidemiology: Fit for the future
Euro Surveill. 2023 Sep;28(36):2300347. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.36.2300347.ABSTRACTIn recent years, field epidemiologists have embraced rapidly evolving digital tools, data sources and technologies, and collaborated with an ever-growing field of scientific specialisms. The COVID-19 pandemic put field epidemiology under unprecedented demand and scrutiny. As the COVID-19 emergency recedes, it is timely to reflect on the core values of our profession and the unique challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. In November 2022, alumni of the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) and the Eu...

Spatio-temporal distribution & amp; seasonality of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 & amp; H5N8 outbreaks in India, 2006-2021
CONCLUSIONS: Such studies on the seasonality of HPAI outbreaks would help in the development of prevention and control strategies. The recent human infections of H5N1 and H9N2 viruses highlight the need to strengthen surveillance in wild, resident, migratory birds and in poultry along with One Health studies in India.PMID:37675691 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_2002_22

Outbreak of Locally Acquired Mosquito-Transmitted (Autochthonous) Malaria - Florida and Texas, May-July 2023
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Sep 8;72(36):973-978. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7236a1.ABSTRACTEight cases of locally acquired, mosquito-transmitted (i.e., autochthonous) Plasmodium vivax malaria, which has not been reported in the United States since 2003, were reported to CDC from state health departments in Florida and Texas during May 18-July 17, 2023. As of August 4, 2023, case surveillance, mosquito surveillance and control activities, and public outreach and education activities continue in both states. U.S. clinicians need to consider a malaria diagnosis in patients with unexplained fever, especially in areas where auto...

Spatial and phylogenetic patterns reveal hidden infection sources of Bacillus anthracis in an anthrax outbreak in son La province, Vietnam
Infect Genet Evol. 2023 Sep 5:105496. doi: 10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105496. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBacillus anthracis, the bacterial cause of anthrax, is a zoonosis affecting livestock and wildlife often spilling over into humans. In Vietnam, anthrax has been nationally reportable since 2015 with cases occurring annually, mostly in the northern provinces. In April 2022, an outbreak was reported in Son La province following the butchering of a water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis. A total of 137 humans from three villages were likely exposed to contaminated meat from the animal. Early epidemiological investigations suggested ...

Independent risk factors for COVID-19-associated coagulopathy
CONCLUSIONS: Not receiving LMWH, high levels of D-dimer, initial LDH, and initial ferritin are independent risk factors for CAC. DIC does not appear to develop based on COVID-19.PMID:37667962 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202308_33440

Which qualities should built environment possess to ensure satisfaction of higher-education students with remote education during pandemics?
This study examines the perceptions and experiences of many aspects of online education from the viewpoint of Chinese HEIs and university students who shifted to online modes of instruction during the COVID-19 outbreak. This research aimed to determine whether or not college students were happy with the resources available to them, how their teachers communicated with them, how they were evaluated, and the conditions in which they studied at home. It also looked at the pros and cons of online learning from the students' points of view. For this study, researchers opted for a cross-sectional survey using an online questionn...

Layered Screening and Contact-Limiting Interventions Are Necessary to Reduce SARS-Cov-2 Outbreak Risks in Large Urban Jails
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Sep 5:tpmd220716. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0716. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHighly transmissible infections with short serial intervals, such as SARS-Cov-2 and influenza, can quickly overwhelm healthcare resources in institutional settings such as jails. We assessed the impact of intake screening measures on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in this setting. We identified which elements of the intake process created the largest reductions in caseload. We implemented an individual-based simulation representative of SARS-Cov-2 transmission in a large urban jail utilizing testing at entry, quarantine, a...
