Abstract:
... The development of a biosensing platform with high sensitivity, high specificity, and low cost for the detection of biomarkers, especially one that is programmable and universal, is critical for disease surveillance and diagnosis, yet it remains a difficulty. Herein, we combined the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system with a fluorescent label-free biosenso ...

Abstract:
... Having an effective surveillance system is imperative to take timely and appropriate actions for disease control and prevention. In Sri Lanka, leishmaniasis was declared as a notifiable disease in 2008. This paper presents a comprehensive compilation of the up-to-date documents on the communicable disease and leishmaniasis surveillance in Sri Lanka in order to describe the importance of the existi ...

Abstract:
... Schistosomiasis japonica caused by the trematode flukes of Schistosoma japonicum was one of the most grievous infectious diseases in China in the mid-20th century, while its elimination has been placed on the agenda of the national strategic plan of healthy China 2030 after 70 years of continuous control campaigns. Diagnostic tools play a pivotal role in warfare against schistosomiasis but must ad ...

Abstract:
... Several internet-based surveillance systems have been created to monitor the web for animal health surveillance. These systems collect a large amount of news dealing with outbreaks related to animal diseases. Automatically identifying news articles that describe the same outbreak event is a key step to quickly detect relevant epidemiological information while alleviating manual curation of news co ...

diseasesurveillance, etc ; Lyme disease; models; monitoring; public health; retrospective studies; zoonoses; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Historically, public health surveillance for Lyme disease has required clinical follow‐up on positive laboratory reports for the purpose of case classification. In areas with sustained high incidence of the disease, this resource‐intensive activity yields a limited benefit to public health practice. A range of burden‐reducing strategies have been implemented in many states, creating inconsistencie ...

Abstract:
... No study is currently available on the parasitofauna of the population of brown bears (Ursus arctos) inhabiting the Cantabrian Mountains in Spain. The aim of the present study was to obtain novel information on diversity and prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in these individuals. During August 2016 and from May to July 2017, 14 fecal samples were collected from the western Cantabrian bear s ...
diseasesurveillance, etc ; environmental health; infectious diseases; models; monitoring; pathogens; risk; sheep; wildlife; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Many livestock diseases rely on wildlife for the transmission or maintenance of the pathogen, and the wildlife–livestock interface represents a potential site of disease emergence for novel pathogens in livestock. Predicting which pathogen species are most likely to emerge in the future is an important challenge for infectious disease surveillance and intelligence. We used a machine learning appro ...
diseasesurveillance, etc ; infrastructure; insecticide resistance; issues and policy; medical entomology; vector-borne diseases; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Funding for vector-borne disease surveillance, management, and research is cyclical and reactive in the United States. The subsequent effects have yielded gross inequities nationally that unintentionally support recurrent outbreaks. This policy forum is comprised of four primary subsections that collectively identify specific areas for improvement and offer innovative solutions to address national ...

Abstract:
... While African countries have improved access to immunization since the start of the millennium, progress has stagnated in the last few years. One in five African children is not vaccinated with life-saving vaccines, and recent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) including yellow fever, measles, and meningitis, among others point to gaps in immunization coverage as well as disease surv ...

Abstract:
... In a context of disease emergence and faced with the ever-growing evidence of the role of wildlife in the epidemiology of transmissible diseases, efforts have been made to develop wildlife disease surveillance (WDS) programs throughout Europe. Disease monitoring is ideally composed of “numerator data” (number of infected individuals) and “denominator data” (size of the target population). Too ofte ...

Abstract:
... The current situation of COVID-19 highlights the paramount importance of infectious disease surveillance, which necessitates early monitoring for effective response. Policymakers are interested in data insights identifying high-risk areas as well as individuals to be quarantined, especially as the public gets back to their normal routine. We investigate both requirements by the implementation of d ...

Abstract:
... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important regulatory role in several diseases, especially as a class of promising biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Here, a biosensor based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification technology was developed for ultra-sensitive detection of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 in breast cancer serum. By using ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the role that an environmental prion reservoir plays in the outbreak dynamics of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in free ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is critical for the allocation of disease surveillance resources by state and provincial wildlife agencies. We hypothesized that demographic, ecological, and epidemiological configurations naturally attenuate epidemi ...

Abstract:
... 1. Parasites that infect multiple species cause major health burdens globally, but for many, the full suite of susceptible hosts is unknown. Predicting undocumented host–parasite associations will help expand knowledge of parasite host specificities, promote the development of theory in disease ecology and evolution, and support surveillance of multi‐host infectious diseases. The analysis of globa ...

... Early detection of Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) within its intermediate and definitive hosts is crucial for case finding and disease surveillance, especially in low-endemic areas. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) has many advantages over traditional methods of DNA-amplification, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including high sensitivity and specificity whilst being deplo ...

Abstract:
... Overweight and obesity are commonly diagnosed in domestic cats, and undermine cats’ quality of life directly or indirectly via various disease processes known to be associated with overweight and obesity. Epidemiological studies have reported varied overall prevalence among different feline populations, and commonly identified risk factors such as neutering. However, disease associations were not ...

Abstract:
... Marine fish farming in Spain, as in most Mediterranean countries, focuses on the production of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). The sector has experienced performance problems that affect the industry’s competitiveness, and infectious and parasitic diseases have been described as being among the main causes of losses. Whereas companies are aware of the ...
