Get PDFThis article is the introduction to a 12-paper supplement on global trends in typhoid fever. The Tackling Typhoid (T2) project was initiated in 2015 to synthesize the existing body of literature on typhoidal | and study national and regional typhoid fever trends. In addition to a global systematic review, eight case studies were undertaken to examine typhoid and paratyphoid fever trends in endemic countries alongside changes in relevant contextual factors. Incidence variations exist both within and between regions with large subnational differences as well, suggesting that public health changes impacting typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in one setting may not have similar impacts in another. This supplement also brings to light the lack of national typhoid fever surveillance systems, inconsistencies in diagnostics, and the lack of typhoid fever associated morbidity and mortality data in many countries, making it difficult to accurately quantify and track burden of disease. To better understand typhoid fever there is a need for more high-quality data from resource-poor settings. The implementation of typhoid surveillance systems alongside the transition to blood-culture confirmation of cases, where possible, would aid in the improvement of data quality in low-income settings. The following supplement includes the results of our global systematic review, eight-country case study articles, a qualitative article informed by semistructured interviews, and a conclusion article on potential ways forward for typhoid control.2018-07-25T00:00:00Z30047370PMC612836

Arthropod-borne virus information exchange Number ten, October 1964
Get PDFIssue number ten of the Arbovirus Infoexchange marks a milestone, not only as the tenth dispatch in little more than four years, but as a uniquely conscientious and expeditious interchange of scientific information on a global scale. Not only are the reports more numerous, giving geographically comprehensive coverage\u2014with the exception of the Asian land mass\u2014on what is really going on in arbovirus research, but it is obvious that the literary quality of the contributions is remarkable, reflecting many factors, not the least of which are the increasing sophistication of our field of science and a more profound appreciation of what each laboratory and investigator's effort means to the whole.In this issue, we can see the evolution of increased emphasis on investigation of the mammalian host in reports ranging from those on rodents in New Jersey to bats in Africa. While dengue fevers and CNS involvement and mortality from Venezuelan equine encephalitis in man, along with hemorrhagic fever in central South America, continue to be the most serious problems in the New World, hemorrhagic dengue and related Chikungunya occupy an ever-widening area of concern in south and southeastern Asia. The lack of reporting from India fails to give an otherwise balanced perspective to this problem which now looms large enough for the World Health Organization to sponsor a special conference on mosquito transmitted hemorrhagic fevers in Bangkok beginning October 19. This disease struck Calcutta and environs in the latter part of 1963. Here, as in Bangkok, Saigon, Manila, Penang, and Singapore, the etiology is not absolutely clear because both dengue and Chikungunya virus activity has been identified.The opinions or views expressed by the contributors do not constitute an endorsement or approval by the U.
