Salmonella surveillance report ; no. 52, SEPTEMBER 1, 1966
No full textFor the Month of July 1966During July 1,630 isolations of salmonellae from humans were reported, an average of 408 recoveries per week. This represented a decrease of 17 from the weekly average during June 1966 and a decrease of 42 from the weekly average during July 1965. The cumulative number of isolations reported for the first 7 months of 1966 (10,508) is 6.0 percent fewer than the number of isolations reported during the same period in 1965 (11,180). The seasonal pattern remained similar to that observed in 1965 (Figure 1).I. Summary -- II. Reports of Isolatons from the States -- III. Current Investigations -- IV. Reports from States -- V.

Salmonella surveillance report ; no. 42, OCTOBER 28, 1965
No full textFor the Month of September 1965During September, 2,518 human isolations of salmonella were reported for an average of 504 per week. This represented an increase of 32 over August and a decrease of 21 from the figure for September, 1964 (See Figure 1).The cumulative number of reported human recoveries through September (15,585) was less than the comparable figure for 1964 of 15,970 (See Table I). The indication is that 1965 will represent a decrease from 1964 in reported human isolations. A total of 652 nonhuman recoveries were reported during September for a decrease of seven from the previous month.A Salmonella saphra alert, prompted by the occurrence of 10 cases in Texas during the past six weeks appears under CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS.Included under Reports from the States this month is a report on a recent outbreak of Salmonella heidelberg gastroenteritis in New Jersey and a review of typhoid fever in California in 1964. A review of salmonellosis in Korea and a report of the second quarter isolations of salmonellae in the Netherlands are included under the International Section.Continued interest in the problem of contamination of brewer's yeast and cottonseed meal with salmonellae is reflected in reports of surveys of these items by state and federal laboratories in the Food and Feed Surveillance Section.I.

Salmonella surveillance report ; no. 39, JULY 30, 1965
No full textFor the Month of June, 1965This month marks the completion of Dr. Charles E. McCall's two-year assignment with the Salmonella Surveillance Unit. Dr. McCall has returned to the Harvard University Medical Service at the Boston City Hospital as Senior Resident in Medicine. Dr. Richard N. Collins will now assume duties as Chief of the Salmonella Surveillance Unit.During June a total of 2,174 isolations of salmonellae from human sources were reported to the Salmonella Surveillance Unit for an average weekly total of 435.This represented an increase of 14 isolations per week over May 1965, and a decrease of 4 isolations per week from June, 1964. This conforms to the seasonal pattern of salmonellosis noted in this country during 1963 and 1964.Included under the section Current Investigations is a report on a recent program of surveillance of South American turtles and monkeys at the point of entry into the United States. A progress report on the continuing investigation of the large waterborne outbreak of Salmonella typhi-murium infection in Riverside, California, is also included under Current Investigations. A report of human isolations of salmonellae for the first quarter of 1965 from Belgium and the Netherlands is summarized in the International section.I. Introduction -- II.

Get PDFBackground:Refugees from Burma who consume fish caught from local waterbodies have increased risk of exposure to environmental contaminants. We used respondent driven sampling (RDS) to sample this hard-to- reach population for the first Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations program. In the current study, we examined the interview data and assessed the effectiveness of RDS to sample the unique population.Methods:In 2013, we used RDS to sample 205 Burmese refugees and immigrants residing in Buffalo, New York who consumed fish caught from Great Lakes waters. RDS-adjusted population estimates of sociodemographic characteristics, residential history, fish consumption related behaviors, and awareness of fish advisories were obtained. We also examined sample homophily and equilibrium to assess how well the RDS assumptions were met in the study.Results:Our sample was diverse with respect to sex, age, years residing in Buffalo, years lived in a refugee camp, education, employment, and fish consumption behaviors, and each of these variables reached equilibrium by the end of recruitment. Burmese refugees in Buffalo consumed Great Lakes fish throughout the year; a majority of them consumed the fish more than two times per week during summer, and about one third ate local fish more than once per week in winter. An estimated 60% of Burmese refugees in Buffalo had heard about local fish advisories.Conclusions:RDS has the potential to be an effective methodology for sampling refugees and immigrants in conducting biomonitoring and environmental exposure assessment. Due to high fish consumption and limited awareness and knowledge of fish advisories, some refugee and immigrant populations are more susceptible to environmental contaminants. Increased awareness on local fish advisories is needed among these populations.U61 TS000139/TS/ATSDR CDC HHS/United State
Salmonella surveillance report ; no. 46, FEBRUARY 28, 1966
No full textFor the Month of January 1966.During January L, 531 human isolations of salmonella were reported. The average number of isolations per week (383) represented an increase of 16 over December 1965, but a decrease of 2 from January 1965. The number of human isolations reported during January followed the expected pattern (See Figure 1). Nonhuman isolations during January totaled 525, 201 less than December 1965.Included in this issue under CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS is a preliminary report on an outbreak of gastroenteritis due to Salmonella pullorurn and S. paratyphi B in Aurora, Illinois.I.

No full textSurveillance and outbreak reporting systems in Vietnam required improvements to function effectively as early warning and response systems. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health of Vietnam, in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, launched a pilot project in 2016 focusing on community and hospital event-based surveillance. The pilot was implemented in 4 of Vietnam's 63 provinces. The pilot demonstrated that event-based surveillance resulted in early detection and reporting of outbreaks, improved collaboration between the healthcare facilities and preventive sectors of the ministry, and increased community participation in surveillance and reporting
