HPV (human papillomavirus) is extremely common, with 80% of sexually active people contracting a strain at some point. It causes various cancers and genital warts. While most HPV infections clear on their own, persistent infections increase cancer risk. Vaccines target high-risk HPV strains responsible for 70% of cervical cancers. They provide sustained, high-level immunity for at least 4.5 years with minimal side effects. Screening and vaccination can significantly reduce HPV-related cancers globally.
This document provides an overview of Catherine T. Yu's background and credentials. It then summarizes her presentation on infectious hazards and occupational exposures for healthcare workers. The key points discussed include:
- Common infectious agents that pose risks to healthcare workers through blood or bodily fluid exposure
- Groups of healthcare workers at highest risk of acquiring bloodborne pathogens
- Modes of transmission for bloodborne pathogens like HIV, HBV, and HCV
- Post-exposure management protocols for exposures, including recommended prophylaxis and follow-up testing
Can patterns of ranavirus emergence be used to assess conservation threat?mgray11
This document discusses patterns of ranavirus emergence in amphibian populations and the threats they pose to conservation. It summarizes evidence that some populations experience persistent disease emergence and population declines over 80%, while others experience temporary emergence that does not result in long-term impacts. The document also discusses evidence that amphibians may be evolving responses to ranavirus, such as changes in sexual selection and immune gene diversity, but that novel ranavirus strains in Europe pose a serious threat due to lack of coevolution. Overall, the document examines how ranavirus emergence patterns can help assess threats to amphibian species conservation.

This document discusses HIV and TB in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It finds that 86% of HIV infections and 76% of TB cases are concentrated in 14 sub-districts, mainly due to factors like poverty, overcrowding and migration. Effective prevention and treatment requires multi-sectoral strategies including increasing access to testing, treatment and prevention tools, as well as addressing social and structural drivers of disease transmission at individual and community levels through normative and behavioral changes. An ideal approach combines biomedical, behavioral and structural interventions tailored to local epidemiology and risks.
The document provides standard operating procedures for responding to poliovirus events and outbreaks. It defines events and outbreaks, outlines the classification of vaccine-derived polioviruses, and describes risk assessment and grading of outbreaks. The response to events and outbreaks includes immunization strategies, with the number and timing of supplemental immunization activities determined by the risk zone and phase. Outbreak assessment and closure procedures ensure transmission has been interrupted. Management functions such as notification, stockpile release, and leadership coordination are also covered.

The document discusses population growth models, specifically the exponential growth model. It provides the example of the common European rabbit in Australia to illustrate exponential growth. Some key points:
- Rabbits were introduced to Australia in 1859 without natural predators, allowing for unchecked population growth.
- Rabbits have a high reproductive rate that can double the population size every 6 months.
- The rabbit population in Australia grew exponentially, reaching an estimated 600 million by the early 1900s and destroying vegetation across 60% of the country.
- Biological controls like myxomatosis virus and rabbit hemorrhagic disease were later introduced to control the exploding rabbit population. Physical barriers were also constructed to limit the rabbits' range.
Malaria is a protozoal disease transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. In 2019, there were 229 million malaria cases and 409,000 deaths, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. High-risk groups include young children, pregnant women, immigrants, international travelers, and those with HIV/AIDS. Malaria prevalence is higher among poor, rural, tribal, and forest-dwelling populations with limited healthcare access. Common vectors in India include An. culicifacies, An. stephensi, An. minimus, and An. epiroticus. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P. ovale and
Viruses are the most common cause of infectious diarrhea, responsible for up to 3/4 of all cases globally. Rotaviruses cause the majority (50-80%) of viral gastroenteritis cases and are responsible for over half a million deaths per year in developing nations, mostly in undernourished infants and young children. Rotaviruses are naked double-stranded RNA viruses that are transmitted via the fecal-oral route and cause acute onset vomiting and diarrhea. Rapid antigen testing of stool samples can diagnose rotavirus infection. While rotavirus vaccines are now available for children, rotaviruses remain a major public health challenge worldwide, especially in developing countries.
This document provides information about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. It defines key terms, describes coronaviruses and how SARS-CoV-2 can be killed. It estimates infection numbers in South Korea and the US, and infection rates in California and the Bay Area. It explains the need to "flatten the curve" to avoid overwhelming hospitals. Social distancing and quarantines can lower the virus's transmission rate and slow its spread.
Adopting new technologies for cervical cancer preventionSebakaMolapo
This document discusses new technologies for cervical cancer prevention, including HPV vaccination, HPV testing, and cytology. HPV vaccination provides nearly 100% protection from cervical cancer if 70% of women are vaccinated. HPV testing is a more sensitive screening method than cytology or visual inspection with acetic acid and can identify women at risk of cervical disease earlier for treatment. The benefits of HPV testing include detecting existing HPV infections, identifying women at higher risk of cervical cancer, and providing longer-term protection compared to cytology alone. Widespread use of HPV vaccination and improved screening technologies like HPV testing can help reduce cervical cancer cases and deaths.
This document discusses genital ulcer diseases. It covers several sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can cause genital ulcers including herpes simplex virus, syphilis, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, and donovanosis. For each STI, the document describes the causative agent, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. It also discusses the clinical management of genital ulcer cases, which involves taking a patient history, performing an examination, ordering laboratory tests, making a diagnosis, providing treatment, advice and follow up.
Cervical cancer is a major health problem, but HPV vaccination and screening can reduce rates. HPV is transmitted sexually and can cause cervical cancer. The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cancers. Northern Ireland has high HPV vaccination rates. While the vaccine reduces cancer risk, screening is still needed since the vaccine does not protect against all HPV types and cannot help women already infected. In the future, screening may shift to HPV testing as prevalence decreases due to vaccination.
This document summarizes various adult immunization guidelines. It discusses vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, human papillomavirus, influenza, varicella, herpes zoster, measles, mumps, rubella, pneumococcus, meningococcus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and Japanese encephalitis. For each vaccine, it provides information on disease burden, target populations for vaccination, vaccine types, dosing schedules, efficacy, contraindications and precautions. The document was written by Dr. Sshrutkirti Gupta and provides a comprehensive overview of recommended adult immunizations.
Professor Quarraisha Abdool Karim will take you on a journey showing how knowledge and science have made an incredible impact on battling the HIV virus on the African content. Through empowering women to help fight this deadly disease, Professor Karim’s work has managed to translate scientific research and knowledge into people-centred solutions and prevention programmes to reduce the factors making young people so vulnerable to HIV infection. Be inspired by this story and prepared to embrace your own challenges to transform them into positive actions.

Epidemiology and epidemiologist are the most important determinants of any disese control programme irrespective of mode of control. It may either through vaccination or just through interventions at different edges of epidemiological triangle. Even before thinking of developing a vaccine one should understand epidemiology of the Disease.
While developing the vaccine one should test it on the principles of Epidemiology.
Vaccination programmes should be formulated by trained epidemiologists.
1. Mycobacterial diseases, including tuberculosis, are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. Tuberculosis infects over 1.5 billion people globally and causes millions of deaths each year.
2. Tuberculosis is transmitted through the air when people with active TB cough, sneeze, or speak. It most commonly affects the lungs but can spread throughout the body. Symptoms include cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss.
3. Diagnosis involves examination of sputum samples for acid-fast bacteria under microscopy and culture. Chest x-rays also help with diagnosis but may appear normal in some groups like advanced HIV patients. Tuberculosis is treated with a combination of antibiotics over
The document discusses various contact transmitted infections including viral diseases like AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and rabies, as well as bacterial diseases such as anthrax, gas gangrene, gonorrhea, leprosy, and tetanus.

This document summarizes Dr. Hayley MacGregor's research on the social dimensions of zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans) in emerging livestock systems. It discusses two key areas: 1) how cultural and social practices influence zoonotic risk, and 2) the relationship between humans and animals. For area 1, it describes how factors like intensification of production, supply chains, processing practices, markets and consumer demand can drive zoonotic risk. For area 2, it discusses how human-animal relations blur traditional categories, and how the health of humans and animals is interdependent.

This document discusses the benefits of mass vaccination programs for animal diseases that can infect humans (zoonoses).
It first presents data showing that mass vaccinating 25 million livestock animals in Mongolia against brucellosis would provide over $30 million in total societal benefits, including public health benefits, private health benefits, reduced household income loss, and agricultural benefits.
It then uses a mathematical model to show that mass dog vaccination is less costly than human post-exposure prophylaxis for controlling rabies transmission between dogs and humans.
Finally, it references a study that found an approach combining dog and human vaccination for rabies control in N'Djaména to be more cost-effective than human
Investigating the spatial epidemiology of zoonotic viral haemorrhagic feversNaomi Marks
This document discusses investigating the spatial epidemiology of zoonotic viral haemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola. It examines using species distribution models to spatially assess the potential for animal transmission of diseases like Ebola to humans. It also examines using these models to spatially assess how diseases spread through human populations after initial transmission. The document outlines how boosted regression trees can be used to model disease suitability based on environmental correlates and make predictions about potential risk areas. It concludes by discussing the need to better understand disease dynamics in animal reservoirs and human exposure risk to predict spillover events.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Zika: epidemiology and control

2. Timeline
• Apparent gradual spread across Pacific, though phylogeography not
yet certain
(Samantha Lycett, virological.org)
3. Why flaviviruses are
hard to model
• Acute immunising infections – hard to
measure transmission intensity
• Immune-mediated interactions
between flaviviruses
• Disease not always apparent
• Aedes aegypti population density
highly spatiotemporally variable
• So transmission dynamics also highly
variable
4. • Secondary cases per case
• Determines age at infection,
attack rate, impact of controls
• Attack rate depends on weakly on
transmissibility for R0>2 –
implications for control
• Endemic age distribution of cases
will vary markedly with
transmission intensity

5. R0 for Zika
• Hard to estimate:
Varies spatially & temporally
Serology hard to interpret
• Zika probably similar to dengue:
Kucharski 2016 – Polynesia –
R0=1.9-3.1 (always <4)
Nishura 2016 – Yap island –
4.3-5.8
Rodríguez-Barraquer 2016 –
suggests dengue and zika
transmissibility highly correlated
From Johansson et al, Vaccine, 2011
R0 <1 required for
elimination, so
controls need to
reduce R0 by >50%,
preferably 80%+
Dengue R0
7. Why now?
• Pure chance?
• Genetic change?
• El Niño–Southern Oscillation?
If climate driven, then transmissibility
might be less in future years
8. Disease invasions
• Key – lack of population
immunity
• Speed dependent on R0,
generation time, population
connectivity, seasonality
• Models need to be spatial
Initial wave of transmission will
be over within 1-2 years in a
single location
But may take up to 5 years to
affect whole of Latin America
Initial wave of transmission
likely to be followed by 10+
years of v low incidence (due to
herd immunity from 1st wave)
Simulations show results from simple spatial
stochastic model for incidence in total modelled
population. Results are illustrative rather than
predictive.

9. What if dengue cross-reacts
with Zika?
• Scenario: immunity
increasing with age - 35
year olds have 50% of
the susceptibility of new-
borns
• Results in smaller initial
wave
• Shorter time to become
endemic
• Enhancement may also
facilitate persistence

10. How does age of infection
change over time?
• Depends on R0
• All ages equally affected during
initial epidemic
• After initial wave, the mean age
of infection falls – older people
immune, newborn children
susceptible
• But for reasonable values of
R0, likely than endemic mean
age at infection will be around
start of child-bearing age range

11. Data needs
• Infection attack rates from serological surveys:
infer R0, per-infection risk of microcephaly,…
Age stratified – infer risk over time &/or by age
Multiple locations – assess geographic heterogeneity
Cohorts – compare seroconversion rates and disease incidence
• Need sensitive and specific tests (dengue cross-reactivity an issue)
Imai et al, Plos
NTD, 2014
13. Interventions in first wave
• Motivation: reduce attack
rate
• But interventions need
sustained effect
• Benefits of even sustained
vector control now are
limited unless they reduce
R0 below 1

14. Persistent vector interventions
• Massive use of RIDL or Wolbachia
could largely prevent exposure
• But needs to happen before or early
in an epidemic to have major impact
• Wolbachia potentially more
sustainable & affordable than RIDL
– only needs to be released once
• wMel strain likely to stop
transmission for at least ~30 years

Pessimistic projections of
wMel impact on endemic
dengue
15. Vaccine
• If it can be licensed in the next 12-24 months, might still
have an impact in some areas of Latin America
• Impact likely to be much lower outside that timeframe
• Trial design will be challenging:
Sites with recent transmission are unlikely to see
much more for 10+ years
Hard to predict which sites will be affected next year,
with what attack rate
Microcephaly endpoints difficult
16. • Very different epidemiology from both Ebola and MERS-CoV – not ‘containable’
• Need R0 estimates to project likely incidence trends in the next few years
• Serological surveys will allow transmissibility, microcephaly risk to be assessed
• First wave of transmission in Latin America will mostly be over within ~3 years.
• Herd immunity means there likely 10+ year gap before transmission restarts
• Interventions need to be effective, sustained & timely to have substantial effect
• RIDL and Wolbachia both have potential
• Vaccine efficacy trials will need to be innovative
