Abstract:

SUMMARYWe provide an update on the epidemiology of shigellosis in Israel using data generated by a sentinel laboratory-based surveillance network for the period 1998–2012. The average annual incidence of culture-proven shigellosis was 97/100 000. We estimated that each case of shigellosis accounted for 25 cases in the community indicating the high burden of disease. Orthodox Jewish communities, living in highly crowded conditions and with a high number of children aged <5 years were the epicentre of country-wide biennial propagated epidemics ofS. sonneishigellosis.S. flexneriwas the leading

Abstract:

In epidemiology, traditionally it is accepted to separately consider the epidemic process of specific infections. However, in the human population at the same time many pathogens circulate and cause disease in people. The question remains to be open: does every epidemic process in the each case occurs as alone or being interconnected with the epidemic process of other infectious diseases? The implementation of the integration method in the study of the spread of causal pathogens with similar transmission mechanism contributes to a more objective conclusion on this issue.

Abstract:

On the basis of general biological laws, connected with intrapopulational variety, the proposition proving that the optimum action time on the epidemic process is the minimum prevalence rate both in long-term and in year dynamics is substantiated. It is shown that both the parasite (shigellosis pathogenes) and host (patients with disenteria) have the least heterogeneity in the period of minimum disease intensity showing the instable state of parasitical system of the epidemic process. The proposition suggested is substantiated in the epidemiologic experiment on the model of disenteria. The epi

ABSTRACTIn 2016, Michigan experienced the largest outbreak of shigellosis, a type of bacillary dysentery caused byShigellaspp., since 1988. Following this outbreak, we isolated 16 novelShigella-infecting bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) from environmental water sources. Most well-known bacteriophages infect the common laboratory speciesEscherichia coliandSalmonella enterica, and these phages have built the foundation of molecular and bacteriophage biology. Until now, comparatively few bacteriophages were known to infectShigellaspp., which are close relatives ofE. coli. We present

Abstract The article aims to estimate and forecast the transmissibility of shigellosis and explore the association of meteorological factors with shigellosis. The mathematical model named Susceptible–Exposed–Symptomatic/Asymptomatic–Recovered–Water/Food (SEIARW) was used to explore the feature of shigellosis transmission based on the data of Wuhan City, China, from 2005 to 2017. The study applied effective reproduction number (Reff) to estimate the transmissibility. Daily meteorological data from 2008 to 2017 were used to determine Spearman's correlation with reported new cases and Reff. The S

AbstractShigellosis, a leading cause of diarrhoeal mortality and morbidity globally, predominantly affects children under five years of age living in low- and middle-income countries. While whole genome sequence analysis (WGSA) has been effectively used to further our understanding of shigellosis epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, and transmission, it has been under-utilised in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we applied WGSA to large sub-sample of surveillance isolates from South Africa, collected from 2011 to 2015, focussing on Shigella flexneri 2a and Shigella sonnei. We find each se

Abstract:

Surveillance data suggest an intensification of the shigellosis epidemic associated with sexual transmission in men who have sex with men (MSM) in England with separate introductions into the population. In 2014, sexual transmission between MSM might have accounted for 97%, 89%, and 43% of non-travel associated Shigella flexneri 3a and S. flexneri 2a, and S. sonnei diagnoses. Clinicians should sensitively ascertain sexual history for men with enteric infections to facilitate prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.

We monitored the antimicrobial susceptibility of 7121 S. sonnei isolates collected in France between 2005 and 2021. We detected a dramatic increase in the proportion of isolates simultaneously resistant to ciprofloxacin (CIP), third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs) and azithromycin (AZM) from 2015. Our genomic analysis of 164 such extensively drug-resistant (XDR) isolates identified 13 different clusters within CIP-resistant sublineage 3.6.1, which was sele

Abstract Introduction: Shigellosis is the major factor responsible for dysentery among children who are <5 years of age. Shigella dysenteriae are responsible for outbreaks and epidemics. Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei are the predominant species known to cause endemic infections in developing and developed countries. One of the main concerns about the increase in Shigella infections is their ability to easily acquire antibiotic resistance.
