Abstract:

The Ukraine cholera epidemic of 1994 and 1995 was caused by Vibrio cholerae O1, serotype Ogawa, biotype El Tor. This epidemic was centred in the area around Respublika Krim (Crimea) and Mykolajiv, and spread to include parts of southern Ukraine. Cases of cholera occurred between September and November of 1994 and between June and October of 1995. The 32 fatalities among 1370 recorded cases (case fatality ratio, 2·3%) occurred throughout the course of the epidemic. V. cholerae from patients with cholera produced cholera toxin and were resistant to multiple antibiotics, though no resistance plasmids were found. Conjugation experiments suggested that resistance to multiple antibiotics may be present on a self-transmissible genetic element. Environmental sources of V. cholerae O1 El Tor included sewage, sea and surface water, and fresh water and marine fish. All but one of the environmental V. cholerae isolated during the epidemic were very similar to selected isolates from patients at the same time, supporting the role of these environmental sources in the spread of disease.

Abstract:

Cholera, as an acute, high-risk and widespread infectious disease, has been studied by many scholars. Based on the data from <Annals of Epidemics in China over the Past 3000 Years>, this research investigated the spatial distribution of the cholera epidemic and natural environment mechanism of the cholera epidemic in the Jiangnan area, from the year 1820 to 1821. We applied a set of spatial statistical analyses to investigate the spatial heterogeneity and the factors that influence the cholera epidemic in the Jiangnan area. Results show that: 1) Spatial distribution of cholera epidemic lied at different geographical scales. The cholera epidemic was highly concentrated in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou; There was a north-south difference of cholera epidemic distribution at the regional scale. The cholera epidemic was more concentrated in the north part than in the south part of the Jiangnan area; Meanwhile, there was an east-west difference in cholera epidemic distribution where the intensity of the cholera epidemic decreased from east to northwest and southwest. 2) A land-sea distribution of cholera can be also found. The Chang-Hang line and the Hu-Jia line were the two boundaries of the cholera epidemic in the Jiangnan area. 3) There was a close relationship between the distribution of the cholera epidemic and natural environment in the Jiangnan area. The influence intensity of natural factors on epidemic disasters followed the order of temperature (0.760) > precipitation (0.663) > river distance (0.413) > river density (0.398) > elevation (0.395). The present investigation is conductive to establish a prevention system for public health emergencies, which contributes to the sustainable development of society and human health.

Abstract:

Thirty-seven Vibrio cholerae and four non-cholera Vibrio isolates from Ukraine, including strains from the epidemic of 1994–5, were analysed by molecular methods. Results from PFGE and ribotyping indicated that all Ukrainian toxigenic V. cholerae were closely related to each other and to an isolate from a patient from Pakistan. A non-toxigenic river water strain obtained during the height of the epidemic was more distantly related to these V. cholerae strains, while the Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates and Vibrio alginolyticus isolate were not closely related to V. cholerae or each other. ERIC- and REP-PCR allowed the differentiation of strains identical by other methods. The results obtained confirm that the epidemic Ukrainian strains are most closely related to seventh pandemic strains from Asia and support a hypothesis that the Ukrainian epidemic of 1994–5 was caused by toxigenic environmental strains surviving since the time of the 1991 Ukrainian epidemic or before.

Abstract:

In 2017, from October 15 to November 21, 5 cholera cases imported from India – 3 patients and 2 carriers of V. cholerae – were recorded in Almaty. The patients recovered from the disease. Objective of the study was to characterize the imported cases of cholera and investigate the properties of cholera vibrio strains isolated from patients and carriers of V. cholerae. Materials and methods. Revised were the medical records; blood sera, feces from patients and contact persons were assayed. Studied were sensitivity spectrum to antibacterial preparations of isolated V. cholerae strains according to the “Methodological guidelines on laboratory diagnosis of cholera”, dated September 27, 2010; No 252. Epidemiological, microbiological, immunological and molecular-genetic methods were applied for investigation. Results and conclusions. Consequently to molecular genetic studies, genes of specificity, wbeN and toxicity (epidemic significance), ctxA, tcpA were detected in samples from 3 patients and 2 contact persons. The isolated strains were identified as Vibrio cholerae O1 Eltor Inaba in two cases, and in one case – as Vibrio cholerae O1 Eltor Hykoshima, Heiberg group I, toxigenic, hemolysis negative in Greig test, virulent, highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin, doxycilin, erythromycin, tetracycline and moderately sensitive to levomycetin. It was established that the country of export in all the cases was India. Relevant anti-epidemic and preventive measures were undertaken to localize and eradicate the foci in order to prevent possible threat of epidemic spread of infections among the population.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThis investigation was undertaken to characterize the prevalence of intestinalVibrio choleraein healthcare workers (HCWs) returning from Haiti due to the ongoing cholera epidemic. Eight hundred and fifty asymptomatic HCWs of the Cuban Medical Brigade, who planned to leave Haiti, were studied by laboratory screening of stool culture forV. cholerae. A very low percentage (0·23%) of toxigenicV. choleraeserogroup O1, serotype Ogawa was found. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the largest reported screening study forV. choleraeinfection in asymptomatic HCWs returning from a cholera-affected country. Cholera transmission to health personnel highlights a possible risk of transmitting cholera during mobilization of the population for emergency response. Aid workers are encouraged to take precautions to reduce their risk for acquiring cholera and special care should be taken by consuming safe water and food and practising regular hand washing.

Abstract:

SUMMARYCameroon has experienced recurrent cholera epidemics with high mortality rates. In September 2009, epidemic cholera was detected in the Far North region of Cameroon and the reported case-fatality rate was 12%. We conducted village-, healthcare facility- and community-level surveys to investigate reasons for excess cholera mortality. Results of this investigation suggest that cholera patients who died were less likely to seek care, receive rehydration therapy and antibiotics at a healthcare facility, and tended to live further from healthcare facilities. Furthermore, use of oral rehydration salts at home was very low in both decedents and survivors. Despite the many challenges inherent to delivering care in Cameroon, practical measures could be taken to reduce cholera mortality in this region, including the timely provision of treatment supplies, training of healthcare workers, establishment of rehydration centres, and promotion of household water treatment and enhanced handwashing with soap.

Abstract:

Santiago, the capital city of Chile, has suffered for years from high rates of typhoid fever, reaching peaks as high as 210 cases/100,000 in 1977 and 1982. Many officials suspected that the use of raw wastewater to irrigate 13,500 ha of vegetables and salad crops may have been one of the modes of transmission. However, control measures have in general been ineffective. In April, 1991 an outbreak of 41 cases of cholera occurred in Chile probably initiated by the penetration of cholera cases from adjacent Peru which was undergoing an explosive cholera epidemic. Investigations showed that there was strong circumstantial evidence supporting the hypothesis of typhoid and cholera transmission by wastewater irrigated crops. From data gathered it is shown that while there was little seasonal typhoid fever variation in the rest of the country, there was a decided summer peak in Santiago that coincided with the peak irrigation season and harvesting of sewage irrigated vegetables. In the 1991 cholera outbreak, which occurred during the irrigation season, 68% of the cases had consumed wastewater irrigated salad crops eaten uncooked. Salmonella typhi and Vibrio cholerae were isolated by “Moore” pads from raw wastewater in canals leading to irrigated vegetable plots. Other direct and indirect evidence supports the case of wastewater irrigated vegetables as the main mode of transmission. Emergency cholera control measures, including heavy chlorination of raw wastewater, partially settled by flowing in slow moving irrigation canals, are reviewed.

Abstract:

Background: Greatest risk of acute diarrhea outbreaks occurs in over-populated communities & refugee settings characterized by poor sanitation, unsafe drinking-water and increased person to person transmission. Because the incubation period is very short, number of cases can rise extremely quickly and it calls for a prompt and thorough investigation. There were reports of cases of acute diarrhoea and based on the preliminary field work, the existence of an outbreak was confirmed. Hence it was decided to investigate the outbreak with objectives to determine the causes and source of acute diarrhoea outbreak at Narasapura village in Kolar and to suggest control measures.Methods: The cross sectional study was conducted in Narasapura village of Kolar which is a fast growing industrial area. All the households and migratory settlements of the affected area were included. Attack rates of the disease were computed, epidemic curve drawn and the results were analyzed to draw conclusions. Control measures were applied simultaneously.Results: The diarrhoea attack rate at AD colony was 10%. Males (65%) were more affected compared to females (35%). 15.4% stool samples were positive for Vibrio cholera and 18% of the water samples was found to be non-portable. Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor serotype Ogawa strain was implicated as the cause for present outbreak.Conclusions: Cholera continues to be a public health problem in migratory settings, causing disease outbreaks. Environmental risk factors and lack of awareness are the contributory factors which need to be addressed.

Abstract:

Background. The problem of cholera remains acute for world health service and risks of importation of Vibrio cholerae strains from endemic countries to Russia do exist. Toxigenic strains (carrying cholera toxin genes ctxAB) can cause epidemic outbreaks of cholera and non-toxigenic (ctxAB-) – single or multiple cases of cholera-like diarrhea. Investigation of their ability to survive in water reservoirs in climatic conditions of middle latitudes by means of forming biofilms is essential for potential threat evaluation. Materials and methods. Biofilm formation by 15 V. cholerae strains on abiotic surfaces was studied in microcosms with tap water and cover glasses. Identification of responsible genetic determinants in whole genome sequences and bioinformatics analysis were performed using BioEdit 7.2.5, BLASTN 2.2.29, Blastp and Vector NTI Advance 11 software. Results. The strains investigated differed in terms of biofilm formation which correlated with structural features of genes for MSHA pili (msh), matrix polysaccharides (vps) and proteins (rbm) as well as for certain regulatory factors. Strains with none or few genetic deviations from prototypes formed mature biofilms in 5-7 days while those containing truncated genes mshL, mshN, rbmC – only in 13 days. One strain with truncated gene for positive regulator vpsR formed an immature biofilm. Acceleration of the process in some strains up to 2-3 days correlated with either truncated gene hapR (negative regulator) or altered structure of both msh and vps-rbm gene clusters. Conclusion. Analysis of genetic determinants responsible for biofilm formation may be used for prediction of V. cholerae ability to survive in environmental objects of Russia and thus the potential danger of the latters as sources of infection.

Abstract:

Recently, a new strain of cholera, Vibrio cholerae O139, has emerged as an epidemic strain, but there is little information about its environmental reservoir. The present investigation was aimed to determine the role of cyanobacteria in the persistence of V. cholerae O139 in microcosms. An environmental isolate of V. cholerae O139 and three cyanobacteria (Anabaena sp., Nostoc sp., and Hapalosiphon sp.) were used in this study. Survival of culturable V. cholerae O139 in microcosms was monitored using taurocholate-tellurite gelatin agar medium. Viable but nonculturable V. cholerae O139 were detected using a fluorescent antibody technique. Vibrio cholerae O139 could be isolated for up to 12 days in a culturable form in association with cyanobacteria but could not be isolated in the culturable form after 2 days from control water without cyanobacteria. The viable but nonculturable V. cholerae O139 could be detected in association with cyanobacteria for up to 15 months. These results, therefore, suggest that cyanobacteria can act as a long-term reservoir of V. cholerae O139 in an aquatic environment.Key words: cyanobacteria, persistence, Vibrio cholerae, microcosm, reservoir.

Abstract:

Utilizing medical manuals, medical records, newspapers, and letters, the history of the management of epidemics from 1803-1902 will be explored. This thesis weaves together and explores the political history of the nineteenth century by analyzing the contribution of doctors and reformers in the management of diseases. This thesis explores the intersection between the construction of a public health system and the implementation of these practices by political actors and physicians. The history of the management of disease is analyzed from the introduction of the mass vaccination campaign, in Spain, in 1803. This thesis first analyzes the development of a public health system focused on prevention. It then challenges the system created by examining how effective these measures were against the multiple waves of cholera to hit Spain. It then addresses the important role reformers had in the late nineteenth century. It was through their efforts that doctors and reformers became explicitly linked to new ideas of citizenship and responsibility. This paper emphasizes both continuity in the importance of health care, but also the transformations in the discourse of public health responsibility. Ultimately, it centers liberalism and an emerging middle class within the discussion of a health policy.

Abstract:

The idea of providence was a prominent and pervasive theme in public discourse on subjects of national importance, and upon momentous occasions in nineteenthcentury England. Perceptions of divine involvement and purpose in human affairs embodied in the notion of providence seemed to be at the heart of a religious world view in the Christian tradition, and thus essential elements for study in any historical investigation of religious change. The midcentury years, ostensibly a period of high religious consciousness, provide an opportunity to explore processes which were eventually to lead to the more secular nature of society apparent by the end of the century. The recurring cholera epidemics between 1831 and 1854 were alarming events which provoked reactions throughout society; they provide a means of tracing developments in perceptions of providential involvement in calamitous events during a critical twenty-four year period. Systematic surveys of a broad range of sources, including newspapers, periodicals and sermons were carried out to document the responses of different sections of society, and facilitated investigation of cross-sectional and longitudinal patterns in religious attitudes. It was hypothesised that changing ideas about the nature and extent of providential action in relation to epidemic disease could provide an index of the process of secularization of thought, and thus contribute to the wider debate on secularization. The results vindicated the use of the concept of providence to explore religious consciousness. They have confirmed the mid-nineteenth century to be a critical period for religious change. Analysis of religious perceptions of cholera at three points in time produced a complex picture of changing attitudes, including an unexpected peaking of providential interpretations by some observers during the second epidemic. However, the variation between different sources and social groups did not obscure a significant longer-term trend of decline in providential attitudes, consistent with a secularization of thought during the quarter of a century studied.

Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to examine the extent to which the cholera epidemics that prevailed in Sweden during the nineteenth century affected Döderhult parish during the period 1834-1866. The study aims first to examine the total number of cholera deaths in Döderhult parish. Additionally, it examines the individuals who died of cholera concerning gender, age and occupation. The essay also aims to examine whether Döderhult parish was more affected by the cholera epidemic than other nearby parishes were and if so, why? In accordance to this, the death rate of Döderhult parish is thus studied in comparison with Mönsterås parish and documented cholera deaths in Fliseryd parish during the period. The results show that of the 68 people who died in Döderhult parish between 1834 and 1866, 35 were men and 33 were women. The examination of the deceaseds’ age showed that the most vulnerable groups in the parish were the children and the elderly. The results regarding the deceased’s occupation showed that most men, women and children belonged to the working class. Last but not least, the comparative examination between Döderhult parish and the nearby parishes showed that Döderhult parish was worse affected by the cholera epidemic due to factors such as potential trade agreements, overcrowding, lack of public health measures, the industries’ impact on population and the spread of infection through relocation from the town of Döderhultsvik to the parish.

Abstract:

Recent increases in opioid overdose rates have changed the role of first responders on the front lines of this national crisis. The present study used a semi-structured qualitative interview to investigate how the increase in opioids, opioid-related harm, and opioid-related death within Tennessee has affected the first responder population. Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics (N = 30) from rural-serving counties in Tennessee completed a semi-structured interview. Eight themes emerged from the interviews: (1) mental health symptoms, including posttraumatic stress disorder and secondary traumatic stress symptoms; (2) coping behaviors; (3) available resources; (4) barriers to accessing resources; (5) recommendations for what is needed; (6) hardest circumstances; (7) discrepant thoughts and feelings; (8) perception of role in reducing the impact of the epidemic. This study provides novel insights into the impact of the opioid epidemic on Tennessee first responders, and can inform future efforts to reduce adverse outcomes in these care providers.

Abstract:

Bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by nontyphoidal serotypes of Salmonella is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella disease (iNTS) is especially associated with HIV in adults and HIV, malaria and malnutrition in children in this setting. HIV-infected subjects are at particular risk of recurrent disease, both from recrudescence from a sanctuary site and re-infection. Whole- genome sequencing has revealed a novel sequence type (ST) of S. Typhimurium, ST313, is particularly associated with iNTS in SSA and that ST313 display the genomic signature of differential host adaptation. Little is known about African strains of S. Enteritidis. The Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Programme (MLW) has conducted BSI surveillance in adult and paediatric medical patients in Blantyre, Malawi since 1998, enabling long term trends in iNTS to be described. Paediatric iNTS disease has been placed in the context of malaria, malnutrition and seasonality using structural equation modelling. An observational cohort was recruited to describe changes in adult BSI cases following the roll-out of ART in Blantyre. A longitudinal cohort study with enhanced microbiological surveillance was undertaken to investigate the site of persistence of NTS in HIV infected adults and the effect of recurrence upon the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Lastly whole-genome sequencing was undertaken to compare invasive, African strains of S. Enteritidis with a reference isolate and to construct a global phylogeny of this serotype. There have been three epidemics of invasive Salmonella disease in Blantyre, all of which were preceded by the emergence of a multidrug resistant (MDR) strain. These were caused initially by S. Enteritidis which was then followed by S. Typhimurium, but most recently an epidemic of MDR S. Typhi has started. NTS has declined from epidemic levels, but remains an important cause of BSI in Blantyre and has been demonstrated to acquire cephalosporin iv and fluoroquinolone resistance just once through an IncHI2 plasmid. The decline in paediatric malaria is complex and multi-factorial. It cannot be attributed solely to malaria control interventions as has been the case in other settings. All causes of BSI are falling in adults and this is likely to be attributable in part to the hugely successful HIV treatment programme in Blantyre. The rapid initiation of ART appears to rapidly confer protection against recurrence of iNTS and even though more adult patients are surviving into convalescence, in this cohort, no further emergence of extended resistance was seen. Just as there is a distinct African clade of S. Typhimurium, a distinct clade of S. Enteritidis has emerged in SSA, which also possess the genomic signature of differential host adaptation, a novel prophage repertoire and a novel, MDR plasmid. In Blantyre, iNTS disease has declined from its epidemic peaks, but remains an important cause of BSI. The epidemiology of iNTS is more complex in Blantyre than other settings, but it seems likely that improved in-patient care and measures to control the HIV-pandemic impact on survival and recurrence. Two clades of NTS have emerged from host promiscuous serotypes, both of which have genomic degradation in genes governing potential host range and there is a critical need to understand the environmental niches and transmission pathways of these differentially adapted, invasive clades.
