Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the morbidity of Giardia in Monroe County, New York attributed to refugees, foreign adoptees and immigrants, and to examine factors related to asymptomatic Giardia infection. Design/methodology/approach A retrospective epidemiological analysis was conducted of Giardia case investigations submitted to the New York State Department of Health on the Communicable Disease Electronic Surveillance System, between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2013 from Monroe County Department of Public Health. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess odds for asymptomatic Giardia. Findings Of the 1,221 Giardia cases reported in Monroe County during that time, 38 percent (n=467) were refugees, 6 percent (n=77) were foreign adoptees and 1.4 percent (n=17) were immigrants. In total, 95 percent of the refugees and 89 percent of the adoptees/immigrants were asymptomatic, compared to 15 percent of the non-refugee/adoptee/immigrant cases. Unadjusted odds for asymptomatic infection were 113.4 (95 percent CI: 70.6-183.7) for refugees, and 45.6 (95 percent CI: 22.9-91) for adoptees/immigrants. Originality/value This study demonstrates the importance of routine screening for Giardia during refugees’ initial health assessment.

Abstract:

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections (BSIs) are common in hospitals and nursing homes. Infection prevention efforts reduced MRSA BSI in hospitals but the trend in nursing homes is not well described. In addition, the contribution of methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) to the total burden of invasive S. aureus (iSA) in nursing homes remains unknown. Methods: As part of the CDC Emerging Infections Program, we conduct population-based surveillance for iSA infections in Monroe County, New York. Case patients were county residents with S. aureus isolated from a sterile site. Our analysis was limited to data from 2009–2018 for MRSA and 2015–2018 for MSSA and to cases classified as hospital-onset (HO, positive culture ≥3 calendar days after admission) or nursing home-onset (NHO, positive culture in nursing homes or within 3 days of hospital admission from a nursing home). Risk factors for iSA BSI in nursing homes were compared using the χ2 and Student t tests in SAS version 9.4 software. Results: During 2009–2014, 664 MRSA cases occurred and 427 (64%) were BSIs. Of these, 228 (53%) were NHO and 199 (47%) were HO. The BSI incidence per 100,000 population of NHO cases declined from 7.9 in 2009 to 2.8 in 2014, mirroring the decline in HO incidence from 8.7 in 2009 to 3.1 in 2014 (Fig. 1). During 2015–2018, 203 MRSA cases (163 BSIs, 80%) and 235 MSSA cases (163 BSIs, 69%) occurred. Of the 163 MRSA BSIs, 94 (58%) were NHO and 69 (42%) were HO, whereas of the 235 MSSA BSIs, only 56 (34%) were NHO and 107 (66%) were HO. MRSA BSI incidence per 100,000 population in both settings plateaued during 2015–2018 (Fig. 1) and MSSA NHO BSI incidence was lower than HO (1.9 NHO vs 3.6 HO). The total iSA BSI incidence was similar in both settings (5.9 vs 5.0 per 100,000 population in HO and NHO, respectively). NHO MSSA and MRSA cases have similar risk factors for BSI; 45 (30%) had decubitus ulcers, 34 (23%) were on chronic dialysis, 41 (27%) had a CVC in place within 2 days of BSI onset, and 63% had prior healthcare exposures. Most of these developed within 4 weeks of hospital discharge (Fig. 2). Conclusions: The incidence of MRSA BSI in nursing homes has declined since 2009 but plateaued starting in 2015. Compared to MRSA, MSSA caused fewer BSIs in nursing homes; however, iSA risk factors, including previous healthcare exposure, were similar. Continued study is needed to identify interventions effective against all iSA infections in nursing homes.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Abstract:

Background.Long-term care facility (LTCF) residents are at increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). However, little is known about the incidence, recurrence, and severity of CDI in LTCFs or the extent to which acute care exposure contributes to CDI in LTCFs. We describe the epidemiology of CDI in a cohort of LTCF residents in Monroe County, New York, where recent estimates suggest a CDI incidence in hospitals of 9.2 cases per 10,000 patient-days.Design.Population-based surveillance study.Setting.Monroe County, New York.Patients.LTCF residents with onset of CDI while in the LTCF or less than 4 calendar-days after hospital admission from the LTCF from January 1 through December 31, 2010.Methods.We conducted surveillance for CDI in residents of 33 LTCFs. A CDI case was defined as a stool specimen positive for C. difficile obtained from a patient without a C. difficile-positive specimen in the previous 8 weeks; recurrence was defined as a stool specimen positive for C. difficile obtained between 2 and 8 weeks after the last C. difficile-positive stool specimen.Results.There were 425 LTCF-onset cases and 184 recurrences, which yielded an incidence of 2.3 cases per 10,000 resident-days (interquartile range [IQR], 1.2–3.3) and a recurrence rate of 1.0 case per 10,000 resident-days (IQR, 0.3–1.4). The cases occurred in 394 LTCF residents, and 52% of these residents developed CDI within 4 weeks after hospital discharge. Hospitalization for CDI occurred in 70 cases (16%). Of those cases that involved hospitalization for CDI, 70% were severe CDI, and 23% ended in death within 30 days after hospital admission.Conclusion.CDI incidence in Monroe County LTCFs is one-fourth the incidence among hospitalized patients. Approximately 50% of LTCF-onset cases occurred more than 4 weeks after hospital discharge, which emphasizes that prevention of CDI transmission should go beyond acute care settings.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTPublic health and the emergency care community must work together to effectively achieve a state of community-wide disaster preparedness. The identification of model communities with good working relationships between their emergency care community and public health agencies may provide useful information on establishing and strengthening relationships in other communities. Seven model communities were identified: Boston, Massachusetts; Clark County, Nevada; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Erie County, New York; Louisville, Kentucky; Livingston County, New York; and Monroe County, New York. This article describes these communities and provides a summary of common findings. Specifically, we recommend that communities foster respectful working relationships between agency leaders, hold regular face-to-face meetings, educate each other on their expertise and roles during a disaster, develop response plans together, work together on a day-to-day basis, identify and encourage a leader to facilitate these relationships, and share resources.

Abstract:

Previous studies have reported associations between ambient fine particle concentrations and preeclampsia; however, the impact of particulate pollution on early- and late-onset preeclampsia is understudied. Furthermore, few studies have examined the association between source-specific particles such as markers of traffic pollution or wood combustion on adverse pregnancy outcomes. Electronic medical records and birth certificate data were linked with land-use regression models in Monroe County, New York for 2009 to 2013 to predict monthly pollutant concentrations for each pregnancy until the date of clinical diagnosis during winter (November–April) for 16 116 births. Up to 30% of ambient wintertime fine particle concentrations in Monroe County, New York is from wood combustion. Multivariable logistic regression was used to separately estimate the odds of preeclampsia (all, early-, and late-onset) associated with each interquartile range increase in fine particles, traffic pollution, and woodsmoke concentrations during each gestational month, adjusting for maternal characteristics, birth hospital, temperature, and relative humidity. Each 3.64 µg/m 3 increase in fine particle concentration was associated with an increased odds of early-onset preeclampsia during the first (odds ratio, 1.35 [95% CI, 1.08–1.68]), second (odds ratio, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.23–1.86]), and third (odds ratio, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.06–1.46]) gestational months. Increases in traffic pollution and woodsmoke during the first gestational month were also associated with increased odds of early-onset preeclampsia. Increased odds of late-onset preeclampsia were not observed. Our findings suggest that exposure to wintertime particulate pollution may have the greatest effect on maternal cardiovascular health during early pregnancy.

Abstract:

11050 Background: This study examined factors associated with lymph node (LN) assessment in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) at two sites in the U.S. Methods: Detailed clinical, pathologic, and radiographic information was collected through medical record review for 1090 patients with pure DCIS treated between 1985 and 2000 in Monroe County, New York and the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS), Detroit, Michigan. Sociodemographic, clinical, pathologic, and radiologic factors associated with LN assessment were examined using logistic regression models. Covariates were interacted with a site indicator; models were tested down to include only interactions with treatment and year. Results: 395 (36.2%) women had LN assessment; 43 of these were sentinel node dissections. Of the 438 women who had a mastectomy, 341 (86.3%) had LN assessment compared with 54 (13.7%) of the 598 women who had breast conserving surgery (p = 0.0001). In multivariate logistic regression, factors positively associated with LN assessment were mastectomy (OR, 45.5 95% CI 23.9, 86.5), private insurance (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2, 4.4), and high nuclear grade (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.5, 9.2). Smoking was negatively associated with LN assessment (OR 0.5, 95% CI .3, .9). Age, race, method of detection (palpable mass vs. mammography), histologic subtype, and presence of multifocal disease were not associated with LN assessment. Statistically significant downward trends over time existed and did not differ between the two sites. LN assessment rates differed by treatment by site. Women who had mastectomy at HFHS were more likely to have LN assessment than women who had mastectomy in Monroe County (OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.5, 16.7), but women at HFHS who had autogenous reconstruction following mastectomy were substantially less likely to have LN assessment than their counterparts in Monroe County (OR 0.2, 95% CI .04, .65). Conclusions: The finding that LN assessment rates in women with DCIS vary according to non-clinical factors, such as treatment site and insurance type, suggests uncertainty about the role of LN assessment exists. Local treatment culture and financial incentives may play a role in the variations in LN assessment patterns. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:

SUMMARYIn 2011, from August to November, the Monroe County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) investigated 47 salmonellosis cases. Geographical information software (GIS) was used to map the address locations of these cases. The resulting GIS analysis and culture information indicated that there were two distinct clusters of Salmonella that were geographically different. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) testing was run at the New York State Department of Health Wadsworth Laboratory and identified S. Enteritidis (23 cases) and S. Typhimurium (10 cases). The epidemiological investigation identified Turkish pine nuts as the link between ill S. Enteritidis cases. Pine nut samples sent for laboratory testing were a PFGE match to human isolates with S. Enteritidis. A national recall of Turkish pine nuts ensued. A multistate outbreak was identified as a result of the initial investigation of MCDPH, in which 43 people were infected with the outbreak strain from five states. GIS software and shopper card data provided important tools in the epidemiological investigation.

Abstract:

Pale (Vincetoxicum rossicum) and black swallow-wort (V. nigrum) are perennial, twining vines that are increasingly invasive in natural and managed ecosystems in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Both species, introduced from Europe in the 1800s, are listed as noxious weeds or banned invasive species by the USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service. Observations by C. Southby, a local naturalist, over several years at a meadow populated by pale swallow-wort in Powder Mill Park, Monroe County, NY, revealed a gradual disappearance of pale swallow-wort with restoration of native grasses and some dicotyledonous plant species, in a 6.7-m-diameter area. Diseased swallow-wort plants had extensive yellowing and wilting of foliage, likely due to splitting of the basal stem, with white mycelium throughout the stem and crown; small, reddish brown sclerotia were evident, but roots were not affected. Stem tissue sections from 20 symptomatic plants were vacuum infiltrated with 2% NaOCl for 20 min, then plated onto malt yeast agar and potato dextrose agar amended with 60 mg/liter of penicillin and 80 mg/liter of streptomycin, resulting in development of fast-growing, white mycelium which then formed numerous, irregularly shaped (2 to 4 mm diameter), reddish brown sclerotia at the plate edges. Two individual cultures were identified as S. rolfsii (1) based on size, shape, and color of the sclerotia and presence of characteristic clamp connections in the mycelium. The isolate was suspected to be S. rolfsii var. delphinii due to the reported inability of S. rolfsii to persist in regions with extremely low winter temperatures (4), but molecular data showed otherwise. Sequences of the 18S gene (GenBank JN543690), internal transcribed spacer region (JN543691), and 28S gene (JN543692) of the ribosomal DNA identified the isolate, VrNY, as S. rolfsii (2,3). Pathogenicity tests were conducted with individual 2-month-old seedlings of V. rossicum and V. nigrum grown in steam-sterilized Metromix 360 in SC10 polypropylene conetainers in a growth chamber with a diurnal cycle of 25/20°C, a photoperiod of 14-h light/10-h dark, and fertilized at 3 week intervals. Two independent replications of 12 plants of each species were each inoculated at the stem base with a 4-mm-diameter mycelial agar plug from the growing edge of a colonized plate. The agar plug was held in place with 5 g of sterile sand. Control plants (12 of each species per replication) were treated with sterile agar plugs. Plants for each treatment were placed within a clear plastic bag to maintain 90% relative humidity for 72 h, and then removed from the bags. Disease symptoms developed over 21 days, with >90% of inoculated plants showing symptoms within 2 weeks. Control plants were symptomless. Incidence of mortality was 66 and 60% for V. rossicum and V. nigrum, respectively, by 3 weeks. The fungus reisolated from diseased stem and crown tissue produced characteristic mycelium with irregular sclerotia, consistent with those of S. rolfsii. Since spread of this fungus is based on movement of soilborne sclerotia, this isolate may offer potential as a bio-herbicide for control of swallow-wort in natural ecosystems if the isolate can be demonstrated to have a host range restricted to this invasive weed.

Abstract:

Owing to their relative disease resistance and showy spring flowers, cultivars of Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) are commonly planted ornamental and streetside trees in New York state and elsewhere in the U.S. Over the past 2 years, we collected a leaf rust on P. calleryana ‘Bradford’ or ‘Chanticleer’ (also known as ‘Cleveland Select’) from Hempstead (Nassau County), East Moriches and Riverhead (Suffolk Co.), Rochester (Monroe Co.), and Staten Island (Richmond Co.), NY. Leaf samples were collected in June and August 2010 and 2011; adaxial surface lesions resembled infection by fungi in the genus Gymnosporangium (Pucciniales). Lesions were yellow- to red-orange with irregular red to purple margins, 1 to 3.5 cm in any one dimension, and contained 20 to 45 black, subepidermal spermogonia. Hypertrophied plant tissue was evident on the abaxial surface below the spermagonia, but aecia were absent. Genomic DNA was extracted from rust-infected tissue on P. calleryana ‘Bradford’ (East Moriches, Hempstead, Rochester, and Staten Island) and ‘Chanticleer’ (Riverhead), and the D1/D2 domain of the 28s ribosomal DNA was PCR-amplified using primers 4 and 11 (3) and sequenced. Partial 28s rDNA sequences (GenBank Accession Nos. JN969962 to JN969966) were either identical or nearly so (99%) to that of the trellis rust fungus, G. sabinae (AF426209 and AY512845). G. sabinae produces aecia with conspicuous balanoid peridia from August to November or until leaf drop; both characteristics are unique to the genus (1). We therefore monitored rust-infected Callery pears in Riverhead as well as a common pear (P. communis) in Ithaca, NY, for the appearance of aecia in 2011. The telial state of G. sabinae on taxa in the genus Juniperus sect. Sabina (e.g., J. sabina and J. virginiana) was not observed within the vicinity of affected pears. In late September, aecia of G. sabinae with morphological features identical to those described by Kerns (1) and Yun et al. (4) were collected from a P. calleryana in Riverhead (Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium; CUP-067943) and a P. communis in Ithaca (CUP-067943): aecia roestelioid, hypophyllous; periderium balanoid, apex intact and conic, cancellate along the sides; aeciospores brown, globoid to broadly ellipsoid, 22.5 to 28.2 × 25.1 to 32.4 μm, walls 3.3 to 4.7 μm thick. A native of Eurasia and North Africa, G. sabinae was first identified in North America on common pear in 1960 in British Columbia and California (2). Thereafter, the fungus was collected on Callery pear in northern Washington in 1988 and recently, in Michigan in 2009 (4). To our knowledge, this is the first report of G. sabinae on P. calleryana ‘Bradford’ and ‘Chanticleer’ as well as P. communis in New York and the new records represent a large (>800 km) eastward expansion of the distribution of the pathogen in the U.S. The geographic locations of affected trees described herein suggest that the trellis rust fungus is well-established across New York, and has spread undetected since its introduction. Given the widespread planting of Callery pear and occurrence of susceptible Juniperus spp. in urban landscapes of New York, G. sabinae has the potential to become a perennial problem where epidemiological conditions permit host alternation.
