This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic disease of cattle caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex group of bacteria. bTB infection in cattle is not uniformly distributed throughout Great Britain but concentrated in the southwest of England and Wales. Vaccination of cattle might offer a long-term solution for controlling the disease and priority has been given to the development of a cattle vaccine against bTB. Identification of biomarkers in tuberculosis research remains elusive and the goal of this project is to identify host correlates of protection and biomarkers of progressive bTB in cattle. Previous work in cattle has revealed three distinct stages following vaccination and challenge with bTB: immune responses following vaccination; early protective anamnestic responses after M. bovis infection in protected cattle; and late responses indicative of progressive disease in unprotected animals. These three stages can be replicated in our mouse model of M. bovis infection. Therefore, we hypothesized that by studying global gene expression during these stages we will identify, respectively, predictors of protection, correlates of protective immunity, and biomarkers of pathology. Because both cattle and mice present these three stages, mice were used for genome-wide expression profiling of systemic responses after BCG vaccination and M. bovis infection to identify candidate biomarkers of protective immunity. RNA was prepared from spleen cells of vaccinated and control mice prior and post-M. bovis challenge. Global gene expression was determined using murine microarrays, and candidate genes identified were validated in cattle by RT-QPCR. After BCG vaccination, we defined a specific pulmonary gene expression signature related to the connective tissue development and function network that predicted vaccine success before M. bovis challenge. In addition, a Th17 -related cytokine profile was found that correlated with vaccine-induced protective immunity following infection with virulent M. bovis in the lung as well as additional genes that were up-regulated in the spleens of vaccinated animals post-infection related to neutrophil biology and inflammation. In antigen-stimulated splenocytes we found statistically significant modulation of 1109 genes early after infection and 1134 at later time-point post-infection. 618 of these genes were modulated at both time points. In the lung 282 genes were significantly modulated in animals post-infection. Amongst the most strongly up-regulated genes were GzmA in spleen, and Cxcl9 and IL-22 in lungs. The expression of the most up-regulated genes identified in the murine studies were evaluated using PBMC from BCG vaccinated and unvaccinated calves prior and post experimental infection; and uninfected and naturally infected cattle. Thus, we confirmed that the expression of IFN-y IL-17, IL-22, Cxcl10 and Ido1 predicted vaccine success and correlated with protection. Cxcl9, GzmA and IL-22 following in vitro stimulation with PPO was significantly increased in infected cows compared to nalve animals. Thus, we have demonstrated that murine transcriptome analysis can be used to predict the responses in cattle. This study has therefore prioritized both biomarkers predicting vaccination success before challenge, biosignatures that are potentially associated with protective immune responses after challenge and biomarkers of pathology that will be useful to evaluate future vaccine candidates. Key words: Bovine tuberculosis, host responses, vaccination, diagnosis, host transcriptome, microarrays.
Download or read book Taking a Multisectoral One Health Approach A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2018 FAO-OIE-WHO (Tripartite) zoonoses guide, “Taking A Multisectoral, One Health Approach: A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries” (2018 TZG) is being jointly developed to provide member countries with practical guidance on OH approaches to build national mechanisms for multisectoral coordination, communication, and collaboration to address zoonotic disease threats at the animal-human-environment interface. The 2018 TZG updates and expands on the guidance in the one previous jointly-developed, zoonoses-specific guidance document: the 2008 Tripartite “Zoonotic Diseases: A Guide to Establishing Collaboration between Animal and Human Health Sectors at the Country Level”, developed in WHO South-East Asia Region and Western Pacific Region. The 2018 TZG supports building by countries of the resilience and capacity to address emerging and endemic zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, Ebola, and Rift Valley fever, as well as food-borne diseases and antimicrobial resistance, and to minimize their impacts on health, livelihoods, and economies. It additionally supports country efforts to implement WHO International Health Regulations (2005) and OIE international standards, to address gaps identified through external and internal health system evaluations, and to achieve targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2018 TZG provides relevant country ministries and agencies with lessons learned and good practices identified from country-level experiences in taking OH approaches for preparedness, prevention, detection and response to zoonotic disease threats, and provides guidance on multisectoral communication, coordination, and collaboration. It informs on regional and country-level OH activities and relevant unisectoral and multisectoral tools available for countries to use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By two years of age, healthy infants in the United States can receive up to 20 vaccinations to protect against 11 diseases. Although most people know that vaccines effectively protect against serious infectious diseases, approximately one-quarter of parents in a recent survey believe that infants get more vaccines than are good for them, and that too many immunizations could overwhelm an infant's immune system. The Immunization Safety Review Committee reviewed the evidence regarding the hypothesis that multiple immunizations increase the risk for immune dysfunction. Specifically, the committee looked at evidence of potential biological mechanisms and at epidemiological evidence for or against causality related to risk for infections, the autoimmune disease type 1 diabetes, and allergic disorders.
