ABSTRACT Background: Systematic monitoring of exanthema is largely absent from public health surveillance despite emerging diseases and threats of bioterrorism. Michigan Child Care Related Infections Surveillance Program (MCRISP) is the first online program in child care centers to report pediatric exanthema. Methods: MCRISP aggregated daily counts of children sick, absent, or reported ill by parents. We extracted all MCRISP exanthema cases from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2019. Cases were assessed with descriptive statistics and counts were used to construct epidemic curves. Results: 360 exanthema cases were reported from 12,233 illnesses over 4.5 seasons. Children ages 13-35 months had the highest rash occurrence (45%, n = 162), followed by 36-59 months (41.7%, n = 150), 0-12 months (12.5%, n = 45), and kindergarten (0.8%, n = 3). Centers reported rashes of hand-foot-mouth disease (50%, n = 180), nonspecific rash without fever (15.3%, n = 55), hives (8.1%, n = 29), fever with nonspecific rash (6.9%, n = 25), roseola (3.3%, n = 12), scabies (2.5%, n = 9), scarlet fever (2.5%, n = 9), impetigo (2.2%, n = 8), abscess (1.95, n = 7), viral exanthema without fever (1.7%, n = 6), varicella (1.7%, n = 6), pinworms (0.8%, n = 3), molluscum (0.6%, n = 2), cellulitis (0.6%, n = 2), ringworm (0.6%, n = 2), and shingles (0.2%, n = 1). Conclusion: Child care surveillance networks have the potential to act as sentinel public health tools for surveillance of pediatric exanthema outbreaks.

Federal Jurisdiction

In the aftermath of Severe Acute Respirato- ry Syndrome (SARS) and with concern growing about avian flu, mad cow, and other emerging diseases, public health surveillance has become a matter of importance to Canadians. Such sur- veillance is a key component of the fight against these diseases; it involves the systematic collec- tion, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data about health-related events for use in public health responses. Indeed, new technolo- gies enable “data mining” at an unprecedented scale, both in the amount and type of informa- tion that can be collected, and in the extent to which that information can be used to identify public health concerns. All this has made the concept of “anonymous” information less and less realistic.

AbstractMosquitoes are major infectious disease-carrying vectors. Assessment of current and future risks associated with the mosquito population requires knowledge of the full repertoire of pathogens they carry, including novel viruses, as well as their blood meal sources. Unbiased metatranscriptomic sequencing of individual mosquitoes offers a straightforward, rapid and quantitative means to acquire this information. Here, we profile 148 diverse wild-caught mosquitoes collected in California and detect sequences from eukaryotes, prokaryotes, 24 known and 46 novel viral species. Importantly, sequencing individuals greatly enhanced the value of the biological information obtained. It allowed us to a) speciate host mosquito, b) compute the prevalence of each microbe and recognize a high frequency of viral co-infections, c) associate animal pathogens with specific blood meal sources, and d) apply simple co-occurrence methods to recover previously undetected components of highly prevalent segmented viruses. In the context of emerging diseases, where knowledge about vectors, pathogens, and reservoirs is lacking, the approaches described here can provide actionable information for public health surveillance and intervention decisions.

The Subject

Indonesia is one country that is classified as vulnerable to natural disasters. Merapi eruption isone of the natural disasters that have an impact on public health. Standby village is an important pillarin handling disasters, since people usually are not prepared if there is a sudden disaster. The purposeof the study was to determine the application program of public health surveillance and preparednessafter the eruption of Merapi of 2010 in the implementation of standby village in Talun Village, KemalangSub-district, Klaten District Central Java. The research was descriptive using study case with qualitativeanalysis. The subject of the study was performers implementing public health surveillance program.The object of the study was the social situation in performing program. Informant was determinedbypurposive and snowball effect. Datawere collected by non participativeobservation, interview,documentation,focus discussion group (FGD), and triangulation. Judging from some indicators, the implementationof standby village had been running well. The performing of public surveillance program hasnotbeen running properly due to lack of socialization of the health center. The community disasterpreparednessprogram was good enough. However,it should be improved to preparednessupon healthemergencies.Standby village program and community preparedness is good enough, however it is notfollowedby a good surveillance based on community.
