We detected Marburg virus RNA in rectal swab samples from Egyptian rousette bats in South Africa in 2017. This finding signifies that fecal contamination of natural bat habitats is a potential source of infection for humans. Identified genetic sequences are closely related to Ravn virus, implying wider distribution of Marburg virus in Africa.We examined Coxiella burnetii seroconversion rates by measuring C. burnetii IgG among 2 cohorts of veterinary students. #link# During follow-up of 118 seronegative veterinary students, 23 students seroconverted. Although the clinical importance of the presence of antibodies is unknown, veterinary students should be informed about the potential risks for Q fever.We detected 3 lyssaviruses in insectivorous bats sampled in South Africa during 2003-2018. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify Duvenhage lyssavirus and a potentially new lyssavirus, provisionally named Matlo bat lyssavirus, that is related to West Caucasian bat virus. These new detections highlight that much about lyssaviruses remains unknown.We evaluated the prevalence of Brucella canis seropositivity in a convenience sample of dogs from commercial breeding kennels in Ontario, Canada. Overall, 127/1,080 (11.8%) dogs from 23/63 (37%) kennels were seropositive. The prevalence of positive dogs within kennels with >1 positive dog ranged from 3.9% to 100% (median 33%).Little information is available about human infections by the members of the genus Ehrlichia in Mexico. Only 2 species, Ehrlichia canis and E. link2 chaffensis, are known to cause disease in this country. We report a fatal case of human monocytic ehrlichiosis in Mexico City in a man who was homeless.In 2018, a strain of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), named YNDH/V079/2018, was isolated from a sentinel calf in Mangshi County, Yunnan Province, China. Nucleotide sequencing and neutralization tests indicated that the virus belongs to a novel serotype of EHDV that had not been reported previously.Epidemiology of bat Betacoronavirus, subgenus Sarbecovirus is largely unknown, especially outside China. We detected a sarbecovirus phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 from Rhinolophus cornutus bats in Japan. The sarbecovirus' spike protein specifically recognizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 of R. cornutus, but not humans, as an entry receptor.Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica 4,[5],12i- sequence type 34 represents a worldwide public health risk. To determine its origin in the United States, we reconstructed a time-scaled phylogeny with a discrete trait geospatial model. The clone in the United States was introduced from Europe on multiple occasions in the early 2000s.Low pathogenicity avian influenza (H5N2) virus was detected in poultry in the Dominican Republic in 2007 and re-emerged in 2017. Whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis show introduction of an H5N2 virus lineage from Mexico into poultry in the Dominican Republic, then divergence into 3 distinct genetic subgroups during 2007-2019.In 2018 and 2019, spotted fever was suspected in 3 dogs in 3 US states. The dogs had fever and hematological abnormalities; blood samples were Rickettsia seroreactive. Identical Rickettsia DNA sequences were amplified from the samples. Multilocus phylogenetic analysis showed the dogs were infected with a novel Rickettsia species related to human Rickettsia pathogens.Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is a severe respiratory disease caused by Sin Nombre virus in North America (SNV). As of January 1, 2020, SNV has caused 143 laboratory-confirmed cases of HCPS in Canada. We review critical aspects of SNV virus epidemiology and the ecology, biology, and genetics of HCPS in Canada.During 2017-2018, Barmah Forest virus was recovered from mosquitoes trapped in military training areas in Australia and from a soldier infected at 1 of these areas. Phylogenies of the nucleotide sequences of the envelope glycoprotein gene E2 and the 3' untranslated region suggest that 2 lineages are circulating in eastern Australia.An outbreak of ulcerative stomatitis was observed in a donkey (Equus asinus) dairy herd. Similar lesions were also observed on the dams' udders and, sporadically, in genital areas. The lesions typically resolved in 1-3 weeks. An α-herpesvirus, Varicellovirus, genetically related to equid herpesvirus type 3, was identified.We identified Candidatus Borrelia fainii, a human pathogenic bacterium causing New World relapsing fever in a Myotis bat in eastern China. This finding expands knowledge about the geographic distribution of Borrelia spp. and the potential for infection with New World relapsing fever in China.Previously identified only in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and southeastern Kenya, Bombali virus-infected Mops condylurus bats were recently found »750 km away in western Kenya. This finding supports the role of M. condylurus bats as hosts and the potential for Bombali virus circulation across the bats' range in sub-Saharan Africa.We report a unique outbreak of Rift Valley fever in the Eldamar area, Sudan, May-July 2019, that resulted in 1,129 case-patients and 19 (1.7%) deaths. Patients exhibited clinical signs including fever (100%), headache (79%), and bleeding (4%). Most (98%) patients also reported death and abortions among their livestock.Domestic dogs are responsible for nearly all the »59,000 global human rabies deaths that occur annually. Numerous control measures have been successful at eliminating dog-mediated human rabies deaths in upper-income countries, including dog population management, parenteral dog vaccination programs, access to human rabies vaccines, and education programs for bite prevention and wound treatment. PF477736 Implementing these techniques in resource-poor settings can be challenging; perhaps the greatest challenge is maintaining adequate herd immunity in free-roaming dog populations. Oral rabies vaccines have been a cornerstone in rabies virus elimination from wildlife populations; however, oral vaccines have never been effectively used to control dog-mediated rabies. Here, we convey the perspectives of the World Organisation for Animal Health Rabies Reference Laboratory Directors, the World Organisation for Animal Health expert committee on dog rabies control, and World Health Organization regarding the role of oral vaccines for dogs. We also issue recommendations for overcoming hesitations to expedited field use of appropriate oral vaccines.The article considers the first steps of the Federal priority project «Lean polyclinic», which is taking place in the Russian healthcare system, aimed at organizing a new model of medical care and the problems that stand in the way of implementing a new concept in the practice of functioning of domestic polyclinic institutions. The purpose of the study is to identify the results of a Federal priority healthcare project that started in Russia in 2018 and is aimed at organizing a new model of medical care in Russia. The article notes that the process of organizing «lean production» should not begin with installations launched from above, but with identifying problems and finding optimal solutions in the workplace. To implement the concept of «Lean polyclinic» in the practice of functioning of domestic polyclinic institutions in each Russian polyclinic, it is necessary, first of all, to identify the list of problems that exist directly in this particular polyclinic. The results presented in the article of the study allow us to conclude that the concept of «Lean hospital» aims to find a solution to the main problems arising in the organization of primary health care system and shows the high efficiency of this system with the introduction of medical institutions to optimize the process of medical care.The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases and first-time preliminary diagnoses during the medical examination of the adult population of Eastern and South - Eastern administrative districts of Moscow. Determine the risk factors that cause the most significant effect for the development of diseases of the endocrine system and eating disorders and metabolic disorders. The analysis of the medical examination data with a comprehensive assessment of the data from industry statistical reports, including the report form N 131, approved by the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. It was found out that the risk factors identified during the medical examinations cause the development of chronic non-communicable diseases and the dynamics of indicators for the identified risk factors for obesity and established preliminary diagnoses of obesity from endocrine system diseases, eating disorders and metabolic disorders are equally directed. These percentages of preliminary diagnoses established during the medical examinations can be used for rapid assessment of the quality of the medical examinations and the adoption of cross-sectoral connections and measures aimed at preventing the development of this pathology at the regional level, with a broader implementation of preventive measures to improve public health, including monitoring and measures to reduce the impact of risk factors associated with insufficient physical activity, poor nutrition through the involvement of agencies, responsible for maintaining urban planning and transport policies and requirements for the urban environment, as well as the availability of medical care.The purpose of the study is to determine the specifics of neurotization of medical workers with emotional exhaust. Out of 6,830 medical workers surveyed, 1,012 were selected with severe emotional exhaust in order to further determine their specificity of neurotization. Used Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire (MBI), modification of Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire (mod MBI), burnout questionnaire (BQ), neurotic level diagnosis technique (NLDT), clinical questionnaire for identifying and evaluating neurotic conditions (CQIENC), symptomatic questionnaire (SQ). Mathematical and statistical processing included descriptive statistics, C. Pearson's correlation criterion, and Cheddock's table for determining the tightness (strength) of correlation (weak - 0.9). Medical professionals with a higher than average level with a tendency to a high level of emotional exhaust (51.64) and emotional burnout (270.14) are dominated by stress (109.17), experience of traumatic circumstances (28.65), dissatisfaction with oneself (26.05), driving into a cell (29.10), anxiety and depression (25.37), which determine above the average level of anxiety ( 4.35, high connection 0.80), asthenia (4.20, high connection 0.74), anxiety, tension (51.57, high connection 0.76), neurotic disorders (40.28, high 0.74), hypochondriacal disorders (29.04, high connection 0.74), psychasthenic disorders (37.53, 0.76 high connection). The specifics of neurotization of medical workers with emotional exhaust affects, first of all, the emotional-volitional sphere, which gives grounds to recommend medical workers a systematic diagnosis and prevention of emotional exhaust as a component of professional deformations of medical workers.
