enteric disease

Asiatic cholera, a new enteric disease, provided the spur to action.

This reduced the wastage from dysentery and other enteric diseases which had been heavy in previous campaigns.

There are six major categories of E. coli strains that cause enteric diseases in humans, including the:

Since then, major research programs have been established in respiratory diseases, malaria, malnutrition, enteric diseases, sexual health, women's health, and others.

The overall rate of water-borne/enteric disease incidence, including acute gastrointestinal disease, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis-A, and typhoid, was estimated to be about 66%.

Research programs there included the study of leptospirosis, plague, hemorrhagic fever, arboviral diseases, enteric diseases, cholera, and rickettsial diseases such as typhus.

Infection and Immunity Unit The unit conducts research into enteric diseases, including cholera, and respiratory diseases including pneumonia and tuberculosis.

However, there is no experimental evidence to suggest that PPV either replicates extensively in the intestinal crypt epithelium or causes enteric disease as do parvoviruses of several other species.

The similarity of MCF clinical signs to other enteric diseases, for example blue tongue, mucosal disease and foot and mouth make laboratory diagnosis of MCF important.

An analysis of the Ganges water in 2006 showed significant associations between water-borne/enteric disease occurrence and the use of the river for bathing, laundry, washing, eating, cleaning utensils, and brushing teeth.

A World Bank report suggests that about 80 percent of the enteric diseases experienced by people in the developing world are associated with not only unsafe water but also inadequate sanitation and poor personal hygiene.

It is endemic in cattle populations worldwide and although normally fairly non-pathogenic it can cause reproductive, respiratory or enteric disease - particularly when the animal is concurrently infected with another pathogen.

"This is the deadliest food-borne outbreak in the United States in more than 25 years," says Barbara Mahon, MD, deputy branch chief of enteric diseases at the CDC.

Exposure factors such as washing clothes, bathing and lack of sewerage, toilets at residence, children defecating outdoors, poor sanitation, low income and low education levels also showed significant associations with enteric disease outcome.

IVI and the National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases (NICED) jointly established a state-of-the-art immune-monitoring laboratory in Kolkata, India.

His research interests include bacterial enteric diseases, epidemiology and pathogenesis of infectious diseases, epidemiological and clinical consequences of bacterial genetic exchange, antimicrobial use and resistance to antimicrobial agents, and teaching epidemiological methods.

"It's gotten more attention this fall, but we've seen these outbreaks due to lettuce and other leafy greens for a long time," said Dr. Christopher Braden, chief of the outbreak response and surveillance team for enteric diseases at the disease centers.

The incidence of water-borne and enteric diseases - such as gastrointestinal disease, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A and typhoid - among people who use the river's waters for bathing, washing dishes and brushing teeth is high, at an estimated 66% per year.

Dr. Blake, who was chief of the enteric diseases branch at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, added, "You have a multiplication of bacteria in decomposing bodies, but they are the same bacteria we all have within us, in our bodies and on our skin."

On Thursday, December 17, CDC's National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases (NCZVED) presented the fourth Public Grand Rounds session entitled "Foodborne Diseases: Better Prevention with Better Public Health Information."

NAMRU-3 basic science, epidemiologic, and clinical investigations have included numerous tropical and subtropical infectious diseases such as enteric diseases, acute respiratory infections, hepatitis, tuberculosis, meningitis, HIV, and various parasitic, rickettsial, and arboviral infections that are endemic and important public health problems to the region.
