The document discusses several misunderstood determinants of COVID-19 that have been claimed but lack epidemiological evidence. It questions correlations that have been proposed between COVID-19 outcomes and factors like median age, BCG vaccination rates, religion, and disease burdens. While some correlations appear convincing based on statistics alone, the document argues they ignore important context and exceptions. There have been very few rigorous epidemiological studies of COVID-19 to determine true disease modulators and spread, and many studies have misused non-epidemiological data.
This document discusses vector-borne diseases (VBDs) and their history, epidemiology, and impact. It notes that VBDs represent 17% of the global disease burden and cause millions of cases and deaths annually from diseases like malaria, dengue, and filariasis. The document covers the basic concepts of VBD transmission cycles and how environmental factors can influence disease spread. It outlines the roles of mosquitoes, flies, lice, fleas, and ticks as disease vectors. The history of medical entomology and associations between vectors and major diseases are also summarized.
The Evolution of Viral Pathogens in Veterinary Medicine: Canine Parvovirus an...Kara Moloney
Viral pathogens like canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine influenza virus pose challenges for veterinary medicine due to their ability to rapidly evolve. CPV emerged in 1978 and has since evolved into multiple variants, including CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c. These variants differ in their viral capsid protein VP2, which affects host specificity. Canine influenza is an influenza A virus that crossed over from equines to canines in 2004. While not causing major outbreaks like CPV, it still poses a threat through potential evolution. Both viruses continue adapting transmissibility and host range through genetic mutations under selection pressure.

This document reviews the history of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) variants worldwide, the current situation, and control measures. It discusses how IBV exists as many different antigenic and genetic types called variants. Variants emerge through mutation and recombination, and some spread widely while others remain localized. The history of variants is reviewed for the USA, Europe, Asia, and Brazil. Vaccination is an important control measure, but the existence of many variants makes vaccination more challenging due to poor cross-protection between variants.

Peste des-ruminants-is-a-rinderpest.doc pdfGudyne Wafubwa
Peste des petits ruminant virus (PPRV) is a disease mostly affecting goats and sheep. Since its first discovery, it has caused massive economic loss to most small pastoralists in Africa and other developing countries. It is the integral role of all stakeholders to join hands so as to eradicate the disease.
Metagenomic studies on virus dynamics at the livestock/tick/wildlife interfac...SIANI
In Uganda swine is a major protein source and is kept by ca 19 per cent of the rural population. Estimations say that about two million pigs are kept in Uganda. From the governmental side pig is recommended as being ideal for poorer people, but also for bigger production, due to the large litter sizes and that they reach slaughter weight fast.
Unfortunately, this also gives problems with infectious diseases of various kinds. One of the most feared diseases of pigs is African swine fever (ASF), which is caused by a virus, African Swine fever virus (ASFV). There are currently no vaccine or treatment for this disease. Occasionally there are big outbreaks and this leads to tremendous consequences for the farmer and is extremely painful for the animals.
The symptoms can vary a lot from sudden death to more subtle, and therefore it can be difficult to judge if pigs have the disease or not. One reason for this is that different genetic variants circulate of the virus that have different pathogenicity.
The natural reservoirs of the virus are different types of wild pigs, warthogs and bushpigs and a soft tick (Ornithodoros) and may via the latter be transferred to domestic pigs. The introduction is however often due to infected pigs or meat products. This is due both to economical reasons and knowledge gaps about the virus behind the disease. Lots of the virus epidemiology and life cycle is unknown that must be sorted out to be able to combat the viral disease in an effective way. The scope of this project, which is a part of a bigger project, is to study the virus in the tick vector using so called viral metagenomics. This is a combination of advanced molecular techniques and computer analysis (bioinformatics). This will give a more complete picture of the virus survival and spread in the vector.
Emerging pathogens are infectious diseases whose incidence is increasing or threatening to increase. They include diseases that have developed antibiotic resistance or spread to new areas. Major emerging pathogens since the 1970s include HIV, Ebola, SARS, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria like MRSA. Factors driving emergence include increased travel and trade, antibiotic overuse, environmental changes, and evolving pathogens. Controlling emerging diseases requires early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and preventing transmission through vectors and contaminated food/water.
The document discusses the biggest threats to global health security, including climate change, noncommunicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance, emerging infectious diseases, bioterrorism, and dual use research. It notes that the world population is now 7 billion compared to 1.5 billion 100 years ago, with more people living in cities and traveling frequently between populations. Emerging diseases often originate from animal sources and are becoming more common due to changes in climate, ecology and human behavior. The growth of antimicrobial resistance could result in millions of deaths annually by 2050 if not addressed. New technologies like genome editing and synthetic biology hold benefits but also risks if misused.

1.SANITATION VS VACCINATION- The History of Infectious DiseasesAntonio Bernard
The document discusses the origins of many infectious diseases in humans. It notes that 60% of human infectious diseases originated in animals, and that diseases emerged as early humans increasingly domesticated animals like cows, pigs, chickens, and camels. Close contact between humans and domesticated, disease-carrying animals allowed pathogens to jump species. For example, measles likely emerged from cattle viruses, smallpox from camel viruses, influenza from duck viruses, and whooping cough and typhoid from pig bacteria. It was not until the domestication of these animals that humans were exposed to these diseases.
Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It has infected humans for hundreds of thousands of years and was a major cause of death in the 18th-19th centuries. While vaccines and drugs were developed in the early 20th century, cases began rising again in the 1980s due to factors like HIV/AIDS and immigration from high prevalence countries. M. tuberculosis is spread through airborne droplets when infected people cough, sneeze or speak. It typically infects the lungs but can spread throughout the body. The bacterium is able to survive inside immune cells called macrophages. A proper immune response is needed to contain the infection, involving the activation of macrophages and formation of granulomas. Def
This document describes a mathematical model of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission applied to the New Zealand Tongan population. The model predicts that with current infant vaccination coverage of 53%, chronic HBV prevalence will plateau at 2% over 250 years. However, 73% vaccination coverage is needed to eliminate HBV long-term. Improving coverage to 85% through targeted vaccination could arrest transmission within a generation and eliminate HBV, similar to outcomes in Taiwan and Alaska with similar policies. Screening and disease management may also help reduce the HBV burden, though its precise impact is hard to quantify. Mathematical models can help evaluate different control strategies for high prevalence populations.

Presentation on Emerging and reEmerging infectious diseasesBasharat Rashid
This document provides an overview of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. It discusses trends showing a resurgence of infectious diseases since the late 20th century. Emerging diseases are newly identified agents causing health issues, while re-emerging diseases were previously controlled but are increasing. Factors driving emergence include changes in human, animal and environmental conditions. Examples are given of recent emerging diseases like SARS, avian influenza, and drug-resistant pathogens. National surveillance and global cooperation are needed to monitor, investigate and respond to infectious disease threats.

The document discusses chicken (poultry) as an animal model for studying human diseases like coronaviruses. It notes that the first coronavirus discovered was the avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in chickens in the 1930s. Drawing from decades of experience with IBV, the poultry industry can provide insights into zoonotic coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2 that cause COVID-19. The document outlines similarities between IBV and human coronaviruses in terms of structure, genome and replication mechanisms.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread through animal bites that kills over 50,000 people per year globally. While vaccination can prevent rabies in exposed people, there are currently no effective antiviral treatments for human rabies infections. This study evaluated two methods, cytopathic effect inhibition and MTT assay, for screening potential anti-rabies drugs in vitro, and found that only cytopathic effect inhibition was suitable for detecting antiviral activity against rabies in infected McCoy cells.
This document discusses Newcastle disease, a highly contagious and destructive viral disease of birds. It is caused by a paramyxovirus that can infect all bird species and some mammals. The virus exists in lentogenic, mesogenic, and velogenic pathogenic forms. Clinical signs vary depending on the strain but often include respiratory signs such as coughing as well as nervous signs such as tremors. The disease is transmitted through direct contact or contaminated feces, equipment, feed, and wild birds. Young birds are generally more severely affected. Vaccination is important for control of this economically important disease of poultry.
This document provides an overview of Newcastle disease in birds. It begins with an introduction defining Newcastle disease as a viral infection caused by avian paramyxovirus 1. The document then covers the etiology, epidemiology, transmission, clinical signs, and post mortem lesions of the disease. Key points include that the virus is shed in feces and respiratory secretions and transmitted through direct or indirect contact, and that clinical signs can include neurological issues while post mortem lesions are not specific.

This document provides information about influenza viruses, including:
1) Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and infect hosts through respiratory and digestive tracts. They are single-stranded RNA viruses that are unstable and mutate frequently.
2) Influenza virus type A is further classified based on pathogenicity and includes highly, medium, and low pathogenic strains. Swine can be infected by multiple strains simultaneously and act as mixing vessels for genetic reassortment.
3) Influenza causes diseases in birds, swine, and humans. Avian influenza strains like H5N1 can cause severe disease in birds and occasionally infect humans. Swine influenza strains periodically infect

This document summarizes 10 poultry diseases:
1. Newcastle disease, caused by paramyxovirus PMV-1, causes respiratory, nervous and digestive signs and lesions including hemorrhage and ulcers. Vaccination is important for prevention.
2. Viscerotropic velogenic ND causes sudden onset and rapid spread with facial swelling and eye/nose discharge.
3. Pigeon PMV1 causes neurological signs like tremors and paralysis.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease affecting the central nervous system caused by the Lyssavirus. It is transmitted primarily through animal bites, especially from rabid dogs which account for 99% of human cases in India. There are three main forms - urban rabies transmitted by domestic dogs, wildlife rabies perpetuated by animals like jackals and foxes, and bat rabies spread by vampire bats. Symptoms include malaise, headache and pain at the bite site followed by neurological symptoms like fear of water and light, increased salivation and spasms. Diagnosis involves identifying a history of animal bite and detecting the virus. Treatment is supportive and vaccination is given as post-exposure prophylaxis. Nursing care focuses on
Arboviruses are a diverse group of RNA viruses transmitted between vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors like mosquitoes and ticks. They belong to different virus families but are comparable in factors such as geographical distribution and transmission. Common arboviruses include dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis and Zika viruses, which are endemic in many parts of India and cause diseases ranging from fever to encephalitis. Arboviruses are maintained in nature through transmission cycles between animals and arthropod vectors, with humans as accidental hosts.
Plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is primarily a disease of rodents and their fleas. It can occur in various forms including endemic, epidemic, sporadic, pneumonic and bubonic. While historically a major epidemic disease, plague still causes occasional outbreaks in parts of Africa, Asia and the Americas. Transmission is usually from infected rodents to humans via flea bites. Diagnosis involves lab tests of samples from patients. Treatment involves antibiotics like streptomycin. Control relies on early detection, vaccination, flea and rodent control through insecticides and improved sanitation.
This document discusses the transmission of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDv) through multiple avenues. It notes that FMDv is highly contagious due to its low infectious dose, environmental survival, high viral shedding from infected animals, wide host range, transmission prior to clinical signs, and potential for subclinical infections. Modes of transmission include direct contact, exposure to contaminated fomites or aerosols, ingestion of infected animal products, and airborne spread. Peak shedding occurs from ruptured vesicles. Incubation period shedding enhances transmission through animal movements and interactions. Carriers can also transmit the virus for extended periods, though their role in transmission is uncertain.
Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral disease that infects horses, pigs, and humans. It is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus, a flavivirus transmitted primarily by Culex mosquitoes. The disease is endemic in parts of Asia and the Pacific. Birds act as the natural reservoir host and pigs amplify the virus. Humans and horses are dead-end hosts and can experience neurological symptoms. There is no treatment for the virus and vaccination is the most effective way to prevent disease in humans and animals.
Swine influenza is caused by influenza A viruses that infect pigs. The document discusses the epidemiology, clinical signs, diagnosis and laboratory testing of swine influenza. It notes that the disease spreads rapidly between pigs through direct contact, with morbidity rates as high as 100% though mortality is generally low. Diagnosis involves virus isolation from nasal swabs or lung tissue within 1-2 days of symptoms, and serological testing to detect antibodies in paired serum samples.
Marek's disease is a highly contagious lymphoproliferative disease of chickens caused by a herpes virus. It is characterized by mononuclear infiltration and tumors in lymph nodes, muscles, and internal organs. Clinical signs include paralysis of legs and wings. Gross lesions include enlargement of peripheral nerves and lymphoid tumors in visceral organs. The virus is transmitted through inhalation of dander and feathers and infects lymphocytes. Vaccination is the primary prevention method though it does not prevent infection but reduces disease severity.

- Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD), also known as Gumboro disease, is a highly contagious viral disease affecting young chickens.
- It is caused by a birnavirus that infects and destroys lymphocytes in the bursa of Fabricius, causing immunosuppression. This predisposes chickens to other diseases.
- Clinical signs include self-vent pecking, diarrhea, tremors, and mortality up to 20% in severe outbreaks. Post-mortem lesions include enlarged or atrophied bursa and hemorrhages. Diagnosis involves virus isolation from the bursa or serological tests.
This document provides information on common poultry diseases that affect the respiratory system:
- Fowl pox causes wart-like lesions and is transmitted through direct contact or mosquitos. Vaccination can stop outbreaks.
- Newcastle disease is highly contagious and causes respiratory distress. Prevention includes vaccination and biosecurity.
- Infectious bronchitis affects chickens and causes respiratory signs and egg production drops. Vaccination and biosecurity prevent it.
- Avian influenza ranges from mild to highly pathogenic and causes respiratory signs. Strict quarantine and rapid destruction of infected flocks is needed to control outbreaks.
This document discusses viral infections of the central nervous system, focusing on poliovirus and rabies virus. It provides details on the pathogenesis, transmission, clinical presentation, diagnosis and prevention of infections caused by these two viruses. Poliovirus is an enterovirus that causes poliomyelitis. It is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Rabies virus is transmitted via bites from infected mammals and causes rabies, an acute neurological disease. Both infections can be prevented through vaccination.
This document discusses several common poultry diseases:
1. Fowl pox is a viral disease spread by direct contact or mosquitoes that causes wart-like lesions; vaccination is the only prevention.
2. Newcastle disease is a highly contagious virus that affects respiratory and nervous systems and can cause up to 80% mortality without treatment.
3. Infectious bronchitis is a contagious virus spread through the air that infects respiratory and reproductive tracts, causing egg production drops and respiratory signs. Vaccination and biosecurity are used for prevention.
Newcastle Disease is a contagious and fatal viral disease affecting many avian species, especially poultry. It poses a major threat to the poultry industry in Egypt. The virus has different strains and pathotypes causing variations in disease severity and symptoms, ranging from respiratory to neurological signs. Diagnosis involves virus isolation, molecular techniques, and serology. Prevention and control relies on biosecurity measures and vaccination strategies, using live attenuated or inactivated vaccines, with mass vaccination programs aiming to produce protective antibodies in as many birds as possible to control outbreaks.
This document discusses several common poultry diseases:
1. Fowl pox is a viral disease spread by direct contact or mosquitoes that causes wart-like lesions; vaccination is the only prevention.
2. Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease spread through respiratory secretions and causes respiratory distress; vaccination and sanitation are used for prevention.
3. Infectious bronchitis is a contagious viral disease spread through the air and contaminated materials that infects the respiratory tract and reproductive system, lowering egg production; vaccination is used for prevention.
This document discusses strategies to control Porcine Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), a globally significant pig disease. It describes the history and impact of typical and atypical PRRS strains in the Philippines. Diagnostic methods and farm classification systems are outlined. Key control strategies include vaccination, improving biosecurity, and managing pig flow. Proper testing and isolation of replacement stock is important to prevent virus introduction to naive farms.

Highlights on the EFSA Scientific Opinion on the appropriate age range for introduction of complementary feeding into an infant's diet, Prof M Fewtrell
This document summarizes a study on establishing dietary reference values (DRVs) for sodium intake. It describes the challenges in determining an adequate and safe sodium intake range due to conflicting evidence on sodium's effects on blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. The study used a formal expert knowledge elicitation process and reviewed evidence on sodium balance, blood pressure, and disease risk to determine that a sodium intake of 2.0 g/day represents a level associated with reduced disease risk and ability to maintain sodium balance for most adults. This intake value of 2.0 g/day was established as the safe and adequate level for sodium for the general adult population in the EU.
Methods used to assure high quality study for ERAEFSA EU
This document discusses methods for assuring high quality studies for environmental risk assessments of transgenic plants. It outlines principles for early-tier testing of non-target arthropods, including selecting relevant test species, characterizing the test substance, choosing appropriate exposure levels and durations, including suitable negative and positive controls, and evaluating study results to avoid false positives or negatives. The goal is to generate reliable data that risk assessors can interpret consistently and use robustly in the risk assessment process.

DRIVERS FOR EMERGING ISSUES IN ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH
This document discusses the importance of problem formulation in ecological risk assessment (ERA) for genetically modified (GM) crops. It notes that ERA and ecological research have different goals, with ERA aiming to predict no harm rather than make discoveries. Proper problem formulation in ERA involves considering legislation, the risk analysis process, risk context, and protection goals to identify only credible risks. This ensures the ERA focuses on relevant data and regulatory decisions can be made with certainty. The document provides examples of risk scenarios and contextual factors to consider in ERA for GM cotton and canola. It stresses the importance of data quality, sufficiency and relevance for credible ERA conclusions.

The SEURAT project is a 7-year, 50 million Euro collaboration between the European Commission and Cosmetics Europe to develop non-animal approaches for repeated dose systemic toxicity testing. It involves over 70 research partners across 16 countries. The project aims to adopt a toxicological mode-of-action framework and use this knowledge to develop complementary in vitro and computational models that can predict toxicity endpoints needed for safety assessment. Key activities include developing genetically engineered cell lines, multi-scale models of organ toxicity, and an adverse outcome pathway knowledgebase to structure toxicity information. The models and data generated will be stored in online repositories to support regulatory safety evaluation.

2. Parasites compromise host fitness and bring damage to the host body.
Still, the parasite – host encounter is not just about hostility.
Over time and in a stable host environment, a parasite – host relationship tends to
become more intimate and the parasite more host specific.
Intimacy is about peaceful co-existence.
A shift from parasite to commensal!

6. - The 1990s form the peak of the so-called livestock revolution, characterised by rapid
growth of world animal protein production, featuring mass rearing of monoculture type
animals, enhanced feed conversion and rapid growth ->
FAOSTAT and literature sources.
- Livestock infection and disease data were drawn from the 1995 FAO/OIE/WHO Animal
Health Year Book, the last edition in a series that ran since 1955, just prior to the
introduction by OIE of a more real time and internet based animal health information
system.
- Selected are 34 viruses and 25 bacteria all causing a typical infection and disease in
world livestock, with one or more of the common livestock species acting as primary
host and with infection and transmission dynamics congruent with the Koch postulates.

Twofold hypothesis:
(i) Given enough time and in a stable host environment a parasite – host
relationship will become more intimate and the parasite more host specific,
moving towards peaceful coexistence with its long term host.
(ii) For microbial pathogens turning less parasitic and more of a commensal
this would entail an infection becoming both more persistent and benign.

- Host specificity, the inverted host range width
- Durability and benignity of infection as given by the infection plane
- Infection shifting from the outer- to the inner-body environment
- Reliant on vertical transmission, as opposite to horizontal
- Sensitive / vulnerable to the conditions prevailing outside the body
- Endemic form of disease, as opposed to epidemic
- Stable host environment; life cycle, open system and sexual contact
16. Main Findings
- A specialist virus causes a persistent, not necessarily benign, inner body infection
- This infection type is reflected in the transmission ecology and the type of host
environment
- A specialist virus is more likely to become transmitted directly from parent to
offspring, featuring hardly any virus shedding, if at all. The virus infects hosts species
that live sufficiently long for the sustenance of durable infections. The host is likely
to engage in reproductive behaviour.
- The Specialist – Generalist continuum runs diametrically through the infection plane,
with lots of hybrid infections
17. - The right bottom corner of the infection matrix is populated by virus infections in equine
+ bovine host, with infections transmitted sexually, vertically or also by bloodsucking
arthropods
- A diametrically opposite position in the infection plane is taken by highly pathogenic
generalist viruses in poultry and pigs, causing severe, often systemic, infections affecting
respiratory and/or enteric tract, with profuse virus shedding securing swift horizontal
transmission in monoculture type mass rearing units
- Small ruminant infections are intermediate to the specialist virus infections in equines /
bovines and the generalist virus infections in poultry and pigs
Findings cont’d
20. Infection plane based on infections caused by pathogenic livestock bacteria….
- Does not suggest a Specialist – Generalist continuum
- Livestock do not appear as a reservoir of persistent, benign, inner-body bacteria
- Severe fatal infections feature disease ecologies not always congruent with Koch’s postulates
- Bacterial livestock infections mainly affect the epithelia, are less intrusive than the obligate
intracellular viruses

Not all bacteria colonise the mucosal surface!
Specialist bacteria are found in two opposite directions in the pathogen ecology continuum:
Comparable to a specialist virus,
a specialist, intracellular
bacterium may cause a
persistent inner-body infection.
or, alternatively
Integrate in host friendly
biota in body cavities and tracts
or, also
display fitness related to the
environment external to the host body
Hence, two diametrically opposite pathogen evolutionary pathways!
23. Likewise, opportunistic bacteria may
colonise epithelia and cause generalised or ascending tract infections;
these concern the classical, contagious bacterial diseases
that disappeared from the modern livestock systems,
including CBPP, bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis,
infectious coryza, fowl typhoid, etc.
or, alternatively
produce novel bacterial extracellular substances and AMR related
challenges arising in the enteric tract environment of fast growing
poultry, pigs and beef cattle, and relevant in a VPH context
