The Role of Disease Surveillance in the Watch for Agro-terrorism or Economic Sabotage FAS addresses these issues through public education and international collaboration. The project's operational arm, ILIAD-Tanzania , is a pilot test of a surveillance system designed for remote rural areas in developing or reorganizing countries. Eschewing passive surveillance in favor of a pro-active, response-oriented, continuously operating network that begins at the village level, this system offers the promise of timely and accurate disease detection, diagnosis, prevention, and control. As a fully collaborative program between veterinary service workers, local farmers, wildlife conservation personnel and local governments, it provides a logistical framework for treatment, education and outbreak reporting. It is anticipated that the program will, over time, alleviate poverty in remote villages by increasing livestock and poultry production, control zoonotic diseases in human populations, and prevent disease epidemics in wild animal populations.

As the name suggests, EEE occurs in the eastern half of the US. Because of the high case fatality rate, it is regarded as one of the more serious mosquito-borne diseases in the United States. TRANSMISSION: What is the EEE transmission cycle? How do people become infected with EEE virus? EEE virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Prober, MD VOL 103 / NO 3 / MARCH 1998 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the second of three articles on CNS Infections Preview : Encephalitis affects persons in all age-groups and can result from a myriad of infectious and noninfectious causes. Depending on the cause, the outcome may be benign or in some cases fatal. So where do you start in the process of paring down the diagnostic possibilities? Drs Gutierrez and Prober describe the key clinical features of this potentially life-threatening disease and recommend a comprehensive approach to diagnostic evaluation. E ncephalitis is an acute inflammatory process that affects brain tissue and is almost always accompanied by inflammation of the adjacent meninges. The disease is most commonly caused by viral infection. Encephalitis resulting from viral infection manifests as either acute viral encephalitis or postinfectious encephalomyelitis. Acute viral encephalitis is caused by direct viral infection of neural cells with associated perivascular inflammation and destruction of gray matter. Postinfectious encephalomyelitis follows infection with various viral or bacterial agents; the primary pathologic finding is demyelination of white matter. In the United States, the annual incidence of encephalitis is about 1 in 200,000. Children, the elderly, and immunocompromised persons are most commonly affected (1). Acute encephalitis is more common in the first year of life; in contrast, postinfectious encephalomyelitis is rare in infancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2), 717 cases of primary infectious encephalitis and 143 cases of post-infectious encephalomyelitis were reported in 1994; these numbers likely underestimate the true incidence of disease. Encephalitis was deleted from the list of nationally notifiable diseases in 1995.

NEW YORK (AP) Health officials said they had found no evidence of a feared outbreak of viral encephalitis on Staten Island in New York, but would continue investigating the cause of illness in five people. On Saturday, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said it was concerned about an outbreak of the potentially deadly illness after five people were hospitalized with symptoms consistent with encephalitis, an inflammation of brain tissue. One of those people was released from the hospital, and two others were found to have underlying health conditions that explained their illnesses. The two remaining patients were still in critical condition Sunday with encephalitis-like symptoms. The cause of their illnesses hadn't been determined, and it was unknown if their cases were related. Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden said the health department would continue to examine the illnesses in search of an explanation, but he ruled out the possibility of an outbreak.

Extractions: Web posted at: 10:24 a.m. EDT (1424 GMT) From staff and wires reports NEW YORK (CNN) Health officials have identified a strain of encephalitis never before seen in the Western Hemisphere in several bird specimens found in the metropolitan New York area. The discovery of this new strain, known as the West Nile virus, has raised questions about whether 18 recently reported cases of encephalitis stem from the St. Louis variety of the virus or the new one. The West Nile virus is an arbovirus closely related to the St. Louis encephalitis, but usually causes a milder form of the disease in humans. Both viruses are transmitted through the bite of a mosquito infected by feeding on an infected bird.
