  • Official Nh Dhhs Health Alert
    THIS IS AN OFFICIAL NH DHHS HEALTH ALERT Distributed by the NH Health Alert Network [email protected] May 18, 2018, 1300 EDT (1:00 PM EDT) NH-HAN 20180518 Tickborne Diseases in New Hampshire Key Points and Recommendations: 1. Blacklegged ticks transmit at least five different infections in New Hampshire (NH): Lyme disease, Anaplasma, Babesia, Powassan virus, and Borrelia miyamotoi. 2. NH has one of the highest rates of Lyme disease in the nation, and 50-60% of blacklegged ticks sampled from across NH have been found to be infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. 3. NH has experienced a significant increase in human cases of anaplasmosis, with cases more than doubling from 2016 to 2017. The reason for the increase is unknown at this time. 4. The number of new cases of babesiosis also increased in 2017; because Babesia can be transmitted through blood transfusions in addition to tick bites, providers should ask patients with suspected babesiosis whether they have donated blood or received a blood transfusion. 5. Powassan is a newer tickborne disease which has been identified in three NH residents during past seasons in 2013, 2016 and 2017. While uncommon, Powassan can cause a debilitating neurological illness, so providers should maintain an index of suspicion for patients presenting with an unexplained meningoencephalitis. 6. Borrelia miyamotoi infection usually presents with a nonspecific febrile illness similar to other tickborne diseases like anaplasmosis, and has recently been identified in one NH resident. Tests for Lyme disease do not reliably detect Borrelia miyamotoi, so providers should consider specific testing for Borrelia miyamotoi (see Attachment 1) and other pathogens if testing for Lyme disease is negative but a tickborne disease is still suspected.

Coxiella burnetii, is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium, adapted to thrive within the phagolysosome of the phagocyte. Humans become infected primarily by inhaling aerosols that are contaminated with C. burnetii. Ingestion (particularly drinking raw milk) and person-to-person transmission are minor routes. Animals shed the bacterium in urine and feces, and in very high concentrations in birth by-products. The bacterium persists in the environment in a resistant spore-like form which may become airborne and transported long distances by the wind. It is considered primarily as occupational disease of workers in close contact with farm animals or processing their be commenced immediately whenever Q fever is suspected.

  • Zoonotic Diseases of Public Health Importance
    ZOONOTIC DISEASES OF PUBLIC HEALTH IMPORTANCE ZOONOSIS DIVISION NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF HEALTH SERVICES) 22 – SHAM NATH MARG, DELHI – 110 054 2005 List of contributors: Dr. Shiv Lal, Addl. DG & Director Dr. Veena Mittal, Joint Director & HOD, Zoonosis Division Dr. Dipesh Bhattacharya, Joint Director, Zoonosis Division Dr. U.V.S. Rana, Joint Director, Zoonosis Division Dr. Mala Chhabra, Deputy Director, Zoonosis Division FOREWORD Several zoonotic diseases are major public health problems not only in India but also in different parts of the world. Some of them have been plaguing mankind from time immemorial and some have emerged as major problems in recent times. Diseases like plague, Japanese encephalitis, leishmaniasis, rabies, leptospirosis and dengue fever etc. have been major public health concerns in India and are considered important because of large human morbidity and mortality from these diseases. During 1994 India had an outbreak of plague in man in Surat (Gujarat) and Beed (Maharashtra) after a lapse of around 3 decades. Again after 8 years in 2002, an outbreak of pneumonic plague occurred in Himachal Pradesh followed by outbreak of bubonic plague in 2004 in Uttaranchal. Japanese encephalitis has emerged as a major problem in several states and every year several outbreaks of Japanese encephalitis are reported from different parts of the country. Resurgence of Kala-azar in mid seventies in Bihar, West Bengal and Jharkhand still continues to be a major public health concern. Efforts are being made to initiate kala-azar elimination programme by the year 2010. Rabies continues to be an important killer in the country.
