Conclusions Our study indicates a substantial hospitalization burden associated with non-severe HFMD in a rural county in southern China. Future mitigation policies should take into account the disease burden identified, and optimize interventions for HFMD. Introduction Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease that mainly affects children below 5 years of age [1]. HFMD is caused by multiple serotypes of Enterovirus species A, among which enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) are the most fre- quently detected [2]. EV-A71 is of particular concern as it can cause neurological and systemic complications, and even fatal outcomes [2±4]. Coxsackie virus A6 (CV-A6) and Coxsackie virus A10 (CV-A10) have become more prevalent among HFMD outbreaks, with their re- emergence first identified in HFMD cases in Europe and Singapore between 2008 and 2011 [5±8]. These serotypes are also responsible for a considerable proportion of cases of HFMD in China since 2013 [9, 10]. Severe complications associated with CV-A6 and CV-A10 have also been reported [11, 12]. Currently, no specific antiviral treatments are available for HFMD. Three inactivated monovalent EV-A71 vaccines have been licensed in mainland China, with high efficacy (90.0%-97.4%) against EV-A71-HFMD, but no cross-protection against other enterovirus serotype-associated HFMD [13, 14]. Bivalent and multivalent enterovirus vaccines are under development [15, 16]. Since 1997, HFMD has widely spread across Asia, including Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China [1, 2, 4, 17±21]. Understanding the age and serotype-specific burden of HFMD, including the hospitalization burden, is valuable in informing healthcare systems, vaccine strategies and other intervention policies. However, the hospitalization bur- den of HFMD has not been thoroughly studied in a well-defined catchment population. Indi- rect estimates of hospitalization rates of HFMD are hampered by limited availability of population-level incidence and unknown hospitalization rates among HFMD cases, however, population-level incidences of HFMD have been estimated in Japan [22], Singapore [23], Malaysia [24], and China [2, 25]. These estimates were based on notifiable surveillance data, which may underestimate the true prevalence. The risk of hospitalization for HFMD varied between 1.3% and 24.3% [26±30], possibly due to patients with distinct severity and different causative serotypes of enterovirus in different studies. The number of people that were included in these studies ranged from 6,027 to 1,081,046 [26±30]. Additionally, there is an increasing threat of enterovirus serotypes of non-EV-A71 among both mild and severe HFMD [7, 11, 25]. Therefore, the specific hospitalization burden of HFMD caused by CV-A6, CV-A10, CV-A16 and other enterovirus serotypes requires further assessment. We aim to estimate population level hospitalization rates of HFMD by age and enterovirus serotype in a well-defined catchment population in China, between October 2013 and Septem- ber 2016. PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0203792 December 13, 2018 2 / 15 Hospitalization rates of HFMD in Southern China Methods Study setting This study was conducted in Anhua County, Yiyang Prefecture, Hunan Province, China [31]. The total population residing in Anhua County was 1,017,463 according to the 2015 census [32]. A total of 165,050 (16%) of the population were children aged <15 years, and of these 61,123 (6%) were aged <5 years [32]. During the study period, there were three county-level hospitals and 23 township-level hospitals in Anhua County where HFMD patients were admit- ted. According to vaccination records, the EV-A71 vaccine was initiated in Anhua County on July 10, 2016. Case definitions A probable case of HFMD was defined as a patient with a rash on their hands, feet, limbs or buttocks, ulcers or vesicles in the mouth, with or without fever. A lab-confirmed case was defined as a probable case with laboratory evidence of enterovirus infection in specimens of stool, rectal swab or throat swab, detected by real-time RT-PCR (reverse transcription-poly- merase chain reaction) or nested RT-PCR. Hospitalized patients were defined as patients admitted to hospital for a period of at least 24 hours. Virological surveillance of HFMD Virological surveillance of HFMD was conducted among six hospitals, including three county- level hospitals and three township-level hospitals between October 2013 and September 2016. The six hospitals selected admitted 87% of the reported HFMD patients from Anhua County during 2010±2012. The methods of virological surveillance have been described elsewhere [31]. Briefly, pediatric patients (aged 0±14 years) who were hospitalized for HFMD, were enrolled after their parents/legal guardians provided verbal consent. Throat swabs and stool samples (rectal swab instead if stool samples were unavailable), were collected within 24 hours of enrollment. A standardized form was used to collect data, including basic demographic information, date of illness onset, types of samples (stool, throat swab, or rectal swab), any complications, and clinical outcome. Swabs were immediately placed in viral transport mediums, and all samples were stored at -70ÊC until testing. Viral RNA was extracted using QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). RNA from each sample was tested with generic primers and probes target- ing pan-enterovirus conserved regions, and serotype specific primers and probes targeting EV-A71, CV-A16, and CV-A6 (S1 Table). Where a sample tested positive in the generic, but negative in the specific RT-PCRs, nested RT-PCRs were used to amplify VP1 regions.

It argues that women’s work in imperial China took on different meanings as ecological settings, economic resources, and social class shifted. The very commodity—tea—that these women produced also shaped portrayals of their labor, turning them into romantic objects and targets of gossip. But women tea-pickers also appeared as good women with moral dignity, suggesting the fundamental importance of industry and diligence as female virtues in imperial China. n imperial China, “men plow and women weave” (nangeng nüzhi) stood I as a canonical gender division of labor. Under this model, a man’s work place was in the fields: he cultivated the land and tended the crops, grow- ing food; a woman labored at home, where she sat at her spindle and loom, making cloth.

Rogier van Doorn • Hongjie Yu Received: 12 November 2019 / Accepted: 6 July 2020 Ó Wuhan Institute of Virology, CAS 2020 Abstract Enteroviruses (EVs) species A are a major public health issue in the Asia–Pacific region and cause frequent epidemics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in China. Mild infections are common in children; however, HFMD can also cause severe illness that affects the central nervous system. To molecularly characterize EVs, a prospective HFMD virological surveillance program was performed in China between 2013 and 2016. Throat swabs, rectal swabs and stool samples were collected from suspected HFMD patients at participating hospitals. EVs were detected using generic real-time and nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCRs). Then, the complete VP1 regions of enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) and CVA6 were sequenced to analyze amino acid changes and construct a viral molecular phylogeny. Of the 2836 enrolled HFMD patients, 2,517 (89%) were EV positive. The most frequently detected EVs were CVA16 (32.5%, 819), CVA6 (31.2%, 785), and EV-A71 (20.4%, 514).

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Agriculture and Agricultural Science Procedia 1 (2010) 24–32 International Conference on Agricultural Risk and Food Security 2010 Natural Disaster Risk Assessment of Grain Production in Dongting Lake Area, China Laiyuan Zhonga,b, Liming Liua*, Yabing Liua aDepartment of Land Resources Management, College of Resources and Environment, China Agricultural University, bCollege of Agronomy, Guangdong Ocean University. Zhanjiang, 524088, China Abstract Dongting Lake area is one of the primary commodity grain bases in China, while the grain production there is suffering from serious harm of natural disaster such as flood, drought, pests and mouse damage. In general, the historical data recorded of natural disasters in small region are not enough to be used for estimating the probability distribution in risk assessment, because the size of the sample observed is smal1. In this study, the method “Information Diffusion” is used to change limited sample observations into fuzzy sets, and a quantitative analyzing model for natural disasters risk assessment is proposed. Based on the statistical data of grain planting area and hazard area during the period of 1986-2006 in Dongting Lake area, the probability of natural disaster risk of grain production was calculated by using the Information Diffusion Theory in each county. The results showed that the probabilities of natural disaster risk of the area hazard ratio (AHR) of grain production over 10% , 20%, 30%, 40% were between 0.3576̚0.9344, 0.0880̚0.8618, 0.0080̚0.7757, 0̚0.6569 respectively in different county. Meanwhile, the natural disaster risk assessment maps of grain production were obtained based on GIS.
