  • Migration and Tuberculosis Transmission in A
    Pescarini et al. BMC Medicine (2018) 16:62 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-018-1055-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Migration and tuberculosis transmission in a middle-income country: a cross-sectional study in a central area of São Paulo, Brazil Julia Moreira Pescarini1,3*, Vera Simonsen2, Lucilaine Ferrazoli2, Laura C. Rodrigues3, Rosangela S. Oliveira2, Eliseu Alves Waldman1† and Rein Houben3,4† Abstract Background: Little is known about the impact of growing migration on the pattern of tuberculosis (TB) transmission in middle-income countries. We estimated TB recent transmission and its associated factors and investigated the presence of cross-transmission between South American migrants and Brazilians. Methods: We studied a convenient sample of cases of people with pulmonary TB in a central area of São Paulo, Brazil, diagnosed between 2013 and 2014. Cases with similar restriction fragment length polymorphism (IS6110- RFLP) patterns of their Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates were grouped in clusters (recent transmission). Clusters with both Brazilian and South American migrants were considered mixed (cross-transmission). Risk factors for recent transmission were studied using logistic regression. Results: Isolates from 347 cases were included, 76.7% from Brazilians and 23.3% from South American migrants. Fifty clusters were identified, which included 43% South American migrants and 60.2% Brazilians (odds ratio = 0.50, 95% confidence interval = 0.30–0.83). Twelve cross-transmission clusters were identified, involving 24.6% of all clustered cases and 13.8% of all genotyped cases, with migrants accounting for either an equal part or fewer cases in 11/12 mixed clusters. Conclusions: Our results suggest that TB disease following recent transmission is more common among Brazilians, especially among those belonging to high-risk groups, such as drug users.

  • CE122/14 (Eng.) 13 April 1998 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH
    122nd Session Washington, D.C. June 1998 Provisional Agenda Item 4.8 CE122/14 (Eng.) 13 April 1998 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH HANTAVIRUS Since 1993, when an outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome was detected for the first time in the southwestern United States of America, several outbreaks or sporadic cases have been notified in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Outbreaks of this disease produce high case-fatality rates and have aroused widespread fear in the affected communities and great concern among the national health authorities. In light of this situation, the 40th Directing Council of the Pan American Health Organization (September 1997) adopted a resolution (CD40.R14) calling on the Member States to strengthen the mechanisms for collaboration among the countries and promote information, education, and communication geared toward the community to ensure the adoption of good environmental sanitation practices. That same resolution requests the Secretariat to create a task force to issue recommendations on surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the infection. The task force met in March 1998 to review and approve the guidelines on hantavirus. This document summarizes the historical background and current epidemio- logical situation of hantavirus infection. It also reports on PAHO activities to date in this area and presents a proposal for ongoing activities. The Executive Committee is requested to review this document and to make recommendations on the progress of the surveillance and detection activities

  • Yellow Fever in Rio De Janeiro and the Pasteur Institute Mission (1901-1905): the Transfer of Science to the Periphery
    Medical History, 1990, 34: 144-163. YELLOW FEVER IN RIO DE JANEIRO AND THE PASTEUR INSTITUTE MISSION (1901-1905): THE TRANSFER OF SCIENCE TO THE PERIPHERY by ILANA LOWY * Science, a purely European enterprise, began to be exported to peripheral countries in the nineteenth century. The rapid expansion ofbacteriology is a striking example of this. But at the same time, the transformation of bacteriology into a well-established and codified scientific discipline hampered the diffusion ofbacteriological knowledge, because the laboratory practice that developed in peripheral countries in the first wave of enthusiasm for the "miracle-making" science often failed to conform to the discipline's new, more stringent professional standards. The problem was ofparticular importance in bacteriology, in whose birth the techniques which allowed appropriate visualization, isolation, and characterization ofmicro-organisms played a crucial role. Indeed, debates on technical aspects of bacteriological investigation were at the heart of early controversies in this field. The story ofthe search for the agent ofyellow fever in Rio de Janeiro illustrates this evolution ofbacteriology. In the 1880s and 90s numerous enthusiastic Latin American adepts ofthe new science started to look for the aetiological agents oftropical diseases. In Brazil, a favourite target of bacteriological studies was yellow fever. However, the efforts of many bacteriologists notwithstanding, both the epidemiology of the disease and the nature of its aetiological agent remained for long mysterious. There were a dozen or so triumphant announcements of the isolation of the "yellow fever germ" in the 1880s and 90s. Many of them came from physicians working in Rio de Janeiro, a city which suffered from regular outbreaks.

  • Spread” of Jungle Yellow Fever
    doi: 10.5216/rpt.v47i1.52274 OPINION ARTICLE THE ‘SPREAD” OF JUNGLE YELLOW FEVER Fernando Dias de Avila-Pires ABSTRACT The saga of yellow fever has been recounted by several science historians. It is a chronicle of errors, fight for recognition, historical mis-interpretations, and human experiments that would be unacceptable today. But it is also a record of forecasts that would be later confirmed by sound field work and through laboratory and clinical research. It is also an example of the contribution of local native lore to sound scientific discoveries. In this paper we try to demonstrate how we are advancing towards the natural foci of the jungle cycles of a zoonosis, not the reverse. KEY WORDS: Yellow fever; geographical distribution; epizootiology; epidemics. The saga of yellow fever has been recounted by several science historians and is now known in great detail. It is a chronicle of errors (Nogush, 1920), fight for recognition, historical mis-interpretations, and experiments that would be unacceptable today (Kelly, 1906; de Kruif, 1926; Delaporte, 1989). But it is also a record of forecasts that were to be confirmed by sound field work (Lutz, 1930) and laboratory and clinical research. It is also an example of the contribution of local lore to scientific discoveries (Balfour, 1914). The reader of this paper deserves to be spared tiresome repetitions. It is enough to recall that it arrived in Brazil, in the State of Pernambuco in the year of 1685, and in Rio de Janeiro, in 1894. A few references will be enough to introduce the subject of the present contribution to the knowledge of the jungle cycle of yellow fever in Brazil.

    Lorenz et al. Malar J (2015) 14:408 DOI 10.1186/s12936-015-0934-6 RESEARCH Open Access Spatial and temporal epidemiology of malaria in extra‑Amazonian regions of Brazil Camila Lorenz1,2*†, Flávia Virginio1,2†, Breno S. Aguiar4, Lincoln Suesdek1,2,3 and Francisco Chiaravalloti‑Neto4 Abstract Background: Mosquitoes, Plasmodium parasites, and humans live in sympatry in some extra-Amazonian regions of Brazil. Recent migrations of people from Amazonia and other countries to extra-Amazonian regions have led to many malaria outbreaks. Lack of relevant expertise among health professionals in non-endemic areas can lead to a neglect of the disease, which can be dangerous given its high fatality rate. Therefore, understanding the spatial and temporal epidemiology of malaria is essential for developing strategies for disease control and elimination. This study aimed to characterize imported (IMP) and autochthonous/introduced (AU/IN) cases in the extra-Amazonian regions and identify risk areas and groups. Methods: Epidemiological data collected between 2007 and 2014 were obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System of the Ministry of Health (SINAN) and from the Department of the Unified Health System (DATA‑ SUS). High malaria risk areas were determined using the Local Indicator of Spatial Association. IMP and AU/IN malaria incidence rates were corrected by Local Empirical Bayesian rates. Results: A total of 6092 malaria cases (IMP: 5416, 88.9 %; AU/IN: 676, 11.1 %) was recorded in the extra-Amazonian regions in 2007–2014. The highest numbers of IMP and AU/IN cases were registered in 2007 (n 862) and 2010 (n 149), respectively.
