  • Heartland and Bourbon Virus Testing Guideance for Healthcare Providers
    Heartland and Bourbon Virus Testing Guidance for Healthcare Providers Heartland virus is an RNA virus believed to be transmitted by the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum). Most patients reported tick exposure in the two weeks prior to illness onset. While no cases have been reported in Louisiana, this tick is found in Louisiana. First discovered as a cause of human illness in 2009 in Missouri, more than 40 cases have been reported from states in Midwestern and southern U.S. to date. Initial symptoms of Heartland virus disease are very similar to those of ehrlichiosis or anaplasmosis, which include fever, fatigue, anorexia, nausea and diarrhea. Cases have also had leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and mild to moderate elevation of liver transaminases. Heartland virus disease should be considered in patients being treated for ehrlichiosis who do not respond to treatment with doxycycline. For several years, CDC has been working under IRB-approved protocols to identify additional cases and validate diagnostic test for several novel pathogens. Now the CDC Arboviral Diseases Branch offers routine diagnostic testing for Heartland and Bourbon viruses (RT-PCR, IgM and IgG MIA, PRNT). There is no commercial testing available. Treatment of Heartland virus disease is supportive only. Many patients diagnosed with the disease have required hospitalization. With supportive care, most people have fully recovered; however, a few older individuals with medical comorbidities have died. The best way to prevent Heartland virus infection is to avoid exposure

  • Joint Statement on Insect Repellents by EPA And
    Joint Statement on Insect Repellents from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention July 17, 2014 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are recommending that the public use insect repellents and take other precautions to avoid biting insects that carry serious diseases. The incidence of these diseases is on the rise. This joint statement discusses diseases that are transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes, the role of government in vector control and disease prevention, the history of repellents, how to use repellents as part of an integrated control program, and how to select and use a repellent. Introduction and Purpose CDC and EPA developed this joint statement to promote awareness of repellents and to highlight the effectiveness of repellents in preventing mosquito and tick bites. The agencies believe that promoting the use of repellents may reduce the impact of diseases and nuisance effects caused by these pests. Vector-borne diseases, such as those transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks, are among the world's leading causes of illness and death today. A wide variety of arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, black flies, sand flies, horse flies, stable flies, kissing bugs, lice and mites, feed on human blood. Among these, mosquitoes and ticks transmit some of the most serious vector- borne diseases both globally and within the United States. Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes and Ticks Mosquito-transmitted West Nile virus caused over 36,000 disease cases and 1,500 deaths in the United States between 1999 and 2012 (CDC, 2012). Mosquitoes also transmit other viruses that cause severe disease in the United States, including La Crosse encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis and dengue.

They have replaced native 20 21 red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) throughout most of Britain, and cause damage to trees. Currently, lethal con- 21 22 trol is used to manage grey squirrel populations in Britain, but nonlethal methods might be more acceptable to 22 23 the public. One such method is contraception with 20,25-diazacholesterol dihydrochloride (DiazaConTM). Di- 23 24 azaConTM inhibits the conversion of desmosterol to cholesterol, resulting in increasing desmosterol concentra- 24 25 tions and decreasing cholesterol concentrations. Because cholesterol is needed for the synthesis of steroid repro- 25 26 ductive hormones, such as progesterone and testosterone, inhibition of cholesterol synthesis indirectly inhibits 26 27 reproduction. Desmosterol is used as a marker of efficacy in laboratory studies with species that do not repro- 27 28 duce readily in captivity.
