2 Annual reports of OIE Reference Centres, 2013


EPIDEMIOLOGY, SURVEILLANCE, RISK ASSESSMENT, MODELLING


MicrobNet MicrobeNet, a reference database for infectious pathogens, was released on January 1, 2013. It enables multiple analyses of a new or rapidly emerging pathogen and reduces reporting time. Laboratory scientists throughout the world can run diagnostic tests and match results against unique or rare isolates in CDC’s reference collections.

ArboNET ArboNET is a network for mosquito-borne disease detection, prevention, and control. ArboNET funding assists states, Puerto Rico, and six large municipalities to conduct case investigations, field collections, and analyses and submission of information to rapidly monitor and respond to potential epidemic conditions.

TickNET TickNET works with state health departments to optimize surveillance and prevention activities for bacterial tick-borne diseases, such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. A study of the effectiveness of home pesticide use is under way through TickNET, addressing critical questions about the prevention of Lyme disease.

CryptoNet Began pilot testing for CryptoNet, the first state-based molecular tracking system for a parasitic infection, cryptosporidiosis. CryptoNet will help us better understand the spread of cryptosporidiosis in the United States.

Expand surveillance in-country for viral hemorrhagic fever

Enabled the rapid diagnosis of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Uganda by expanding surveillance in-country for viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF)— a group of diseases that include Ebola and Marburg hemorrhagic fevers. The expanded program included assigning a staff member to the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI), providing training for case recognition and management for health professionals, providing reagents and training for diagnostic testing, and completing renovation of the VHF diagnostic laboratory at UVRI.

Released the report, “Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2013”

FOOD SAFETY


Estimates of food sources associated with foodborne illness

In January 2013, published the first-ever estimates of food sources associated with foodborne illnesses in the United States. Produce, including leafy green and vine-stalk vegetables as well as fruits and nuts, accounts for about half of all foodborne illness, with norovirus being the most common cause. The analysis also showed that meat and poultry are the food sources most often linked to deaths caused by food poisoning, mostly due to Salmonella and Listeria.
