| prevalence of antibodies to western equine encephalomyelitis and st. louis encephalitis viruses in residents of california exposed to sporadic and consistent enzootic transmission. | sera from outpatients attending county health department clinics in areas of california with consistent (imperial valley) and sporadic (sacramento valley) enzootic transmission of western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) and st. louis encephalitis (sle) viruses exhibited neutralizing antibody prevalence rates of 1.3% (n = 690) and 0.5% (n = 1,066) for wee and 11.0% and 0.8% for sle, respectively. seroprevalence for sle virus in imperial county increased as a function of both age and years of resid ... | 1997 | 9392590 |
| the u.s.-mexico border infectious disease surveillance project: establishing bi-national border surveillance. | in 1997, the centers for disease control and prevention, the mexican secretariat of health, and border health officials began the development of the border infectious disease surveillance (bids) project, a surveillance system for infectious diseases along the u.s.-mexico border. during a 3-year period, a binational team implemented an active, sentinel surveillance system for hepatitis and febrile exanthems at 13 clinical sites. the network developed surveillance protocols, trained nine surveilla ... | 2003 | 12533288 |
| surveillance for acute insecticide-related illness associated with mosquito-control efforts--nine states, 1999-2002. | ground and aerial applications of insecticides are used to control populations of adult mosquitoes, which spread such diseases as west nile virus--related illness, eastern equine encephalitis, and dengue fever. this report summarizes investigations of illnesses associated with exposures to insecticides used during 1999-2002 to control mosquito populations in nine states (arizona, california, florida, louisiana, michigan, new york, oregon, texas, and washington) (estimated 2000 population: 118 mi ... | 2003 | 12855943 |
| west nile virus disease and other arboviral diseases --- united states, 2010. | arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are transmitted to humans primarily through the bites of infected mosquitoes and ticks. since west nile virus (wnv) was first detected in the western hemisphere in 1999, it has become the leading cause of neuroinvasive arboviral disease in the united states. however, several other arboviruses continue to cause sporadic cases and seasonal outbreaks of neuroinvasive disease (i.e., meningitis, encephalitis, or acute flaccid paralysis). this report summarizes su ... | 2011 | 21814163 |
| the burden of dengue and chikungunya worldwide: implications for the southern united states and california. | dengue virus (denv) spreads to humans through the bite of an infected aedes aegypti or aedes albopictus mosquito and is a growing public health threat to both industrialized and developing nations worldwide. outbreaks of autochthonous dengue in the united states occurred extensively in the past but over the past 3 decades have again taken place in florida, hawaii, and texas as well as in american samoa, guam, northern mariana islands, puerto rico, and the us virgin islands. as the aedes vectors ... | 0 | 25960096 |
| public health response to aedes aegypti and ae. albopictus mosquitoes invading california, usa. | aedes aegypti and ae. albopictus mosquitoes, primary vectors of dengue and chikungunya viruses, were recently detected in california, usa. the threat of potential local transmission of these viruses increases as more infected travelers arrive from affected areas. public health response has included enhanced human and mosquito surveillance, education, and intensive mosquito control. | 0 | 26401891 |
| chikungunya fever in los angeles, california. | we report the case of a 33-year-old woman returning from haiti, presenting to our emergency department (ed) with fever, rash and arthralgia. following a broad workup that included laboratory testing for dengue and malaria, our patient was diagnosed with chikungunya virus, which was then reported to the centers for disease control and prevention for initiation of infection control. this case demonstrates the importance of the ed for infectious disease case identification and initiation of public ... | 2014 | 25493131 |
| origin of the dengue fever mosquito, aedes aegypti, in california. | dengue fever is among the most widespread vector-borne infectious diseases. the primary vector of dengue is the aedes aegypti mosquito. ae. aegypti is prevalent in the tropics and sub-tropics and is closely associated with human habitats outside its native range of africa. while long established in the southeastern united states of america where dengue is re-emerging, breeding populations have never been reported from california until the summer of 2013. using 12 highly variable microsatellite l ... | 2014 | 25077804 |
| west nile virus and other arboviral diseases--united states, 2012. | arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are transmitted to humans primarily through the bites of infected mosquitoes and ticks. west nile virus (wnv) is the leading cause of domestically acquired arboviral disease in the united states. however, several other arboviruses also cause sporadic cases and seasonal outbreaks of neuroinvasive disease (e.g., meningitis, encephalitis, and acute flaccid paralysis). in 2012, cdc received reports of 5,780 nationally notifiable arboviral disease cases (excludin ... | 2013 | 23803959 |
| multiple introductions of the dengue vector, aedes aegypti, into california. | the yellow fever mosquito aedes aegypti inhabits much of the tropical and subtropical world and is a primary vector of dengue, zika, and chikungunya viruses. breeding populations of a. aegypti were first reported in california (ca) in 2013. initial genetic analyses using 12 microsatellites on collections from northern ca in 2013 indicated the south central us region as the likely source of the introduction. we expanded genetic analyses of ca a. aegypti by: (a) examining additional northern ca sa ... | 2017 | 28796789 |
