| multistate surveillance for food-handling, preparation, and consumption behaviors associated with foodborne diseases: 1995 and 1996 brfss food-safety questions. | in 1995, cdc, the food and drug administration (fda), and several state health departments collaboratively developed questions regarding food safety. this set of questions was used to collect data about food-handling, preparation, and consumption behaviors that have been associated with foodborne diseases in adults. these data will help characterize persons at high risk for foodborne illness and assist in developing food-safety education strategies for consumers and foodhandlers that are intende ... | 1998 | 9750563 |
| a multi-state survey of consumer food-handling and food-consumption practices. | in the united states, foodborne infections cause an estimated 6.5-33 million illnesses a year. also included in the burden of foodborne illnesses are sequelae such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, guillain-barré syndrome, and reactive arthritis. surveillance for risky food-handling and food-consumption practices can be used to identify high-risk populations, develop educational efforts, and evaluate progress toward risk reduction. | 1999 | 10198661 |
| a study of post-traumatic shingles as a work related injury. | background: after chicken pox, the herpes varicella-zoster (hvz) virus may remain dormant in the dorsal root ganglion until later reactivation causes shingles, characterized by painful dysesthesias and cutaneous vesicular eruptions along a unilateral dermatome. shingles as a work-related injury has not been previously addressed in the medical literature. case history we present a 50-year old female hospital employee who, while working, sustained an acute, traumatic hyperextension injury to her r ... | 2000 | 10861772 |
| update: west nile virus activity--eastern united states, 2000. | data reported to cdc through the west nile virus (wnv) surveillance system have shown an increase in the geographic range of wnv activity in 2000 compared with 1999, the first year that wnv was reported in the western hemisphere. in response to this occurrence of wnv, 17 states along the atlantic and gulf coasts, new york city, and the district of columbia conducted wnv surveillance, which included monitoring mosquitoes, sentinel chicken flocks, wild birds, and potentially susceptible mammals (e ... | 2000 | 11105767 |
| epidemiologic and surveillance studies on avian influenza in live-bird markets in new york and new jersey, 2001. | in 2001, all 109 retail live-bird markets (lbms) in new york and new jersey were surveyed for the presence of avian influenza virus (aiv) by a real time reverse transcriptase/polymer chain reaction assay (rrt/pcr) and results compared to virus isolation (vi) in embryonating chicken eggs. the rrt/pcr had a 91.9% sensitivity and 97.9% specificity in detecting presence of aiv at the market level. however, the sensitivity at the sample level is 65.87%. the rrt/pcr is a reliable method to identify ai ... | 2003 | 14575100 |
| epidemiology, production losses, and control measures associated with an outbreak of avian influenza subtype h7n2 in pennsylvania (1996-98). | an outbreak of h7n2 low-pathogenicity (lp) avian influenza (ai) occurred in a two-county area in pennsylvania from december of 1996 through april of 1998. the outbreak resulted in infection of 2,623,116 commercial birds on 25 premises encompassing 47 flocks. twenty-one (one premise with infection twice) of the twenty-five infected premises housed egg-laying chickens and one premise each had turkeys, layer pullets, quail, and a mixed backyard dealer flock. despite dose proximity of infected flock ... | 2003 | 14575105 |
| descriptive and surveillance studies of suppliers to new york and new jersey retail live-bird markets. | low pathogenicity avian influenza virus (aiv) h7n2 has been isolated since 1994 from retail live-bird markets (lbms) in the northeastern united states. this study examines the suppliers to the lbms in new york and new jersey. in 2001, 185 supplier premises in nine states were surveyed for the presence of aiv by virus isolation (vi) in embryonating chicken eggs. no h7 or h5 virus was isolated. in addition, 104 producer premises in two states were serologically negative for h7 and h5 aiv. informat ... | 2003 | 14575136 |

| influenza in migratory birds and evidence of limited intercontinental virus exchange. | migratory waterfowl of the world are the natural reservoirs of influenza viruses of all known subtypes. however, it is unknown whether these waterfowl perpetuate highly pathogenic (hp) h5 and h7 avian influenza viruses. here we report influenza virus surveillance from 2001 to 2006 in wild ducks in alberta, canada, and in shorebirds and gulls at delaware bay (new jersey), united states, and examine the frequency of exchange of influenza viruses between the eurasian and american virus clades, or s ... | 2007 | 17997603 |
| avian paramyxoviruses in shorebirds and gulls. | there are nine serotypes of avian paramyxovirus (apmv), including apmv-1, or newcastle disease virus. although free-flying ducks and geese have been extensively monitored for apmv, limited information is available for species in the order charadriiformes. from 2000 to 2005 we tested cloacal swabs from 9,128 shorebirds and gulls (33 species, five families) captured in 10 states within the usa and in three countries in the caribbean and south america. avian paramyxoviruses were isolated from 60 (0 ... | 2010 | 20688640 |
| child and adolescent fast-food choice and the influence of calorie labeling: a natural experiment. | obesity is an enormous public health problem and children have been particularly highlighted for intervention. of notable concern is the fast-food consumption of children . however, we know very little about how children or their parents make fast-food choices, including how they respond to mandatory calorie labeling. we examined children's and adolescents' fast-food choice and the influence of calorie labels in low-income communities in new york city (nyc) and in a comparison city (newark, nj). | 2011 | 21326209 |
| are passerine birds reservoirs for influenza a viruses? | abstract although peridomestic passerine species have been involved in influenza a virus (iav) outbreaks in poultry, there is little evidence to indicate they serve as reservoirs for these viruses under natural conditions. recent molecular-based detections of iav in terrestrial wild birds have challenged this paradigm, and it has been suggested that additional research is warranted to better define the role of these birds as iav hosts. to address this need, we reviewed the published literature r ... | 2014 | 25121402 |
| creating student sleuths: how a team of graduate students helped solve an outbreak of salmonella heidelberg infections associated with kosher broiled chicken livers. | since 2009, the new york city department of health and mental hygiene (dohmh) has received foodcore funding to hire graduate students to conduct in-depth food exposure interviews of salmonellosis case patients. in 2011, an increase in the number of salmonella heidelberg infections with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis xba i pattern jf6x01.0022 among observant jewish communities in new york and new jersey was investigated. as this pattern is common nationwide, some cases identified were not assoc ... | 2014 | 25198602 |
