  Bending the epidemic curve: advancements and opportunities to reduce the threat of emerging pathogens

summary:
  These, and indeed the great majority of emerging disease threats, are zoonotic and require us to consider other hosts and the environment in addressing them. Outbreaks of re-emerging infectious diseases in high-income countries are also discussed, often implicating products imported across borders as well as trans-national spread due to as yet unknown causes.

  Sentinel surveillance strategies for early detection of coronavirus disease in fever clinics: experience from China

summary:
  Therefore, patients with a normal body temperature (oral temperature <37.3°C) but with respiratory symptoms and underlying disease; as well as those with an epidemiological history, including a history of travel to epidemic areas and contact with COVID-19 patients are recommended to visit fever clinics. To efficiently and effectively control the epidemic and to minimise its negative economic impact, rapid screening and immediate isolation of suspected COVID-19 cases in fever clinics was important.

summary:
  The R(0) of COVID-19 was estimated using the serial interval distribution and the number of incidence cases. The aim of this study was to estimate the basic reproduction number (R(0)) of COVID-19 in the early stage of the epidemic and predict the expected number of new cases in Shahroud in Northeastern Iran.

summary:
  Prevalence rates of anti-HEV antibodies in camels and in human sera were calculated by dividing the number of samples positive to anti-HEV antibodies by the total number of samples tested in each group. We studied HEV seroprevalence in dromedary camels and among Bedouins, Arabs (Muslims, none-Bedouins) and Jews and assessed factors associated with anti-HEV seropositivity.

  [26] , the NLR was significantly higher in severe patients, when compared to non-severe patients, at all time points after hospital admission, and the NLR was positively correlated with hospitalisation time from day 5 after admission. [4] reported that severe cases are likely to have higher NLRs caused by the higher neutrophil counts, but these cases would have lower lymphocyte counts, when compared to non-severe patients, indicating that the surveillance of NLRs might be helpful for the early screening of the critical illness of COVID-19.

summary:
  Additionally, it appears Iran has exported COVID-19 cases to at least 12 other countries including Bahrain, Kuwait and Lebanon that had not reported importing cases from China or other countries by the end of February 2020 We hypothesised that countries with higher GHSI or JEE scores would have detected their first COVID-19 case earlier, and would experience lower mortality outcome compared to countries with lower scores.

summary:
  A retrospective cohort of COVID-19 patients from four hospitals in three provinces in China was established, and 598 patients were included from 1 January to 8 March 2020, and divided into moderate, severe and critical illness group.

summary:
  The absence of apparent seasonality in the identified clusters further supports the significant role humanto-human transmission in healthcare settings plays in the propagation of MERS-CoV. Classification of each cluster into one or more of the three disease transmission categories (nosocomial, household, or exported) elucidated common characteristics among the clusters, including the overall concentration of case clusters in cities and healthcare institutions. Of the 51 identified clusters, 41 (80·4%) were classified as nosocomial clusters; 12 (23·5%) were household clusters; and eight (15·7%) were exported (Table 3 ).

  Our findings, from a population consisting of crowded households, lower levels of maternal education and fewer children attending school compared to other household transmission studies, suggest that differences in socio-demographic, cultural and environmental contexts influence household transmission risk factors, including the source of household introduction. In a prospective longitudinal study utilizing intensive weekly home-based active surveillance to evaluate the household transmission of nine respiratory viruses in rural South Asia, initial infection in young children was associated with the greatest risk of symptomatic respiratory virus household transmission with spread to infants occurring in 45% of transmission events.
