Clinical, epidemiological, and molecular investigation of Kyasanur forest disease from Karnataka state, India during 2018-2019

Ashok Munivenkatappa, Pragya D. Yadav, Rima R. Sahay, S. K. Kiran, Anita M. Shete, Deepak Y. Patil, Sreelekshmy Mohandas, Rajlaxmi Jain, Savita Patil, Diamond P. Sinha, Manjunatha M. Jayaswamy

Summary: This study investigated suspected human cases of Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) in Karnataka state, India from December 2018 to June 2019. It found endemicity of KFD in many districts and confirmed the presence of KFDV for the first time in two new districts, i.e. Hassan and Mysore. The study also analyzed the KFDV infection among vaccinated and non-vaccinated populations, finding insignificant differences.

Kyasanur Forest Disease, is our surveillance system healthy to prevent a larger outbreak? A mixed-method study, Shivamogga, Karnataka, India: 2019

Prashant Bhat, H. S. Jagadeesha, Mohan Kumar Raju, Sudheerchandra Sooda, K. Premanand, Ravi Kumar

Summary: The study evaluated the KFD surveillance system in Shivamogga and identified key issues such as lack of training, inadequate surveillance formats and data sharing practices, limited diagnostic capacity, outdated guidelines, and confusing surveillance perimeter. It is recommended that the system consider integrating a One Health approach, defining ownership of activities among stakeholders, and revising the guidelines.

Low mammalian species richness is associated with Kyasanur Forest disease outbreak risk in deforested landscapes in the Western Ghats, India

Michael G. Walsh, Rashmi Bhat, Venkatesh Nagarajan-Radha, Prakash Narayanan, Navya Vyas, Shailendra Sawleshwarkar, Chiranjay Mukhopadhyay

Summary: In the Western Ghats of South India, mammalian species richness and forest loss show strong positive associations with Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV) outbreaks, with forest loss substantially modifying the relationship between species richness and outbreaks. High species richness is linked to increased KFDV risk in areas with low forest loss, while lower species richness is associated with increased risk in areas of greater forest loss.

Retrospective Study of Kyasanur Forest Disease and Deaths among Nonhuman Primates, India, 1957-2020

Sulagna Chakraborty, William E. Sander, Brian F. Allan, Flavia C. D. Andrade

Summary: Kyasanur Forest disease (KFD) is a tickborne hemorrhagic disease that affects primates in the Western Ghats mountain range in India. A retrospective study found that at least 3,314 monkey deaths related to KFD were reported in endemic states in India from 1957 to 2020. These data can help in guiding surveillance efforts to protect animal and human health.

Predicting Kyasanur forest disease in resource-limited settings using event-based surveillance and transfer learning

Ravikiran Keshavamurthy, Lauren E. Charles

Summary: The spread of Kyasanur forest disease (KFD) to new regions and across state boundaries is a concerning issue in recent years. The lack of effective disease surveillance systems hinder control and prevention efforts. This study compared different time-series models and utilized additional information from news media reports and internet search trends to predict KFD cases. The inclusion of this additional data significantly improved prediction performance, and the XGB method produced the best predictions. Transfer Learning techniques also showed promise in predicting KFD cases in new outbreak regions where surveillance information was scarce.

Still New Chronic Q Fever Cases Diagnosed 8 Years After a Large Q Fever Outbreak

Sheila B. Buijs, Chantal P. Bleeker-Rovers, Sonja E. van Roeden, Linda M. Kampschreur, Andy I. M. Hoepelman, Peter C. Wever, Jan Jelrik Oosterheert

Summary: Chronic Q fever typically develops within 2 years after primary infection with Coxiella burnetii. However, the interval between acute Q fever and diagnosis of chronic infection can exceed 9 years. Complications related to chronic Q fever occurred in 41.6% of patients, with a mortality rate of 26.5%.

Genomic Investigation Reveals a Community Typhoid Outbreak Caused by Contaminated Drinking Water in China, 2016

Bing Hu, Peibin Hou, Lin Teng, Song Miao, Lijiang Zhao, Shengxiang Ji, Tao Li, Corinna Kehrenberg, Dianmin Kang, Min Yue

Summary: This study conducted a retrospective investigation into a community outbreak of typhoid fever in Lanling, China in 2016. The genomic analysis showed that the Salmonella Typhi isolate from drinking water was responsible for the outbreak, with a high similarity to the isolates from patients in terms of genomic content, virulence gene profiles, and antimicrobial resistance gene profiles. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed that these isolates were clonal variants. Furthermore, phylogeographical analysis suggested that the outbreak isolates were evolutionarily linked to isolates from the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Summary: The development of a needle-free injection system (NFIS) has addressed concerns about injection site pain, bloodborne pathogen transmission, and mass immunization. This study evaluated the efficacy of NFIS and needle injection system (NIS) for delivering the DNA vaccine candidate ZyCoV-D in rhesus macaques against SARS-CoV-2 infection. The results showed that the 2 mg dose delivered by NFIS induced significant IgG and neutralizing antibody titers, with further increases after virus challenge. NFIS also stimulated increased lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine response. This study demonstrated the efficiency of NFIS in delivering the 2 mg ZyCoV-D vaccine candidate.
