“…However, Cape Verde has reported an outbreak and several cases were recently found in Guinea-Bissau (both due to ZIKV of the Asian lineage) in 2015–2016. Occasional studies or reports show that ZIKV AF strains are currently circulating and support the need to closely monitor ZIKV AF (Baraka and Kweka, 2016, Grard et al, 2014, Van Esbroeck et al, 2016). …”

“…While most of the focus has been directed to Asian ZIKV strains or to African MR-766, much less effort has been undertaken to monitor potential circulating ZIKV of the African lineage (Grard et al, 2014, Baraka and Kweka, 2016, Meda et al, 2016). In this context, there is an urgent need to have clear understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in infection by African ZIKV, in particular in terms of neurovirulence.…”

Zika Virus Strains Potentially Display Different Infectious Profiles in Human Neural Cells

The recent Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic has highlighted the poor knowledge on its physiopathology. Recent studies showed that ZIKV of the Asian lineage, responsible for this international outbreak, causes neuropathology in vitro and in vivo. However, two African lineages exist and the virus is currently found circulating in Africa. The original African strain was also suggested to be neurovirulent but its laboratory usage has been criticized due to its multiple passages. In this study, we compared the French Polynesian (Asian) ZIKV strain to an African strain isolated in Central African Republic and show a difference in infectivity and cellular response between both strains in human neural stem cells and astrocytes. Consistently, this African strain led to a higher infection rate and viral production, as well as stronger cell death and anti-viral response. Our results highlight the need to better characterize the physiopathology and predict neurological impairment associated with African ZIKV.

“…The three models implemented are imperfect estimates of pesticide burden, as they neither consider synergistic or antagonistic interactions among products nor the ability of bees to detoxify products. The calculations also only included the 171 products we tested and that occurred at levels above the limit of detection ( Table S1 ), and does not account for adjuvants 47 48 and other products not included in the screening (such as glyphosate, which requires a separate, costly analysis). Further, our first model—the simple sum of detected products—completely ignores the central tenant of toxicology: the dose makes the poison 49 50 .…”

This study measured part of the in-hive pesticide exposome by analyzing residues from live in-hive bees, stored pollen, and wax in migratory colonies over time and compared exposure to colony health. We summarized the pesticide burden using three different additive methods: (1) the hazard quotient (HQ), an estimate of pesticide exposure risk, (2) the total number of pesticide residues, and (3) the number of relevant residues. Despite being simplistic, these models attempt to summarize potential risk from multiple contaminations in real-world contexts. Colonies performing pollination services were subject to increased pesticide exposure compared to honey-production and holding yards. We found clear links between an increase in the total number of products in wax and colony mortality. In particular, we found that fungicides with particular modes of action increased disproportionally in wax within colonies that died. The occurrence of queen events, a significant risk factor for colony health and productivity, was positively associated with all three proxies of pesticide exposure. While our exposome summation models do not fully capture the complexities of pesticide exposure, they nonetheless help elucidate their risks to colony health. Implementing and improving such models can help identify potential pesticide risks, permitting preventative actions to improve pollinator health.

“…22,23 Among the respondents of the most recent survey, thirteen reported that they decided not to pursue accreditation. The top three most common reasons for this were: (1) accreditation standards exceeded the capacity of the LHD, (2) fees for accreditation were too high, and (3) time and effort required for accreditation application exceeded the benefit of accreditation.…”

Context A national system of voluntary public health accreditation for state, local and tribal health departments (LHD) is part of a movement that aims to improve public health performance with ultimate impact on population health outcomes. Indiana is a good setting for the study of LHD accreditation adoption because several LHDs reported de-adopting accreditation in a recent statewide survey, and because 71% of Indiana counties serve populations of ≤ 50,000. Design A systematic method of analyzing qualitative data based on the performance improvement model (PIM) framework to expand our understanding of de-adoption of public health accreditation. Setting/Participants In 2015, we conducted a key informant interview study of the three LHDs that decided to delay their engagement in the accreditation based on findings from an Indiana survey on LHD accreditation adoption. The study is an exploration of LHD accreditation de-adoption, and of the contributions made to its understanding by the Performance Improvement Model (PIM). Result The study found that top management team members are those who champion accreditation adoption, and that organizational structure and culture facilitate the staff’s embracing of the change. The PIM was found to enhance the elucidation of the inner domain elements of CFIR in the context of de-adoption of public health accreditation. Conclusion Governing entities’ policies & priorities appear to mediate whether the LHDs are able to continue accreditation pursuit. Lacking any of these driving forces appears to be associated with decisions to de-adoption of accreditation. Further work is necessary to discern specific elements mediating decisions to pursue accreditation.
