The plague that afflicts humans is terrible and very vicious. Few people who are affected as carriers and who are affected by the outbreak quarantine themselves during the outbreak of the disease. In this regard, Allah has explained in the Qur'an regarding it. The scholars of interpretation in understanding the relationship between quarantine and epidemics can be studied to describe the view of commentators in understanding the relationship between quarantine and disease outbreaks, as well as the relevance of the relationship between quarantine and epidemics in the Qur'an and science to gain a strong understanding in the Qur'an. and science. The relationship between health quarantine and disease outbreaks can be seen in 2 ways: first, through an interpretation which tells about quarantine and epidemics that can become ibrah, and second, through Asbab an-Nuzul Verse in which there is iradah kawniyah which can be understood by Allah commanding us. to self-quarantine. The relevance of the interpretation of the quarantine relationship and the epidemic can be viewed from the purpose of quarantine and quarantine techniques and quarantine history, after observing and spreading the disease, quarantine can be carried out with several types of quarantine.

Introduction: The greatest enemy of a global pandemic is not the virus itself, but the fear, rumor, and stigma that envelopes people. This article explores the context and history of fear and stigma relating to pandemic, summarizing key actions to mitigate the harms during an active pandemic.Method: Our article draws from accounts in literature and journalist accounts documenting the relationship between infectious diseases and major disease outbreaks that have garnered fear and stigmatization. Results: Fear, stigma, and discrimination are not new concepts for pandemics. These social effects run the risk of diverting attention from the presenting disease and government responses. Reactions to fear, stigma, and discrimination risk sabotaging effective efforts to contain, manage, and eradicate the disease.Conclusion: Emergency managers have an important role in dispelling myths, disseminating appropriate and evidence-based information without exacerbating fears. Knowledge about the roots of fear and bias along with a good understanding of historical plagues and pandemics is vital to ensure those in the field of emergency management can effectively manage irrational fears.

Vaccines are important in preventing disease outbreaks and controlling the spread of disease in a population. A variety of vaccines exist, including subunit, recombinant, and conjugate vaccines. Glycoconjugate vaccines have been an important tool to fight against diseases caused by a number of bacteria. Glycoconjugate vaccines are often heterogeneous. Vaccines of the future are becoming more rationally designed to have a defined oligosaccharide chain length and position of conjugation. Homogenous vaccines could play an important role in assessing the relationship between vaccine structure and immune response. This review focuses on recent advances in the chemoenzymatic production of defined bacterial oligosaccharides for vaccine development with a focus on Neisseria meningitidis and selected WHO-prioritized antibacterial resistant-pathogens. We also provide some perspective on future advances in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of well-defined oligosaccharides.

AbstractFlood frequency is expected to increase across the globe with climate change. Understanding the relationship between flooding and arboviral disease can reduce disease risk and associated costs. South-eastern Australia is dominated by the flood-prone Murray-Darling River system where the incidence of Australia’s most common arboviral disease, Ross River virus (RRV), is high. This study aimed to determine the relationship between riverine flooding and RRV disease outbreaks in inland south-eastern Australia, specifically New South Wales (NSW). Each study month from 1991 to 2013, for each of 37 local government areas (LGAs) was assigned ‘outbreak/non-outbreak’ status based on long-term trimmed-average age-standardized RRV notification rates and ‘flood/non-flood’ status based on riverine overflow. LGAs were grouped into eight climate zones with the relationship between flood and RRV outbreak modeled using generalized estimating equations. Modeling adjusted for rainfall in the previous 1–3 mo. Spring–summer flooding increased the odds of summer RRV outbreaks in three climate zones before and after adjusting for rainfall 1, 2, and 3 mo prior to the outbreak. Flooding at any time of the year was not predictive of RRV outbreaks in the remaining five climate zones. Predicting RRV disease outbreaks with flood events can assist with more targeted mosquito spraying programs, thereby reducing disease transmission and mosquito resistance.

Flooding can potentially increase the spread of infectious diseases. To enhance good understanding of the health consequences of flooding and facilitate planning for mitigation strategies, deeper consideration of the relationship between flooding and out-break of infectious diseases is required. This paper examines the relationship between occurrence of floods in Kenya and outbreak of infectious diseases and possible interventions. This review intended to build up the quality and comprehensiveness of evidence on infectious diseases arising after flooding incidence in Kenya. An extensive literature review was conducted in 2017, and published literature from 2000 to 2017 was retrieved. This review suggests that infectious disease outbreaks such as waterborne, rodent-borne, and vector-borne diseases have been associated with flooding in Kenya. But there is need for more good quality epidemiological data to cement the evidence. Comprehensive surveillance and risk assessment, early warning systems, emergency planning, and well-coordinated collaborations are essential in reducing future vulnerability to infectious diseases following flooding.

AbstractInfectious-disease outbreaks are often characterized by the reproductive number and 𝓡 exponential rate of growth r. 𝓡 provides information about out-break control and predicted final size. Directly estimating 𝓡 is difficult, while r can often be estimated from incidence data. These quantities are linked by the generation interval – the time between when an individual is infected by an infector, and when that infector was infected. It is often infeasible to ob-tain the exact shape of a generation-interval distribution, and to understand how this shape affects estimates of 𝓡. We show that estimating generation interval mean and variance provides insight into the relationship between and 𝓡 r. We use examples based on Ebola, rabies and measles to explore approximations based on gamma-distributed generation intervals, and find that use of these simple approximations are often sufficient to capture the r–𝓡 relationship and provide robust estimates of 𝓡.

Introdução: As fakes News (FN) alcançaram um amplo destaque nas notícias, influenciando intensamente a vida, transformando modos de pensar. Um dos exemplos de mudança é acerca das atitudes perante a vacinação, verificado pelo aumento ou retorno das doenças, algumas já erradicadas em nosso país. Objetivo: Constatar o impacto das FN na vacinação e os surtos de doenças, destacando as erradicadas na população. Método: Foi feita uma revisão sistemática da literatura nas bibliotecas: scielo, pubMed e lilacs, de artigos publicados entre os anos de 2011 a 2020, nos idiomas português e inglês, usando os descritores: doenças, surto de doenças (SD), vacinação e mídias sociais (MS). Após combinação dos descritores, foram incluídos ou excluídos do quantitativo final a partir da leitura dos títulos. Posteriormente, à análise dos resumos que contemplavam a relação das FN com vacinação, diminuição da vacinação na população, surtos de doenças e vacinação, compuseram a amostra final. Resultados e discussão: Dos 514 resultados, foi selecionado 50 estudos, e com a análise dos resumos excluídos 25, sendo selecionados para o estudo, 25 artigos. A maior quantidade de artigos encontrados foi no Pubmed, e com a temática vacinação e doenças erradicadas (8). Evidenciou- se grande variedade das temáticas abordadas pelos descritores escolhidos, como artigos que contemplavam a vacinação, bem como suas doenças erradicadas e como as FN podem interferir para prejudicar a vacinação. Conclusão: Apesar das vacinas protegerem boa parte da sociedade, é preocupante a crescente população que está comprometendo a cobertura vacinal e a saúde coletiva ao depositar incredibilidade em FN. Palavras chave: Antivacinação, Comunicação, Doenças Contagiosas, Mídias Sociais, Vacinas. ABSTRACT: Introduction: Fakes News (FN) reached a wide prominence in the news, influencing life intensely, transforming ways of thinking. One example of change is about attitudes towards vaccination, verified by the increase or return of diseases, some of which have already been eradicated in our country. Objective: To verify the impact of NFs on vaccination and disease outbreaks, highlighting those eradicated in the population. Method: A systematic literature review was carried out in the libraries: scielo, pubMed and lilacs, of articles published between the years 2011 to 2020, in Portuguese and English, using the descriptors: diseases, disease outbreak (DS), vaccination and social media (MS). After combining the descriptors, they were included or excluded in the final amount from the reading of the titles. Subsequently, the analysis of the abstracts that contemplated the relationship between FN and vaccination, decreased vaccination in the population, disease outbreaks and vaccination, comprised the final sample. Results and discussion: Of the 514 results, 50 studies were selected, and with the analysis of the excluded abstracts 25, 25 articles were selected for the study. The largest number of articles found was in Pubmed, and with the theme of vaccination and eradicated diseases (8). A great variety of the themes addressed by the chosen descriptors was evidenced, such as articles that contemplated vaccination, as well as their eradicated diseases and how NFs can interfere to harm vaccination. Conclusion: Although vaccines protect a good part of society, it is worrying the growing population that is compromising vaccination coverage and public health by depositing incredulity in FN. Keywords: Anti-vaccination, Communication, Contagious Diseases, Social Media, Vaccines.

AbstractThe coalescent has been used to infer from gene genealogies the population dynamics of biological systems, such as the prevalence of an infectious disease. The offspring distribution affects the relationship between population dynamics and the genealogy, and for infectious diseases, the offspring distribution is often highly overdispersed. Here, we provide a general formula for the coalescent rate for populations with time-varying sizes and any offspring distribution. The formula is valid in the same large population limit as Kingman’s original derivation. By relating our derivation to existing formulations of the coalescent, we show that differences in the coalescent rate derived for many population models may be explained by differences in the offspring distribution. The coalescent derivations presented here could be used to quantify the overdispersion in the offspring distribution of infectious diseases, which is useful for accurate modelling disease outbreaks.

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors and has great potential for food security and livelihoods. However, it generates concerning consequences for the environment, including chemical and biological pollution, disease outbreaks, unsustainable feeds and competition for coastal space. Recent investigations are focusing on sustainable techniques (e.g., polyculture, offshore facilities) to improve the relationship between the industry, environment and society. This review provides an overview of the main factors of ecological concern within marine finfish aquaculture, their interactions with the environment, and highlights sustainable alternatives that are currently in use or development. Adequate environmental monitoring and location of farms, the reduction and exploitation of wastes and chemicals being used is crucial to ensure the growth and continuity of aquaculture production.

Produce-associated foodborne disease outbreaks have increased worldwide highlighting the importance of proper implementation of risk management practices (RMP). We determined the relationship between environmental characteristics (i.e., physical resources) of produce farms and implementation of RMP. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses principles, we identified 36 studies to include in our analysis. Most study data were collected through surveys administered to growers in developed countries. Quality assessment results showed that studies on this topic should be more rigorously conducted (e.g., powering sample sizes and training data collectors) to yield better quality evidence. Agricultural waters were the most common environmental characteristic assessed, with many farms using unsafe water sources. Hygiene aids (e.g., accessible handwashing facilities), were lacking across many farms. Animal intrusion RMP were the least commonly assessed environmental characteristic. Only one study tested the relationship between on-farm environmental characteristics and RMP implementation reporting a positive relationship between accessible handwashing and worker hygiene practices. Grower knowledge and perception of RMP combined with cost and ease in carrying out RMP might influence the availability of physical resources for proper RMP implementation. These results can inform practical interventions aimed to increase adoption of RMP on produce farms.
