A framework for integrating wastewater-based epidemiology and public health
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an environmental approach to monitor community health through the analysis of sewage. The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed scientists and public health professionals to revisit WBE as a tool to optimize resource allocation to mitigate disease spread and prevent outbreaks. Some studies have highlighted the value of WBE programs that coordinate with public health professionals; however, the details necessary for im…
An inaugural forum on epidemiological modeling for public health stakeholders in Arizona
Epidemiological models—which help us understand and forecast the spread of infectious disease—can be valuable tools for public health. However, barriers exist that can make it difficult to employ epidemiological models routinely within the repertoire of public health planning. These barriers include technical challenges associated with constructing the models, challenges in obtaining appropriate data for model parameterization, and problems with …
A sliding window approach to optimize the time-varying parameters of a spatially-explicit and stochastic model of Covid-19
The implementation of non-pharmaceutical public health interventions can have simultaneous impacts on pathogen transmission rates as well as host mobility rates. For instance, with SARS-CoV-2, masking can influence host-to-host transmission, while stay-at-home orders can influence mobility. Importantly, variations in transmission rates and mobility patterns can influence pathogen-induced hospitalization rates. This poses a significant challenge f…
Health Disparities in Jail Populations: Mixed Methods and Multi-Disciplinary Community Engagement for Justice and Health Impacts
This special issue of Practicing Anthropology presents multi-disciplinary and multisectoral views of a community engaged health disparities project titled “Health Disparities in Jail Populations: Converging Epidemics of Infectious Disease, Chronic Illness, Behavioral Health, and Substance Abuse.” The overall project incorporated traditional anthropological mixed-methods approaches with theory and methods from informatics, epidemiology, genomics, …
Organizational and Institutional Compartmentalization as a Barrier to Population Health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC 2019e) define population health as “an approach that allows health departments to connect practice to policy.” One intention of the approach is that institutions from several different sectors, including academia, non-profits, public health, and local governments, should collaborate towards a holistic view of local health outcomes. In principal, the holistic view should allow for the recognition…
Overcoming Institutional, Scientific, and Cross-disciplinary Barriers for Healthcare and Disease Transmission Research in County Jail Settings: Integrating Genomics, Survey Data, and Biological Data C…
More than 20 million Americans are currently or have been previously incarcerated and 12 million cycle in and out of the criminal justice system each year. Despite the importance of the jail populations, there are a number of barriers to conducting research in this setting. Challenges in recruiting jail inmates without undue coercion while ensuring proper consent are significant. Even simple things like participant compensation are complicated in…
Phylogeny of the jacchus group of Callithrix marmosets based on complete mitochondrial genomes
OBJECTIVES: Two subgroups make up the marmoset genus Callithrix. The "aurita" group is composed of two species, whereas evolutionary relationships among the four species of the "jacchus" group remain unclear. To uncover these relationships, we first sequenced mitochondrial genomes for C. kuhlii and C. penicillata to complement data available for congeners. We then constructed a phylogenetic tree based on mtDNA heavy chain protein coding genes fro…
