Identification of risk factors and mosquito vectors associated with dengue virus infection in American Samoa, 2017
Introduction The first outbreak of dengue in American Samoa was reported in 1911. Sporadic outbreaks have been reported since, as were outbreaks of other pathogens transmitted by Aedes species mosquitoes including Ross River, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. During an outbreak of dengue virus-type 2 (DENV-2) in 2016–2018, we conducted household-based cluster investigations to identify population-specific risk factors associated with infection and p…
US-Mexico binational Covid-19 cases in southern California border counties, California, February–June 2020
Binational cases had different trends than non-binational cases of SARS-CoV-2 in San Diego and Imperial counties from February to June 2020. Findings could inform SARS-CoV-2 mitigation strategies specific to the US-Mexico land border, particularly recommendations regarding cross-border land travel
Emerging and Reemerging Aedes -Transmitted Arbovirus Infections in the Region of the Americas: Implications for Health Policy
The increasing geographical spread and disease incidence of arboviral infections are among the greatest public health concerns in the Americas. The region has observed an increasing trend in dengue incidence in the last decades, evolving from low to hyperendemicity. Yellow fever incidence has also intensified in this period, expanding from sylvatic-restricted activity to urban outbreaks. Chikungunya started spreading pandemically in 2005 at an un…

The North American Free Trade Agreement and Public Health at the Us–mexico Border
In their article on public health on the US–Mexico border following the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA),1 Homedes and Ugalde begin with a flawed premise—that free trade agreements, and globalization more generally, should have positive impacts on public health, in step with increased commerce and an invigorated spirit of international cooperation. This hypothesis is faulty for at least 2 reasons. First, NAFTA is only 1 …

Measles vaccination coverage among Latino children aged 12 to 59 months in Los Angeles County: A household survey
A high rate of measles transmission has occurred in Los Angeles County since 1987. To determine measles vaccination coverage among Latino preschoolers, the group at highest risk of measles during this period, a cluster survey was conducted among Latino households with children aged 12 to 59 months. Of 279 children enrolled, 240 (86%, 95% confidence interval = 81% to 91%) reportedly had received the measles vaccine. Measles vaccination coverage am…
Salmonella arizona infections in Latinos associated with rattlesnake folk medicine
In 1987 two Los Angeles County (California) hospitals reported four Latino patients with serious Salmonella arizona (Salmonella subgroup 3) infections who gave a medical history of taking rattlesnake capsules prior to illness. Capsules supplied by the patients or household members grew Salmonella arizona. We reviewed surveillance data for this Salmonella species and conducted a case-control study to determine the magnitude of this public health p…
Declining rates of amebiasis in Los Angeles County: A sentinel for decreasing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Aids) incidence
In Los Angeles County from 1983-1988, rates of amebiasis declined 65 percent among White males 15-44 years. No such decline occurred among White females 15-44 years or White males less than 15. Reported acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases in the district of highest AIDS incidence has followed the initial decline in amebiasis by four years. Amebiasis trends may be a useful predictor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission an…
