Africa CDC’s Post

25 years ago, West Nile virus was detected in people for the first time in U.S.—now it’s the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease. Though prevention measures are effective, alone they are not enough to reduce the burden of WNV. Better control measures are needed, including improved mosquito control methods, treatment, and a vaccine. CDC is working with partners to train healthcare professionals, improve surveillance, and more. See more CDC efforts to protect people from vector-borne diseases: https://lnkd.in/g_S4_AG3

Are you worried about how to manage the threat of #tuberculosis in your #healthcare facility? With the emergence of multi-drug-resistant TB, the disease poses a significant risk to human health in the US. Recent outbreaks, such as the one at a YMCA of the USA (National Resource Office) day-care center, exposed 500 children and staff, causing a public health emergency in #nebraska. Fortunately, we have the tools to help prevent the spread of TB. Proven technologies, like Upper-Air Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI), can inactivate infectious aerosols that cause person-to-person transmission and significantly slow the spread.
