Contact Tracing aims to find individuals who have been in contact with infected people, allowing for targeted public health measures and reducing the spread of infectious diseases. #SimplyCast #SmartGovernment #SmallCanadianBusiness #ContactTracing #HealthAndSafety

🌍 Grateful to have coordinated a successful lecture on **"Innovations in Global Public Health: Early Warning Systems for Climate-Sensitive Infectious Diseases."** Thanks to our expert speaker Laith Hussain-Alkhateeb all participants for the valuable insights and discussions. #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #Innovation #Collaboration -

Contact tracing is a recognized public health activity used to identify and break chains of transmission, helping reduce the spread of infectious diseases and safeguarding public health. Take your government to the next level with SimplyCast's Smart Government. #SimplyCast #SmartGovernment #SmallCanadianBusiness #ContactTracing #PreventionIsKey #HealthAndSafety

Stay informed about Mpox - join our webinar. The WHO has declared the current #mpox outbreak in Africa a public health emergency of international concern. Mpox is a potentially severe viral disease which can spread from human-to-human transmission or animal-to-human transmission. Our health experts recommend the following steps to protect yourself from this virus. They will provide a situation update and other recommendations in an upcoming webinar next week. Stay tuned for more information on how to register. #MpoxOutbreak #WHO #Africa #publichealth #globalhealth

Prompt contact tracing is crucial for managing infectious diseases, so stay informed and follow public health guidelines to ensure effective and efficient management. #SimplyCast #SmartGovernment #SmallCanadianBusiness #ContactTracing #StaySafe #PreventionIsKey

🦠 Mpox (previously known as monkeypox) is a viral, infectious disease caused by a strain of the monkeypox virus (MPXV). It has re-emerged as a significant global 🌍health threat in 2024. The World Health Organization has classified the outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) The Royal College of General Practitioners have launched a new e-learning blog authored by Dirk Pilat to outline what we need to be aware of as GPs: ➡️https://bit.ly/3ZmMdJ3 Increasing our awareness , maintaining vigilance, and working with key stakeholders nationally and internationally , are essential to contain this outbreak and prevent it from further escalation. #Awareness #PublicHealth #Monkeypox #prevention

On World Hepatitis Day, we held a brief yet informative session highlighting key aspects of hepatitis. Our discussion covered essential topics including prevention strategies, symptom recognition, and the different types of hepatitis. By sharing this information, we aim to promote better health practices and raise awareness about this important issue. Together, let’s take proactive steps towards a healthier future. #WorldHepatitisDay #SmartBenefits #HealthAwareness #Prevention

We are pleased to present the latest issue of Infectious Disease (ID) Intelligence, NCID’s regular bulletin on thematic ID issues. This issue focuses on the theme of Global Health Collaboration, which underlies the importance and role that international collaboration plays in addressing public health threats and risks.   Read the latest issue at https://lnkd.in/gXkuJvF6   To access previous issues of ID Intelligence, visit https://lnkd.in/gm69GAzN   #IDintelligence #NCIDpublication

UP Faculty of Veterinary Science @ OP PGSA OP Description This accessible book describes a fascinating range of emerging infectious disease outbreaks affecting humans, including rabies, Ebola virus, Lyme disease, bubonic plague, and of course, Covid-19. The book also covers emerging infectious diseases in wildlife, such as Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease, white nose syndrome, mange, and musk ox lungworm. These case studies span the entire range of zoonotic disease emergence pathways, from sheep testicles in Wyoming, USA to butchered bush rats in Vietnam! Transmission dynamics are examined from diverse perspectives - from global drivers of pathogen emergence (including globalization, land use patterns, and changing climates) to outbreak epidemiology (epidemic curves and disease spillover), to conservation and control interventions. Despite a recent explosion of courses on the topic, and a viral pandemic that has affected the entire world, this is the first textbook to focus on pathogen spillover ecology at the human—wildlife interface. Emerging Zoonotic and Wildlife Pathogens serves as an introduction to this multidisciplinary field for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students interested in disease ecology, veterinary epidemiology, public health, and conservation. It will also be relevant to a broader interdisciplinary audience of conservation biologists and public health specialists, and even the interested public.

#ITNcampaigns are crucial in preventing mosquito-borne diseases like #malaria and #dengue fever. They reduce #mosquitobites, protect #vulnerablepopulations, and decrease #diseasetransmission. ITNs are cost-effective, long-lasting, and complementary to other prevention measures. By conducting ITN campaigns, public health initiatives can #savelives and improve overall well-being.
