The Summary of Notifiable Diseases - United States, 2011 contains the official statistics, in tabular and graphic form, for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable infectious diseases in the United States for 2011. Unless otherwise noted, the data are final totals for 2011 reported as of June 30, 2012. These statistics are collected and compiled from reports sent by state health departments and territories to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), which is operated by CDC in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE).

Meat sources of infection for outbreaks of human trichinellosis.

New pieces of the Trichinella puzzle.

The overhunting of wildlife for food and commercial gain presents a major threat to biodiversity in tropical forests and poses health risks to humans from contact with wild animals. Using a recent survey of wildlife offered at wild meat markets in Malaysia as a basis, we review the literature to determine the potential zoonotic infection risks from hunting, butchering and consuming the species offered. We also determine which taxa potentially host the highest number of pathogens and discuss the significant disease risks from traded wildlife, considering how cultural practices influence zoonotic transmission. We identify 51 zoonotic pathogens (16 viruses, 19 bacteria and 16 parasites) potentially hosted by wildlife and describe the human health risks. The Suidae and the Cervidae families potentially host the highest number of pathogens. We conclude that there are substantial gaps in our knowledge of zoonotic pathogens and recommend performing microbial food safety risk assessments to assess the hazards of wild meat consumption. Overall, there may be considerable zoonotic risks to people involved in the hunting, butchering or consumption of wild meat in Southeast Asia, and these should be considered in public health strategies.

A Review of Zoonotic Infection Risks Associated with the Wild Meat Trade in Malaysia

Trichinella spp. imported with live animals and meat.

In October of 2008, an outbreak of trichinellosis occurred in northern California that sickened 30 of 38 attendees of an event at which meat from a black bear was served. Morphologic and molecular testing of muscle from the leftover portion of bear meat revealed that the bear was infected with Trichinella murrelli, a sylvatic species of Trichinella found in temperate North America. Clinical records revealed a high attack rate for this outbreak: 78% for persons consuming any bear meat and 100% for persons consuming raw or undercooked bear meat. To our knowledge, this report is the first published report of a human trichinellosis outbreak in the United States attributed to T. murrelli, and it is the second such outbreak reported worldwide.

Outbreak of Human Trichinellosis in Northern California Caused by Trichinella murrelli

Abstract. The Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) is a species of conservation priority in western North America. Harlequin Ducks breed in small, isolated populations and have specific nesting requirements. Archival, light-level geolocators are increasingly being used as a low-cost, non-invasive tracking technology to explore migratory connectivity. From 2015-2019, geolocators were deployed on 70 Harlequin Ducks in breeding streams of the Rocky Mountains, Canada and USA, to obtain information on connectivity (breeding to non-breeding), molt-winter sites, dispersal, and breeding phenology. Twenty-two of the 70 geolocators were retrieved from locations in the Rocky Mountains (Alberta, Canada; Montana and Wyoming, USA) and analyzed using the TwGeos and FLightR R packages. Harlequin Ducks from the warmer climate of northwest Montana migrated in spring and started incubation one to two weeks earlier than ducks in west-central Alberta and the greater Yellowstone area. During the non-breeding period, individuals dispersed along the Pacific coast, from Oregon to the Alaskan Panhandle, independent of breeding site. Females that incubated successfully spent 32-34 days incubating, which is several days longer than what is in the literature. Use of geolocators provided detailed information about migration connectivity and breeding behavior in a cost effective and relatively non-invasive manner.
