ABSTRACT

Implementation of a geospatial surveillance and response system data resource for vector borne disease in the Americas (GeoHealth) will be tested using NASA satellite data, geographic information systems and ecological niche modeling to characterize the environmental suitability and potential for spread of endemic and epizootic vector borne diseases. The initial focus is on developing prototype geospatial models for visceral leishmaniasis, an expanding endemic disease in Latin America, and geospatial models for dengue and other Aedes aegypti borne arboviruses (zika, chikungunya), emerging arboviruses with potential for epizootic spread from Latin America and the Caribbean and establishment in North America. Geospatial surveillance and response system open resource data bases and models will be made available, with training courses, to other investigators interested in mapping and modeling other vector borne diseases in the western hemisphere and contributing brokered data to an expanding GeoHealth data resource as part of the NASA AmeriGEOSS initiative.(AU)


A implementação de uma fonte de dados de vigilância e um sistema de resposta geoespacial para doenças transmitidas por vetores nas Américas (GeoHealth) será testada utilizando dados provenientes de satélites da NASA, sistemas de informações geográficas e modelagem do nicho ecológico, para caracterizar a suceptibilidade ambiental e o potencial de dispersão de doenças endêmicas e epizooticas transmitidas por vetores vetores. O foco inicial será o desenvolvimento de protótipos de modelos geoespaciais para a leishmaniose visceral, uma doença endêmica e em expansão na América Latina, e modelos geoespaciais para dengue e outros transmitidos pelo Aedes aegypti (zika, chikungunya), arbovírus emergentes com potencial para disseminação epizoótica pela América Latina e Caribe e estabelecimento na América do Norte. Sistemas de vigilância e resposta geoespacial e modelos de recursos em bases de dados abertas serão diponibilizados, com cursos de treinamento, para outros pesquisadores interessados em mapear e modelar outras doenças transmitidas por vetores no hemisfério ocidental e contribuir intermediando dados para uma fonte de dados GeoHealth em expansão, como parte da Iniciativa AmeriGEOSS, da NASA.

ABSTRACT

An epidemic of probable chikungunya disease occured in Amlan, Negros Oriental from March to October 1968. Six hundred ninety-eight (698) cases were recorded in a post-epidemic survey conducted between October 14-19, 1968The trial of fever, skin rashes, an arthralgia was the prominent feature of the disease. Fever usually began abruptly and usually lasted 2-5 days, but in some cases persisted intermittently over a one to two week period. The skin rashes were mostly described by respondents as either maculopapular or morbilliform. These rashes frequently appeared during defervescence and lasted 2 to 4 days, but reappeared after apparent clinical recovery in some casesArthralgia and occasionally frank arthritis involving large and small joints usually accompanied the onset of pyrexia. Arthralgia frequently persisted for several weeksOne case from Amlan admitted to the Silliman University Medical Center was presented to call attention to the clinical features of the disease. Initial results of serological tests performed on sera collected from this hospitalized patient and other patients in Amlan suggest that the epidemic was due to ckikungunya virus infection.(Summary)
