Exploring the determinants of influenza A/H7N9 control intervention efficacy in China: Disentangling the effect of the '1110' policy and poultry vaccination.

The influenza A virus of the H7N9 subtype (FLUAV H7N9) emerged in Eastern China provinces in 2013 causing illness in both poultry and humans. Most reported FLUAV H7N9 human cases were related to those associated with the live poultry market chain. From 2013 to 2017, there were five epidemic waves of human infections, and from the end of 2016, the number of human cases increased sharply. To control FLUAV H7N9 in the market chain, the so-called '1110' policy at live poultry markets and a national vaccination programme were implemented. The relative efficacy of these two measures on the number of poultry and human infections has not been quantified and compared. To explore their efficacy, a cross-sectional study was conducted in six provinces of China, and the vaccination and surveillance data of H7N9 were analysed. Our survey data showed that poultry vendors were not widely aware of and did not accept the '1110' policy. For subjective and objective factors, some measures of the '1110' policy were not implemented in live bird markets (LBMs). However, the national vaccination programme achieved good immune effects and sharply decreased poultry FLUAV H7N9 infections. The detection rates of FLUAV H7N9 in LBMs and farms gradually decreased since the vaccination programme was implemented. Our analysis also indicated that human infections were closely related to poultry virus carriage rates; therefore, controlling FLUAV H7N9 circulation in poultry was an effective measure to control FLUAV H7N9 infections in humans. Although LBMs play a significant role in human infections, the management measures may not be implemented efficiently; hence, we need to conduct more investigations before developing related policies.

The Category C infectious diseases monitoring and analysis in Zunyi city from 2009 to 2013 / 重庆医学

Objective To investigate Zunyi C Class infectious diseases ,and provide basis for formulating prevention and control measures .Methods A network report of class C infectious diseasesfrom in Zunyi city from 2009 to 2012 was statistically analyzed by Excel software ,and data analysis was conducted by descriptive epidemiological method for .Results In Zunyi city from 2009 to 2013 reported a total of 8 kinds of class C infectious diseases (68 915 cases) ,annual report incidence rate was 213 .23/10 million;the top three are hand foot and mouth disease ,mumps and other infectious diarrhea ,accounted for 62 .22% of the total reported ca‐ses ,19 .68% and 13 .44% .There was slightly higher incidence rate of the disease from March to August and the main risks were in scattered children ,kindergarten children and students ;the age of onset lie in the population under 14 years old ,the male to female ratio was 1 .67∶1 .00 (χ2 =3 445 .64 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion Hand foot and mouth disease ,mumps ,other infectious diarrhea and other infectious disease has become an important public health problem in Zunyi city .Therefore ,the kindergarten ,school infectious disease epidemic monitoring should be strengthened ,the infectious disease outbreaks should be reduced ,and communicable disease diagnosis and reporting standards ,which is helpful to improve the epidemic situation of infectious diseases research and prevention and control level should be improved to maintain the protection of public health .
