2 Disclosures I am on the Board of Gilead Sciences and will not discuss any of their products I have received remuneration from the NIH and IDSA (Associate Editor JID) I serve on Data Safety and Monitoring Boards for clinical trials sponsored by the NIH, GSK, and Merck My grant support is from NIAID, NIH I do intend to discuss an unapproved/investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation.

3 Objectives Appreciate the reappearance of vaccine preventable childhood infections Understand the threat of mosquito borne viral diseases, particularly in the Southern US Know the potential for importation of infectious diseases threats in the US

5 A New World of Infectious Diseases

6 Re-Emerging (Vaccine Preventable) Diseases Pertussis Mumps Measles Don t Forget Influenza

7 PERTUSSIS Highly contagious respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis Outbreaks first described in 16th Century Bordetella pertussis isolated in 1906 Estimated 294,000 deaths worldwide in 2002

8 Increase in Pertussis Cases

9 U.S. Reported Pertussis Cases, * *2010 data are provisional. CDC, National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System and Supplemental Pertussis Surveillance System and , passive reports to the Public Health Service

10 Pertussis Cases by Age, San Diego, CA

11 Reported Pertussis-Related Deaths by Age Groups, U.S., Age-group month months months months years years years >18 years Total 77* * Includes one case with unknown age 1 Vitek CR et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2003; 22(7): National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System, CDC, 2009

12 Pertussis Immunization in the United States Whole-cell vaccines / DTwP (1940s) DTaP (1990s) Infants at 2, 4, 6 months (1997) Toddlers at months (1992) Pre-school at 4-6 years (1992) Tdap Adolescents at years (2005) Adults who have not received (2005)

13 MUMPS OUTBREAKS

14 MUMPS 2017

15 CASES OF MEASLES USA (incomplete data set) (in progress)

16 Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin (H) 16 subtypes (attachment, penetration) Neuraminidase (N) 9 subtypes (release) 8 viral genes (assembly, replication) M2 protein (penetration)

17 Influenza Virus Type of nuclear material Hemagglutinin Neuraminidase A/Fujian/411/2002 (H3N2) Virus type Geographic origin Strain number Year of isolation Virus subtype

18 Influenza Virus Strains Type A moderate to severe illness affects all age groups affects humans and other animals (particularly migratory waterfowl) Type B milder disease primarily affects children humans only

19 Impact of Influenza Approximately 36,000 influenzaassociated deaths during each influenza season Persons 65 years of age and older accounted for more than 90% of deaths The number of deaths and cost to society from influenza is likely to increase as the nation s population ages

23 INFLUENZA TYPES

25 Recently Approved Influenza Vaccines Quadrivalent live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV4), or Flumist Quadrivalent (MedImmune) Do Not Use Quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), or Fluarix Quadrivalent (GSK) Trivalent cell-culture based inactivated influenza vaccine (cciiv3), or Flucelvax (Novartis) Trivalent recombinant hemagglutinin vaccine (RIV3), or FluBlok (Protein Sciences) Quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), or Fluzone Quadrivalent (sanofi pasteur).

26 Influenza Antigenic Drift and Antigenic Shift Hemagglutinin Antigenic Shift: Recombinant changes in antigenicity Neuraminidase Antigenic Drift: Mutations result in changes in antigen shape

27 Influenza Vaccine 2017 For , three-component vaccines are recommended to contain: an A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus an A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2)-like virus a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like (B/Victoria lineage) virus Four-component vaccines, which protect against a second lineage of B viruses, are recommended to be produced using the same viruses recommended for the trivalent vaccines, as well as a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like (B/Yamagata lineage) virus.

52 Microscopic Analysis of Brain Tissue Mlakar J et al. N Engl J Med 2016;374:

53 Human Clinical CHIKV Disease Human infection is characterized by fever (>38.9 C), rash, and polyarthritis % patients develop arthritis: very painful, usually symmetrical, and involves more than one joint Joints most commonly affected include: fingers, wrists, elbows, toes, ankles, and knees. Injured joints are more susceptible to CHIKV polyarthritis Tendon and muscle pain are also common ARTHRITIS LASTS FOR A LONG TIME AFTER INFECTION HAS BEEN CONTROLLED To date there are no approved Vaccines or Therapeutics against CHIKV

54 Chikungunya virus infection Majority (72-97%) of infected people develop clinical symptoms Incubation period is usually 3-7 days (range of 1-12 days) Primary clinical symptoms are fever and polyarthralgia

55 Chikungunya virus in the United States Chikungunya virus is not currently found in the U.S. From , 106 laboratory-confirmed chikungunya cases identified in travelers visiting or returning to U.S., but none triggered a local outbreak in U.S. With outbreaks in Caribbean, number of chikungunya cases among U.S. travelers will likely increase Imported cases may result in virus introduction and local spread in some areas of the U.S.

56 CHIKV Outbreaks: Worldwide Epidemic ECSA A226V ECSA Asian Asian Genotype ECSA A226V Three CHIKV Genotypes: Asian, West African, and East/Central/South African (ECSA)

57 Chikungunya virus in the Americas* Seven Caribbean Countries have reported locally acquired cases > than 1,000 laboratoryconfirmed cases have been reported Virus expected to spread to new areas *As of February 10, 2014

69 Symptoms of Ebola Initial symptoms are nonspecific - may include fever, chills, myalgias, and malaise. Patients can progress to develop gastrointestinal symptoms: severe watery diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain Other symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, headache or confusion, conjunctival injection, hiccups, seizures, and cerebral edema Bleeding not universally present but can manifest later as petechiae, ecchymosis/ bruising, or oozing. Frank hemorrhage less common. Some develop diffuse erythematous maculopapular rash that can desquamate. Most common symptoms reported during current outbreak: fever (87%) fatigue (76%) vomiting (68%) diarrhea (66%) loss of appetite (65%) Patients with fatal disease develop more severe clinical signs early during infection and die between days 6-16 of complications (mean of 7.5 days). In non-fatal cases, patients may have fever for several days and improve, around day 6. The case fatality proportion in West Africa is about 71% Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Accessed Oct. 14, 2014

70 Examples of Hemorrhagic Signs Hematemesis Gingival bleeding Bleeding at IV Site 70

71 Ebola Virus Transmission Virus present in high quantity in blood, body fluids, and excreta of symptomatic EVD-infected patients Opportunities for human-to-human transmission Direct contact (through broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes) with an EVD-infected patient s blood or body fluids Sharps injury (with EVD-contaminated needle or other sharp) Direct contact with the corpse of a person who died of EVD Indirect contact with an EVD-infected patient s blood or body fluids via a contaminated object (soiled linens or used utensils) Ebola can also be transmitted via contact with blood, fluids, or meat of an infected animal Limited evidence that dogs become infected with Ebola virus No reports of dogs or cats becoming sick with or transmitting Ebola 71

72 Human-to-Human Transmission Infected persons are not contagious until onset of symptoms Infectiousness of body fluids (e.g., viral load) increases as patient becomes more ill Remains from deceased infected persons are highly infectious Human-to-human transmission of Ebola virus via inhalation (aerosols) has not been demonstrated 72

73

74 Patient Recovery Case-fatality rate between 50-70% in the 2014 Ebola outbreak Case-fatality rate is likely much lower with access to intensive care Patients who survive often have signs of clinical improvement by the second week of illness Associated with the development of virus-specific antibodies Antibody with neutralizing activity against Ebola persists greater than 12 years after infection Prolonged convalescence Includes arthralgia, myalgia, abdominal pain, extreme fatigue, and anorexia; many symptoms resolve by 21 months Significant arthralgia and myalgia may persist for >21 months Skin sloughing and hair loss has also been reported References: 1 WHO Ebola Response Team.
