Welcome to this episode of our public health podcast, where we delve into the latest research findings from the February 2024 issue of the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal. Today, we're covering a range of critical topics that underscore the evolving landscape of infectious diseases and our responses to them. Let's take a brief look at what's coming up:
First, we explore how Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, adapted its COVID-19 contact tracing protocols in the face of resource constraints, a study led by Seonghye Jeon. This investigation sheds light on the balance between effectiveness and efficiency in public health strategies during the pandemic.
Next, Krist Ewe leads us through the impact of the Meningococcal ACWY vaccination program during the 2017-18 epidemic in Western Australia, Australia. This piece highlights the crucial role of targeted vaccination efforts in controlling outbreaks of invasive meningococcal disease.
We then examine the use of power law for estimating underdetection of foodborne disease outbreaks in the United States, a groundbreaking study by Laura Ford. This research offers insights into the scale of foodborne outbreaks that go unreported and the importance of improving detection methods.
Following that, Shi Zhao provides an in-depth analysis of the incidence of unreported SARS-CoV-2 infections in Hong Kong, using seroprevalence of Open Reading Frame 8 antigen. This study underscores the hidden burden of COVID-19 infections and the critical role of seroprevalence studies in understanding the pandemic's true impact.
Then, Oluwaseun F. Egbelowo presents a model for interpreting discordant SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test results, tackling the challenges posed by conflicting outcomes from rapid antigen and nucleic acid amplification tests.
Lastly, Holly Fountain describes the increase in gonorrhoea following lifting of COVID restrictions in England.
