Hosts:
Humans, cats, dogs, cows, beavers, deer, sheep & birds
Giardia infection occur through ingestion of dormant cysts
in contaminated water, food, or
by the fecal-oral route (through poor hygiene practices).
The Giardia cyst
can survive for weeks to months in cold water,
can be present in contaminated wells & water systems, &
even clean-looking mountain streams.
They may also occur in city reservoirs & persist after water treatment,
-- as Giardia cysts are resistant to conventional water treatment methods such as
chlorination & ozonolysis

Cryptosporidium
Hosts: mammals, including human
C.muris oocysts found in
Exposure risks:

- People who swim regularly
- Parents of infected children
- People who take care of other people with cryptosporidiosis
- Backpackers, hikers, and campers who drink unfiltered, untreated water
- People, including swimmers, who swallow water from contaminated sources
- People who handle infected cattle
- People exposed to human feces through sexual contact
-certain strains of Cryptosporidium are chlorine-resistant

Viêm gan siêu vi A (hepatitis A)
- self-limited & fulminant disease
- low mortality, high morbidity & socio-economic losses
- # 40% of all acute viral hepatitis is caused by HAV
What is the cause?
- Hepatitis A virus (HAV):
genus of Hepatovirus, family of Picornaviridae
nonenveloped, +ve stranded RNA
How is HAV spread?
- typically by the faecal-oral route
Ingestion of fecal matter, even in microscopic amounts,
from close person-to-person contact, or
23
ingestion of contaminated food or drinks.
Viêm gan siêu vi A (hepatitis A)
- HAV is abundantly excreted in faeces:
- can survive in the environment for prolonged periods of time
- resistant to detergent, acid (pH 1), drying, & temp. up to 60oC.
- can survive for months in fresh and salt water
- Food-borne outbreaks are not uncommon
ingestion of shellfish cultivated in polluted water - high risk
- Hepatitis A has been caused by orange juice, salads, bakery goods & lettuce
- HAV can be inactivated by:
chlorine treatment (drinking water), formalin (0.35%, 37oC, 72 hrs),
peracetic acid (2%, 4 hrs), beta-propiolactone (0.25%, 1 hr), &
UV radiation (2 μW/cm2/min).

Avian influenza - overview
- projections of haemagglutinin & neuraminidase cover the surface of the particle - The influenza A & B virus genomes consist of 8 separate segments
1. Polymerase B2 protein (PB2) 2. Polymerase B1 protein (PB1) 3. Polymerase A protein (PA) 4. Haemagglutinin (HA or H) 5. Nucleocapsid protein (NP) 6. Neuraminidase (NA or N) 7. Matrix protein (M) 8. Non-structural protein (NS); the function of NS2 is hypothetical
Antigenic drift - mutations in the antigenic sites - the seasonal influenza epidemics Antigenic shift = genome reassortment: the HA is exchanged in a virus, for example H1 replaced by H5 resulting in the formation of a mosaic virus. may happen when a cell is infected by 2 different influenza viruses & their genome segments are exchanged during replication.
27
Antigenic shift
28
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigenic_shift
29
Previous Influenza Pandemics
3 influenza pandemics (worldwide epidemics) have occurred, all by influenza A
viruses. A pandemic can occur when:
- a significant change in at least 1 of the influenza A virus surface proteins
haemagglutinin & neuraminidase occurs spontaneously - nobody has immunity to
this entirely new virus.
- the virus also achieves efficient human-to-human transmission & has the ability to
replicate in humans causing serious illness.
This happened in
-1918 (the "Spanish flu", caused by a H1N1 subtype), 20-100 millions dead
- 1957 (the "Asian flu" caused by a H2N2 subtype), 69,800 dead in the US
- 1968 (the "Hong Kong flu", caused by a H3N2 subtype), 50 m infected & 34 000
deaths in the U.S.
30
"All influenza A pandemics since [the Spanish flu pandemic], & indeed
almost all cases of influenza A worldwide (excepting human infections from
avian viruses such as H5N1 and H7N7), have been caused by
descendants of the 1918 virus, including "drifted" H1N1 viruses and
reassorted H2N2 and H3N2 viruses. The latter are composed of key genes
from the 1918 virus, updated by subsequently incorporated avian influenza
genes that code for novel surface proteins, making the 1918 virus indeed
the "mother" of all pandemics”.
(Taubenberger & Morens (2006). 1918 Influenza: the Mother of All Pandemics. Imerg. Infect. Dis. 12: 15-22)
31
The virus is believed to be transmitted to humans via contact with an infected animal host (Gorillas, fruit bats)

36
different from CJD, leading to death in humans.
7 neglected endemic zoonoses
37
1. Anthrax
http://www.pighealth.com/diseases/anthrax.htm
-
primarily a disease of herbivores
although all warm-blooded species are susceptible
-
caused by the spore–forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis
- The ‘reservoir’ of the disease: soil contaminated by spores
- Humans acquire anthrax either by direct or indirect contact with
- infected animals,
- through occupational exposure to contaminated animal products.
- Of 60 countries reporting anthrax in 2004, nearly 60% were developing
38
countries.
Anthrax
- In animals,
http://www.medindia.net/patients/patientinfo/anthr ax.htm
the disease is almost always rapidly fatal.
- In people, the disease takes 3 forms:
(i) inhalation anthrax, acquired by breathing in spores;
(ii) gastro-intestinal anthrax, acquired from eating infected meat
(iii) cutaneous form,
accounting for > 95% of reported cases in developing countries,
39
acquired through skin lesions.
2. Bovine tuberculosis
- In humans, tuberculosis (TB) are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- However, TB can be caused by a number of other bacteria, of which
Mycobacterium bovis, causing so-called ‘bovine tuberculosis’:
- is one of the more prevalent
- has the widest host range of all TB bacteria.
- Bovine TB often occupies sites other than the lungs (extra-pulmonary)
However, clinically indistinguishable from M. tuberculosis infection
- Patients with M. bovis
often do not respond to the drugs commonly used to treat TB
sometimes resulting in a fatal outcome.
other, far more expensive drugs are often needed
- Sporadic reports of cases from many African & Asian countries
- Bovine TB is increasing at a similar rate to the total number of cases of TB.
40
3. Brucellosis
One of the world’s most widespread zoonoses.
caused by various bacteria in the genus Brucella
affecting cattle, sheep, goats, pigs & some other animals
leading to abortion, later permanently reduced fertility &
chronically lowered milk yields
can be passed to people
via direct contact with livestock or
through drinking unpasteurized milk from an infected animal.
In people,
the main symptom: recurrent bouts of high temperature,
to be misdiagnosed as drug-resistant malaria in tropical countries.
a chronic disease, it can cause a variety of other symptoms:
41
joint pain, fatigue & depression.
4. Cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis (NCC)
- emerging as a serious public health & agricultural problem
in many poorer countries of Africa, Asia & Latin America.
(i) Humans
eating raw/undercooked pork meat contaminated with Taenia solium larvae
larvae adult tapeworms (in the intestine of humans) shedding eggs in faeces
(ii) The same or other humans as well as pigs ingest the eggs
- by direct contact with tapeworm carriers or
- by indirect contamination of water or food
-- larvae migrate to different parts of the body -- forming cysts
- A principle site of migration in humans is the central nervous system.
Human neurocysticercosis (NCC) occurs when the cysts develop in the brain.
- WHO estimates that cysticercosis affects some 50 million people worldwide & in
endemic areas, causes some 50 000 deaths.
42
5. Cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease
Echinococcus life cycle
tapeworm
Sheep, cattles, human
43
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydatidosis
6. Rabies
-
probably the best known zoonotic illness
-
caused by a virus, which usually enters the body through a bite or skin lesion
and makes its way to the brain.
-
inevitably fatal outcome in untreated patients after a cruelly unpleasant
7. Zoonotic sleeping sickness or human African trypanosomiasis
(HAT)
-
limited to the continent of Africa where its insect vector, the tsetse fly, is
found
- The causal agent, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, infects humans, wild
animals and domestic livestock
-
the disease is maintained by transmission between the insect vector and
humans
-
the animal reservoir is important
