What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Currently, there is no established scientific standard to guide disease control and prevention organizations in the selection of emergency response personnel. Given the growing risk of significant infectious disease outbreaks, it is imperative to develop an evaluation system for assessing emergency response capabilities.
What Is Added By This Report?: Drawing from competency theory, this study developed an assessment framework for evaluating the emergency response capabilities of staff at disease control and prevention institutions focused on major infectious diseases.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied fleas and their animals in the Junggar Basin to see how they are related to the plague.
- They found that one group had more genetic differences and variations than the other.
- This suggests that the group with more genetic differences may have a lower chance of getting infected with the plague.
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) continues to be the most important cause of death from a single infectious agent, and China has a high TB burden. Although the reported incidence of TB in students is lower than that in general population, TB outbreaks in schools have continuously been reported in the past years, suggesting that schools are a high-risk setting for TB transmission.
What Is Added By This Report?: In total, 31 TB patients were founded in students.
Objectives: Kashgar, located in Xinjiang, China has a high incidence of tuberculosis (TB) making prevention and control extremely difficult. In addition, there have been very few prediction studies on TB incidence here. We; therefore, considered it a high priority to do prediction analysis of TB incidence in Kashgar, and so provide a scientific reference for eventual prevention and control.
