Antibiotic resistant pathogen outbreak investigation: an interdisciplinary module to teach fundamentals of evolutionary biology

<p>The evolution of resistance to antibiotics provides a timely and relevant topic for teaching undergraduate students evolutionary biology. Here, we present a module incorporating modified sequencing data from eight antibiotic resistant pathogen outbreaks in hospital settings with bioinformatics and phylogenetic analyses. This module uses whole genome sequencing data from hospital outbreaks investigated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide examples of antibiotic resistance spread. Students work in groups to analyze outbreak data to identify the bacterial species and antibiotic resistance genes, to infer a phylogenetic tree examining relatedness among isolates, and to determine a possible source of the outbreak. Students then compile their results in individual reports and provide recommendations for preventing the further spread of antibiotic resistant organisms. In addition to providing genomic outbreak data, we include a teaching concepts guide discussing three integral components of the module: how evolutionary biology concepts of natural selection and competition impact antibiotic resistance; outbreak investigation information to aid in phylogenetic analysis and creation of recommendations; and instructions for the bioinformatics protocol. Completion of this module provides students an opportunity to think critically about the evolution of resistance, practice bioinformatics techniques, and relate evolutionary biology to current events.</p>

Quantifying the basic reproduction number and the under-estimated fraction of mpox cases around the world at the onset of the outbreak: a mathematical modeling and machine learning- based study

<p><span>In 2022, there was a global resurgence of mpox, with different clinico-epidemiological features compared with previous</span><br><span>outbreaks. During this resurgence, sexual contact was hypothesized as the primary transmission route, with the community</span><br><span>of men having sex with men (MSM) being disproportionately affected. Because of the stigma associated with sexually</span><br><span>transmitted infections, especially those impacting MSM, the real burden of mpox could be masked.</span><br><span>We quantified the basic reproduction number (R</span><span>0</span><span>) and the under-estimated fraction of mpox cases in 16 countries, from the</span><br><span>onset of the outbreak until early September 2022, using Bayesian inference and a compartmentalized, risk-structured (high-</span><br><span>and low-risk populations), two-route (sexual and non-sexual transmission) mathematical model. Machine learning (ML) was</span><br><span>leveraged to identify under-estimation determinants.</span><br><span>Estimated R</span><span>0</span><span> </span><span>ranged between 1&middot;37 (Canada) and 3&middot;68 (Germany). The under-estimation rates for the high- and low-risk</span><br><span>populations varied between 25-93% and 65-85%, respectively. The estimated total number of mpox cases, relative to the</span><br><span>reported cases, is highest in Colombia (3&middot;60) and lowest in Canada (1&middot;08). In the ML analysis, two clusters of countries could</span><br><span>be identified, differing in terms of attitudes towards the 2SLGBTQIAP+ community and importance of religion.</span><br><span>Given the substantial mpox under-estimation, surveillance should be enhanced and campaigns against the stigmatization of</span><br><span>MSM should be organized. Countries have different social characteristics, potentially explaining the various degrees of under-</span><br><span>reporting in mpox cases, which should be considered by studies assessing the effectiveness of community-based</span><br><span>interventions.</span></p>

Monitoring knowledge, risk perceptions, preventive behaviours and trust to inform pandemic outbreak response.

<p>The study is part of the large project promoted by WHO Regional Office for Europe called &ldquo;<em>Monitoring knowledge, risk perceptions, preventive behaviours and trust to inform pandemic outbreak response</em>&rdquo; and carried out in over 30 countries of the WHO European Region (Registered ISRCTN on 11/05/2021, ID: ISRCTN26200758). In Italy, the survey was conducted administering an online questionnaire developed <em>ad hoc</em> by the WHO in four waves (January-May 2021) to a sample of 10.000 individuals aged 18-70 years. A detailed sampling plan was developed to obtain a representative sample of the Italian adult population. The following variables were taken into account for stratification of the participants: gender by age (four age groups: 18-34 years, 35-44 years, 45-54 years, 55-70 years); geographical area (four areas: North West, North East, Centre, South and Islands); size of living centers (two classes: above and below 100,000 inhabitants); level of education (up to lower middle school, beyond lower middle school); and employment situation (employed, not employed). At the end of each survey&rsquo;s wave, a weighting procedure has been applied to accurately restore the proportionality of the total sample examined with the reference population, according to the most recent data of the Italian Statistics Institute (ISTAT, 12/31/2019). In particular, data have been weighted for the main socio-demographic and geographic variables (e.g., sex by age by geographical area, occupation, educational qualification, geographical area by size of living centers). The sample size made it possible to maintain a sampling error of less than 2% (at the significance level of 95%) and to control the error of estimates within groups or subgroups of interest. The interviews were conducted by Doxa S.p.a. and carried out with the CAWI technique (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing) on an online panel and on the Confirmit software platform used by Doxa S.p.a. The average administration time was about 18-20 minutes. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the IRCCS San John of God Fatebenefratelli of Brescia (n&deg; 72-2020), and all participants provided written informed consent.</p> <p>The primary objectives are to:</p> <p>● Monitor variables that are critical for population behaviour to control transmission of the novel coronavirus, including risk perceptions, knowledge, self-efficacy, confidence in institutions, behaviours, rumours, affect, worry, resilience, trust in/use of information sources and more.<br> ● Document changes over time in these factors to understand the effect of the pandemic process, new developments, events or measures taken.<br> ● Monitor possible issues, e.g. related to misinformation or distrust, as they emerge, to allow early response.<br> ● Identify relationships between variables to identify levers for effective and appropriate responses.<br> ● Explore the relationship of psychological variables (e.g. worry, resilience, trust, affect) with the epidemiological situation and the events and measures taken.<br> ● Identify gaps between perceived and actual knowledge.<br> ● Evaluate the effectiveness of pandemic response measures, and the acceptance and effectiveness of policies and restrictions implemented, including the easing of such restrictions.<br> The secondary objectives are to:<br> ● Contribute to post-outbreak evaluation, thereby contributing to the continued regional/global efforts to better understand mechanisms of crisis response.<br> ● If additional research capacity is available, the data can be triangulated with data on media reporting, COVID-19 cases and other.● If additional research capacity is available, the data can be triangulated with data on media reporting, imported or confirmed cases, etc.: The relationship between psychological variables and characteristics of the outbreak situation can be explored (i.e. how closely the perceived risk mirrors reported cases, relative import risk, media reports).<br> This approach allows a citizen-centred approach where insights into population perceptions and behaviours inform COVID-19 actions, alongside epidemiological data and considerations of economic, cultural, ethical, structural political nature and other.</p> <p>The WHO questionnaire includes 21 different thematic areas noteworthy for the investigation of COVID-19 experience. The questionnaire was translated into specific country language by each recruiting site, following the WHO&rsquo;s guidelines for translations of tools into other languages. The process included the following steps: forward translation, panel experts, back-translation, pre-test and cognitive interviews and, finally, development of the final version. Variables being surveyed include the following:<br> &bull; Socio-demography;<br> &bull; COVID-19 personal experience;<br> &bull; Health literacy;<br> &bull; COVID-19 risk perception;<br> &bull; Probability and Severity;<br> &bull; Preparedness and Perceived self-efficacy;<br> &bull; Prevention &ndash; own behaviours;<br> &bull; Affect;<br> &bull; Trust in sources of information;<br> &bull; Use of sources of information;<br> &bull; Frequency of Information;<br> &bull; Trust in institutions (perceptions);<br> &bull; Policies, interventions (perceptions);<br> &bull; Conspiracies (perceptions);<br> &bull; Resilience (perceptions);<br> &bull; Testing and tracing;<br> &bull; Fairness (perceptions);<br> &bull; Lifting restrictions (pandemic transition phase);<br> &bull; Unwanted behaviour;<br> &bull; Wellbeing;<br> &bull; COVID-19 vaccine.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Simulation result from "Simulating Bark Beetle Outbreak Dynamics and their Influence on Carbon Balance Estimates with ORCHIDEE r7791"

<p>Eight locations were selected which represent the range of climatic conditions within the distribution area of spruce in Europe (<em>Picea Abies</em> Karst L.) as shown in Table 4. Half-hourly weather data from the FLUXNET database <a href="https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?ibBw15">(Pastorello et al., 2020)</a> for these locations were used to drive ORCHIDEE.&nbsp; Some of these locations (FON, SOR, HES, COL, WET) are not populated with spruce but all are located within the species distribution. For each location, a pure spruce stand was simulated and the available FLUXNET data was looped to simulate a 100-year period. The study did not investigate the effect of species mixture in the simulation experiments. Other inputs, including soil texture, pH and soil color were obtained from the USDA map derived from <a href="https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?aaWPI6">Eswaran et al. (2003</a>), for the corresponding pixel.</p> <p>The amount of fresh breeding woody substrate inputs used by the bark beetles to breed was controlled by modifying the maximum wind speed of a windthrow event in ORCHIDEE. Seven wind speeds ranging between 19 m/s and 40 m/s were selected (Table 3). This range is justified by the observation that mean wind speeds below 19 m/s could not trigger a windthrow event in ORCHIDEE <a href="https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?jEqNDm">(Chen et al., 2018)</a> while for wind speeds exceeding 40 m/s, more than 60% of the trees are uprooted, leaving too few living trees to trigger a bark beetle outbreak within the same pixel.&nbsp;</p> <p>To investigate the impact of windthrow intensity and background climate on bark beetle outbreaks, the study conducted a total of 56 [8 sites x 7 wind speed intensities] simulations as given in table 3. The same 56 simulations were also used to analyze the sensitivity of the carbon balance of spruce forests to windthrow intensity and background climate.</p> <p>Where most land surface models use a turnover time to simulate continuous mortality <a href="https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?5jGfXF">(Thurner et al., 2014; Pugh et al., 2019)</a>, ecological reality is better described by abrupt mortality events. An idealized simulation experiment was used to qualify the impact of abrupt mortality on net biome productivity by changing from a framework in which mortality is approximated by a constant background mortality to a framework in which mortality occurs in abrupt, discrete events. To test the impact of a change in mortality framework two versions of ORCHIDEE were compared to create an idealized simulation experiment: (1) a version simulating mortality as a continuous process, labeled &rdquo;the continuous version&rdquo;, and (2) the version capable of simulating abrupt mortality from windthrow and subsequent bark beetle outbreaks, labeled &rdquo;the abrupt version&rdquo;. The effect of simulating abrupt mortality was evaluated over 20-, 50-, and 100-year time horizons.</p> <p>The effect of changing the framework of simulating mortality from continuous to abrupt was qualified on the basis of 112 simulations (8 sites x 7 wind speeds x 2 model versions) of 100 years each. The simulations with abrupt mortality were run first. Subsequently, the number of trees killed was quantified and used as a reference value for the continuous mortality set-up. This approach resulted in the same quantities of dead trees at the end of the simulation for both frameworks, which then differed only in the timing of the simulated mortality.&nbsp; This precaution is necessary to avoid comparing two different mortality regimes where the result would mainly be explained by the intensity of the mortality rather than by its underlying mechanisms.&nbsp;</p>

Reanalysis of the 2000 Rift Valley fever outbreak in Southwestern Arabia

<p>The first documented Rift Valley hemorrhagic fever outbreak in the Arabian Peninsula occurred in northwestern Yemen and southwestern Saudi Arabia from August 2000 to September 2001. This Rift Valley fever outbreak is unique because the virus was introduced into Arabia during or after the 1997-1998 East African outbreak and before August 2000, either by wind-blown infected mosquitos or by infected animals, both from East Africa. A wet period from August 2000 into 2001 resulted in a large number of amplification vector mosquitoes, these mosquitos fed on infected animals, and the outbreak occurred. More than 1,500 people were diagnosed with the disease, at least 215 died, and widespread losses of domestic animals were reported. Using a combination of satellite data products, including 2 x 2 m digital elevation images derived from commercial satellite data, we show rainfall and potential areas of inundation or water impoundment were favorable for the 2000 outbreak. However, favorable conditions for subsequent outbreaks were present in 2007 and 2013, and very favorable conditions were also present in 2016-2018. The lack of subsequent Rift Valley fever outbreaks in this area suggests that Rift Valley fever has not been established in mosquito species in Southwest Arabia, or that strict animal import inspection and quarantine procedures, medical and veterinary surveillance, and mosquito control efforts put in place in Saudi Arabia following the 2000 outbreak have been successful. Any area with Rift Valley fever amplification vector mosquitos present is a potential outbreak area unless strict animal import inspection and quarantine procedures are in place.</p>

How does parasite environmental transmission stage concentration change before, during, and after disease outbreaks?

<p>Outbreaks of environmentally transmitted parasites require that susceptible hosts encounter transmission stages in the environment and become infected, but we also know that transmission stages can be in the environment without triggering disease outbreaks. One challenge for understanding the relationship between environmental transmission stages and disease outbreaks is that the distribution and abundance of transmission stages outside of their hosts have been difficult to quantify. Thus, we have limited data about how changes in transmission stage abundance influence disease dynamics; moreover, we do not know whether the relationship between transmission stages and outbreaks differs among parasite species. We used digital PCR to quantify environmental transmission stages of five parasites in six lakes in southeastern Michigan every two weeks from June to November 2021. At the same time, we quantified infection prevalence in hosts and host density. Our study focused on eight zooplankton host species (<em>Daphnia</em> spp. and <em>Ceriodaphnia</em> <em>dubia</em>) and five of their parasites from diverse taxonomic groups (bacteria, yeast, microsporidia, and oomycete) with different infection mechanisms. We found that parasite transmission stage concentration increased prior to disease outbreaks for all parasites. However, parasites differed significantly in the relative timing of peaks in transmission stage concentration and infection outbreaks. The 'continuous shedder' parasites had transmission stage peaks at the same time as or slightly after the outbreak peaks. In contrast, parasites relying on host death for transmission ('obligate killers') had transmission stage peaks before outbreak peaks. For most parasites, lakes with outbreaks had higher spore concentrations than those without outbreaks, especially once an outbreak began; the exception was for a parasite, <em>Pasteuria</em> <em>ramosa</em>, with very strong genotypic specificity of infection. Overall, our results show that disease outbreaks are tightly linked to transmission stage concentration; outbreaks were preceded by increases in transmission stage concentration in the environment and then were fueled by the production of more transmission stages during the outbreak itself, with concentrations decreasing to pre-outbreak levels as outbreaks waned. Thus, tracking transmission stages in the environment improves our understanding of the drivers of disease outbreaks and reveals how parasite traits may affect these dynamics.</p>
