25
Resuscitation and obstetrics protection actions during procedures
Never blow into mouth or nose of animal or endotracheal tube
26
Diagnostic specimen handling protective actions during procedures
No eating or drinking in laboratory
27
Wound care protective actions during procedures
May require appropriate PPE
28
What are ways to control environmental infections
Cleaning and disinfection of equipment and surfaces, isolation of animals with IDs, laundry handling, decontamination and spill response, veterinary medical waste, rodent and vector control, other controls- employee break room
29
What should be the vaccination policy at minimum to prioritize employee health
Rabies, tetanus, influenza
30
Disease control
Reduction of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, or mortality to a locally acceptable level as a result of deliberate efforts or continued intervention measures are required to maintain reduction
31
Disease control is a combination of hat 3 things
Initial intervention strategies, on going disease control strategies and monitoring and surveillance activities
32
What was disease control like in early 1900s
Do nothing, quarantine, slaughter/cull, control host movement, fomite control clean and disinfect
33
What is disease control like now
Control hose movement, quarantine, slaughter/cull, fomite control, C+D, vaccintion
34
Eradication
Permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide incidence of infection cause by a specific agent as a result of deliberate efforts; intervention measures are no longer needed
35
What are two successful global eradication programs
Smallpox 1980 Rinderpest 2011
36
What are some ongoing global eradication programs
Guinea worm disease, lymphatic filariasis, leprosy, tetanus, chagas disease, measles, polio
37
What are the control and eradication options
1. Animal depopulation and quarantine new animals 2. Quarantine and remove positives 3. Quarantine and remove positives, vaccinate susceptible animals 4. Quarantine and vaccinations/treatment
38
Animal depopulation and quarantine of new animals is used when
Highly contagious disease and short incubation, disease is disruptive to production and economy, good diagnostic test is available, no reservoir species exist, quick response and outcome, test and slaughter entire herd
39
What diseases would require use of animal depopulation and quarantine of new animals
Foot and mouth disease, exotic Newcastle disease, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, highly pathogenic avian influence, cholera, scrapie
40
quarantine and remove positives is used when
Agent is not highly contagious, long incubation period, test and slaughter individual animals, prevalence is low, requires diagnostic test, not devastating enough to justify killing entire herd
41
What diseases require quarantine and removal of positives
Bovine tuberculosis, equine infectious anemia
42
Quarantine and remove positives, vaccinate susceptible animals is used when
Prevalence of disease is higher and segregation of herds or populations is inadequate, removal of positives will not stop transmission, once prevalence is reduced and herds closed, vaccination can be discontinued, surveillance must be continued, positives are quarantine and some eliminated
43
What is an example of a virus when we would quarantine and remove positives, vaccinate susceptible animals
Brucellosis
44
When would we quarantine and vaccinate animals
Used when prevalence is high but economic and productions costs are not catastrophic, slow transmission
45
What are some examples of viruses when we would quarantine and vaccinate
Leptospirosis, infectious bovine rhinotecheitis, bordetella
46
What is the biological criteria for disease eradication success
Effective method is available to interrupt transmission, practical diagnostic tools are available to detect infection, only one vertebrate reservoir and no environmental amplification
47
What are the social and political criteria for disease eradication success
Societal/political will, disease must be in significant terms of morbidity and/or morality, intervention and eradication are feasible, medical, scientific and legislative bodies must agree on justification, advocacy exist, focuses on one clear goal, scope is clear and duration is limited
48
Biosafety level 1
Agents not known to cause disease in healthy adults- some can cause disease in immunocompromised individuals
49
What agents are included included in bio safety level 1
Bacillus subtitles, naegleria gruberi, infectious canine hepatitis virus, non-pathogenic E. coli species
50
BSL-1 Precautions standard practices
Frequent handwashing, limited access to lab space, no smoking, eating drinking in lab, minimize splashes and actions that create aerosols, decontamination of work surfaces after every use, decontamination of laboratory wastes, mechanical pipettes, sharp precautions, insect/rodent control program, PPE
51
Biosafety level 2
Agents do not cause lethal infections, are not transmissible via airborne route, agents re pathogens for which immunization or antibiotic treatment is available
52
What viruses are included in Biosafety level 2
Measles virus, salmonella species, pathogenic toxoplasma, clostridium botulinum, hepatitis B virus
53
Biosafety level 2 precautions standard practices plus
Greater access restrictions to lab, biohazard warning signs outside lab, surveillance and immunization of lab personnel, Biosafety manual, supervisory staff who have experience working with infectious agents
54
What are the primary barriers in Biosafety level 2
Biosafety cabinets or other containment devices
55
Biosafety level 3
Agents with potential for respiratory transmission may cause serious and potentially lethal infection, either prevention or treatment options exist
56
Biosafety level 3 precautions
BSL-2 plus: Strictly controlled access to lab, pathogen specific training for lab personnel, decontaminating all waste, changing clothing prior to entering/exiting lab, policies for testing workers and storing samples
57
What are the primary barriers to biosafety level 3
Similar to BSL-2, add respiratory PPE when appropriate
58
Biosafety level 4
Dangerous and exotic agents with high risk of life threatening disease, aerosol transmitted
59
What agents are included in biosafety level 4
Marburg, Ebola, viruses that can cause Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever, lassa fever
60
What are the biosafety level 4 precautions
BSL3 plus: Highly specialized training in handling extremely dangerous infectious agents, containment equipment and functions, strict lab access, immunocompromised never allowed in lab, changing clothing, showering at exit, decontaminating all material exiting facility
61
What are the primary barrier to biosafety 4 precautions
Biosafety cabinets, full body, air-supplied, positive pressure personnel suit
62
biosafety level 1 locations
High schools, community colleges, municipal drinking water treatment facilities
63
Biosafety level 2 locations
Local health departments, universities, state laboratories, private laboratories, industrial laboratories
64
Biosafety level 3 locations
State health departments, universities, private companies, industries, federal government
65
Biosafety level 4 locations
Only 13 facilities in US, mot are federal, few universities, 1 private
