Andrea HengHOST
Have you heard of the Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Hayrianto?
Hairianto DimanHOST
Nope.
Andrea HengHOST
What about the Lhasa Fever?
Heather McSherryHOST
They're unusual enough here to warrant careful identification.
Heather McSherryHOST
Several samples reportedly tested positive for CCHF virus, although I need to see the laboratory documentation and the collection chain.
Heather McSherryHOST
A positive tick does not prove how a specific patient became infected.
Heather McSherryHOST
I mean, you can also get infected through direct contact with the blood, body fluids, or tissues of infected organisms.
Heather McSherryHOST
They could be insect bites.
Heather McSherryHOST
Might not be.
Heather McSherryHOST
But with CCHF in the village, I'm not taking chances.
Heather McSherryHOST
So checking myself for attached ticks.
Joshua VongHOST
Singapore is stepping up surveillance of three potentially deadly diseases, requiring doctors and laboratories to report suspected and confirmed cases from October 31st.
Joshua VongHOST
They are Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Lassa Fever and Marburg Virus Disease.
Joshua VongHOST
Fatality rates can reach 50%, according to the World Health Organization.
Joshua VongHOST
None has an approved vaccine or specific treatment.

Mike RobinsonHOST
But perhaps of more interest, if we just put them back on screen for a second, is Dr. Gill Carson here.
Mike RobinsonHOST
Because the press release says that she has had a distinguished and wide ver- v- uh, wide-ranging career working with World Health Organization on diseases including Ebola, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, H1N1, SARS, and H5N1.
Mike RobinsonHOST
She's currently Director of Network Development for the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emergency Infection Consortium, uh, ISARIC, uh, and that's at the University of Oxford, which she helped establish in 2011.
Mike RobinsonHOST
Uh, that consortium is a global federation of investigator-led clinical research networks, that's how they describe it, with sites in over 130 co- co- countries, which is set up to ensure that clinical research can help inform patient care and policy early on in public health emergencies.
Ryan RelichPANELIST
You know, dengue is number one vector-borne viral disease that we know of.
Ryan RelichPANELIST
But number one tick-borne viral disease, at least that predominates in the Eastern Hemisphere, is CCHF or Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.
Ryan RelichPANELIST
So there's a lot of interest in pursuing interventions, but at this time nothing has shown great efficacy, so it's more or less experimental approaches to treating those individuals affected by those diseases.
SainaHOST
Morshed or Kyle, do you wanna add to this?
Jared BauerGUEST
There's nothing we can do for hantavirus, as an example.
Jared BauerGUEST
Um, hantavirus would require 30 guides, but there are things that we can do for Ebola, Marburg, Crimean-Congo.
Jared BauerGUEST
There's a number of these that, um, that this has a potentially high impact.
Jared BauerGUEST
But there was no way to know that until we mapped them.
