APHA Participation in 20 E. COLI and Cryptosporidium

Seven E. COLI and 13 investigations into Cryptosporidium in England and Wales require APHA in 2024, according to a recent report.

APHA was part of seven investigations that were produced in Toxen Shiga, which produced Toxen (Stec) with two in the first and second quarters of 2024, and three during the third quarter. There were three STEC O26 and two Stec O157 investigations linked to the epidemiological aspect with open farms; Two Stec O145 accidents tracked high -risk foods.

The outbreak of Stec O26, which started in early 2024, was due to animal contact with the farm visitors. E. Coli O26 was detected in stool samples of animals, which has been found more descriptions with the sequence, to be the same as the human isolation breed. Setc O157 samples were taken in the third quarter, which discovered a human spread breed in four stool samples for animals.

The cause of Stec O145 outbreak due to APOLLO in pre -packed sandwiches. A disease of approximately 290 people and seven developed a serious kidney condition called Orimi Aantali syndrome (Hus). The outbreak of Stec O145 was linked to unpasteurized milk, but officials did not announce the number of people who fell ill.

For the outbreaks associated with milk products and dairy products, APHA is advised that the benefactor guarantee milking and dairy hygiene procedures. Unpasteurized raw milk can be a source of a group of microorganisms, so the improved routine and hygiene in dealing with milk, including all equipment and bottles.

Cyptospurridium accidents
During the year 2024, APHA helped in 13 investigations in Cryptosporidiosis, including 12 during the second quarter and the other in the fourth quarter, which was investigated in the second quarter. Two of the Cryptosporidiosis and Stec brigade. One participated in Stec O157, and the other Stec O26.

Eleven was an epidemic of the farmer in England and one on a farm in Wales. There were four consulting visits to APHA and three samples involved.

For common outbreaks, 10 E. Coli O157 was the isolation of animal stool samples similar to the human spread.

Some of the attractions of visitors on the farm were offered the cuddling of small lambs and pigs for visitors. This involves close contact, with the ability to clothes and pollution. APHA said activities such as these increase the risk of moving a group of living organisms.

From April to June, it is traditionally the most crowded time for craciborideic investigations, and is linked to the frequency of agricultural visits open by families or school groups around Easter and bank holidays.

In 2024, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) achieved 16 sebtuladium outbreaks associated with agricultural visits, which led to hundreds of infection. The effect of a major outbreak in the southeast on more than 400 people who visited an event with the treatment of pregnancy and nutrition.

Small lambs connection either by feeding the bottle or dealing with it is a highly dangerous activity to spread the Parvum Ciptospuride. APHA said that the appropriate and appropriate hand washing facilities provide appropriately including soap, instead of anti -microbial gel, which is not effective for this nurse, is very important.

The most specific palaces in the attractions of the animal include hand washing facilities. Supervising the optimum level of animal contact; Political pollution with dirty animal bed or stool; A sign is not clear to contact the animal in exchange for areas other than communication.

For Coxiella Burnetii, which causes Q fever, APHA provided advice during a single accident management team with regard to the dairy farm that was selling unpasteurized milk. There were no human outbreaks of the q Fever epidemiological associated with farms in 2024.
