Reported as of 5/1//2007

There is no reason to believe that West Nile
virus will be the last exotic arbovirus to be
introduced into the U.S.

20
Exotic Infectious Diseases That HaveRecently
Been Introduced to the US
  • Monkeypox
  • CJD/BSE
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Cholera
  • E. coli O157
  • Malaria
  • Leishmaniasis
  • Chagas Disease
  • Cyclospora
  • West Nile Fever
  • Yellow Fever
  • Mayaro Fever
  • Dengue Fever
  • Chikungunya
  • SARS
  • Influenza
  • Lassa Fever

21
Exotic Mosquito Species Recently Introduced and
Established in the US
  • Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus
  • Ochlerotatus (Aedes Finlaya) togoi
  • Ochlerotatus (Aedes Finlaya) japonicus
  • Aedes bahamensis
  • Culex biscayensis

22
Global Threat of Epidemic Arboviral
DiseasesChallenge to Reverse the Trend
  • Movement of Pathogens and Vectors via Modern
    Transportation
  • Lack of Effective Laboratory-based Surveillance
  • Lack of Public Health Infrastructure to Prevent
    control Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases
  • Trained personnel
  • Laboratory capacity
  • Tools (vaccines, drugs, insecticides, etc)
  • Understanding disease ecology
  • Political Will
  • Economic support
