SUMMARY:CDC Webinar Briefing: Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo
DESCRIPTION:1 p.m. ET \nThe CDC’s Emergency Partners Information Connection and CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases will hold a special webinar. to discuss the ongoing Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This outbreak is the largest to occur in DRC and is now the second largest Ebola outbreak in the history of the disease. Only the 2014–2016 outbreak in West Africa was larger. The outbreak is occurring in a highly insecure environment\, which complicates public health response activities and increases the risk of disease spread. The webinar will discuss the current situation and how organizations sending US-based workers to areas with Ebola can ensure the health and safety of their workers before\, during\, and after deployment. Presenters include: Mary Choi\, M.D.\, M.P.H.\, Medical Epidemiologist\, CDC’s Viral Special Pathogens Branch\, Shah Roohi\, R.N.\, M.P.H. Senior Advisor for Preparedness and Response\, Division of Global Migration and Quarantine and Trevor Shoemaker\, M.P.H. Senior Epidemiologist\, CDC’s Viral Special Pathogens Branch . \nFor Media to attend\, call:  US:  1 646 876 9923  or  1 669 900 6833 or email epic@cdc.gov

SUMMARY:Media Briefing: Vector Borne Diseases in the United States
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, reported cases of human diseases caused by infected ticks\, mosquitoes\, and fleas tripled from 2004 to 2016. This increase is fueled by many factors\, including climate-change-related increases in rainfall\, temperature\, and extreme weather events that have enhanced the abundance of disease-spreading vectors. Other shifts — in human land use and activity patterns — have also increased contact between people and infected organisms. The result is a growing U.S. public-health challenge. SciLine’s next media briefing will cover the status of vector-borne disease in the United States\, projected future trends\, associated health risks\, and emerging research on methods for prevention and control. This on-the-record briefing will be web-based and accessible via telephone or computer\, so you can attend and ask questions from wherever you are. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, June 19\, 2019\, at 2:00 PM ET \nWHO: \n\n\nDr. Lyric Bartholomay\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \n\n\nDr. Ben Beard\, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \n\n\nDr. Maria Elena Bottazzi\, Baylor College of Medicine \n\n\nSciLine director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing. \n\n\nHOW: You must register here to attend. \nNOTE: This briefing is open only to members of the media. \nBased at the nonprofit American Association for the Advancement of Science\, SciLine offers journalists access to trustworthy\, articulate experts and provides other tools to help make methodically derived scientific evidence easily available to reporters.
