Dr Hotez came on to talk about his recent appointment by the U.S. Department of State as U.S. Science Envoy. We also talked about anticipating the next “Ebola” and his concerns about ISIS controlled territories and the risk of a serious outbreak. During the second half of the show, MaydayProject co-founder, Josh Cutler joined me to talk about Lyme disease advocates disagreements with theInfectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) over diagnosis, treatment and the existence of “chronic Lyme” or “persistent infections”.

With National Poison Prevention Week just past, Dr Larson talked about some of the toxic risks found here in Florida and in every household–bufo toads, sago palms, marijuana and chocolate were some of the pet dangers we looked at. In addition, Larson answered questions on rabies vaccination, heartworm testing and other tests that vets use to keep our animal companions healthy. During the second half, Executive Director for theNational Center on Sexual Exploitation, Dawn Hawkins joined me to talk about a new study, a disturbing study that shows an increasing trend of young children, some 10 years old and younger, that are producing their own sexual content online using a webcam.

Joining me on the Sunday, Mar. 15 airing of the Outbreak News This Week Radio show, author of the article, Leprosy Isn’t Gone — And Women Bear The Burden, Dr. Judy Stone joined me to discuss the disease and her findings concerning how an already stigmatizing illness affects women on a whole different level. 00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknoleprosy,womenLeprosy caught the country’s attention last month when a slew of media accounts, including this news source, reported on a slight increase in cases in recent moPrion diseases and the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Foundationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/03/08/prion-diseases-and-the-creutzfeldt-jakob-disease-foundationNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/03/08/prion-diseases-and-the-creutzfeldt-jakob-disease-foundation/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/03/08/prion-diseases-and-the-creutzfeldt-jakob-disease-foundationSun, 08 Mar 2015 22:00:00 GMTPrion diseases and the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease FoundationPrion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the causative agents of TSEs are believed to be prions. The term “prions” refers to abnormal, pathogenic agents that are transmissible and are able to induce abnormal folding of specific normal cellular proteins called prion proteins that are found most abundantly in the brain. On Sunday, March 8 on the Outbreak News This Week Radio Show, host Robert Herriman was joined by two great guests to discuss these relatively rare, always fatal and somewhat misunderstood diseases. Ryan Maddox, PhD, Epidemiologist with the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic InfectiousDiseases at the CDC came on first to go over the nuts and bolts of prion diseases with some emphasis on Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). In addition, the President of the CJD Foundation, Debbie Yobs enlightened the radio audience with the great work of the support organization.   00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknoprion,Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease,mad cow diseaseOverview of prion diseaseBedbugshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/03/01/bedbugsNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/03/01/bedbugs/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/03/01/bedbugsSun, 01 Mar 2015 23:00:00 GMTBedbugsAssistant professor of entomology at the Kansas State University Research and Extension Center, Sarah Zukoff, PhD joined me to answer some of the most common questions concerning these nuisance creatures: Where are bedbugs found?, Do they spread disease? What are the signs of infestation? and how do you get rid of bedbugs? 00:54:00Outbreak News This WeeknobedbugsJust the thought of bedbugs can make you itchClimate change and emerging infectious diseaseshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/22/climate-change-and-emerging-infectious-diseasesNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/22/climate-change-and-emerging-infectious-diseases/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/22/climate-change-and-emerging-infectious-diseasesSun, 22 Feb 2015 23:00:00 GMTClimate change and emerging infectious diseasesOn Sunday’s Outbreak News This Week Radio Show, Daniel Brooks, PhD, the co-author of the article “Evolution in action: climate change, biodiversity dynamics and emerging infectious disease” published in  the journal, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, joined host, Robert Herriman to discuss his statements and conclusions ofthe article. Brooks talks about the “parasite paradox”, why new pathogens find us faster than we find them and how emerging infections will not be the “Andromeda Strain”, that will wipe everybody out on the planet, instead It will be the death of a thousand cuts. 00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknoparasites,climate changeWhat is the connection between climate change and emerging infectious diseases?Meningitis Angels and the ‘Cost of measles’http://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/15/meningitis-angels-and-the-cost-of-measlesNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/15/meningitis-angels-and-the-cost-of-measles/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/15/meningitis-angels-and-the-cost-of-measlesSun, 15 Feb 2015 23:00:00 GMTMeningitis Angels and the ‘Cost of measles’Joining me on yesterday’s Outbreak News This Week radio show to discuss the cases, the new meningitis B vaccines and the wonderful work of the organization, Meningitis Angels, was the Founder/National Executive Director of Meningitis Angels, Frankie Milley. Mrs Milley talked about the work of Meningitis Angels, her upcoming testimony with the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and her own personal tragedy with losing her teenage son to this devastating disease. In the second half of the show I talked to Science and Health journalist, Tara Haelle about her interesting article published in Forbes that looks at the financial and manpower costs of measles: Measles Outbreak in Dollars and Cents: It Costs Taxpayers Bigtime. 00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknovaccines,measles,MeningitisMeasles and meningitis vaccinesCraigslist and HIV; Mistrust of the government and vaccineshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/08/craigslist-and-hiv-mistrust-of-the-government-and-vaccinesNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/08/craigslist-and-hiv-mistrust-of-the-government-and-vaccines/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/08/craigslist-and-hiv-mistrust-of-the-government-and-vaccinesSun, 08 Feb 2015 23:00:00 GMTCraigslist and HIV; Mistrust of the government and vaccinesAccording to a recent study in the journal MIS Quarterly, Craigslist’s entry into a market results in a 15.9 percent increase in reported HIV cases. The author of the study, Jason Chan, PhD, Assistant Professor ofInformation & Decision Sciences at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota joined me on the show Sunday to discuss the research in more detail. Of course, vaccines are the hot topic of the day and my second guest looked at the H1N1, or swine flu vaccine from the 2009-2010 pandemic and Americans’ views on a then-new vaccine. Ohio State University Sociology professor, Dr Kent Schwirian, the coauthor of a paper published  in the journal Health Promotion International joined me to talk about it. 00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknovaccines,HIV,CraigslistWhat is the link between HIV and Craigslist?Amoeba awareness, part 2: Balamuthiahttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/01/amoeba-awareness-part-2-balamuthiaNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/01/amoeba-awareness-part-2-balamuthia/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/02/01/amoeba-awareness-part-2-balamuthiaSun, 01 Feb 2015 23:00:00 GMTAmoeba awareness, part 2: BalamuthiaA story that caught my eye was of one of a young lady from California who contracted the rarely encountered parasite, Balamuthia mandrillaris in March 2013. Her name is Koral Reef Meister Pier and she lost her battle against the 95% fatal amoeba in Oct. 2014. I had the opportunity and honor to talk to her mother, Sybil Meister and family friend, Ebony Parker about Koral’s life and her Balamuthiainfection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Balamuthia infection is very rare but often causes fatal disease. Since Balamuthia was first discovered in 1986, about 200 cases of infection have been reported worldwide. This number includes at least 70 confirmed cases in the United States. 00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknoamoeba,BalamuthiaThe story of Koral Reef Meister Pier and her battle with the dangerous amoebaAmoeba awareness: Naegleria fowlerihttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/01/25/amoeba-awareness-naegleria-fowleriNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/01/25/amoeba-awareness-naegleria-fowleri/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/01/25/amoeba-awareness-naegleria-fowleriSun, 25 Jan 2015 23:00:00 GMTAmoeba awareness: Naegleria fowleriDr. Sandra Gompf is an Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of South Florida.

The interview consisted of discussing and rebutting the “10 Reasons Not To Vaccinate” article published on the anti-vaccine website, Vactruth.com last month. Dr. Offit was asked to comment on such arguments as “Vaccine do NOT work”, “Are vaccines cause a host of ‘chronic, incurable, and life threatening diseases’? and “Vaccines have never been proven safe or effective”. 00:54:00Outbreak News This Weeknovaccines,Paul Offit,anti-vaxxersDebunking anti-vaccine argumentsFlu, measles vaccines study and spider biteshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/01/11/flu-measles-vaccines-study-and-spider-bitesNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/01/11/flu-measles-vaccines-study-and-spider-bites/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/outbreaknews/2015/01/11/flu-measles-vaccines-study-and-spider-bitesSun, 11 Jan 2015 23:00:00 GMTFlu, measles vaccines study and spider bitesIn the first segment, host Robert Herriman got us up to snuff on the latest on the flu season here in the United States.
