Available evidence demonstrates that direct patient contact and contact with infectious body fluids are the primary modes for Ebola virus transmission, but this is based on a limited number of studies. In this review, the authors address what we know and what ...we do not know about Ebola virus transmission. They also hypothesize that Ebola viruses have the potential to be respiratory pathogens with primary respiratory spread.

Die Basis dafür ist mit Level 1-2 abgedeckt. Kleinere Einheiten erleichtern das Lernen, da die Daür der Kursteilnahme oft un...bekannt ist und unterschiedliche Leistungsstufen der Teilnehmer den Unterricht mit Büchern erschweren. Kleinere Einheiten vermitteln auch schneller das Gefühl, etwas geschafft zu haben.
Die Unterlagen sind freundlich, aber bewusst mit wenig Farbe gestaltet, um Kopierkosten gering zu halten. Die Hefte bestehen aus 10-24 Seiten und sind mit Lehranleitungen versehen

This document updates the 2009 ECDC guidance on chlamydia control in Europe. It was developed by a technical expert group which conducted a critical review of the scientific evidence on the epidemiology of chlamydia and the effectiveness of screening programmes.
The aim of this guidance is to suppo...rt Member States to develop, implement or improve strategies for chlamydia control. This guidance describes the current evidence base behind the proposed options, highlights key gaps in knowledge, and suggests effective options for national chlamydia control strategies. It is directed primarily at policy advisors but should also be useful for programme managers and experts in sexual health.

The World Health Organization was requested by Member States to develop a global priority pathogens list (global PPL) of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to help in prioritizing the research and development (R&D) of new and effective antibiotic treatments. To date, the selection of pathogens for R&D ac...tivities has been largely guided by small and large pharmaceutical companies according to a variety of parameters, such as perceived/unmet medical need, pressure of investors, market size, scientific discovery potential, and availability of specific technologies. Previous PPLs, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
