Borders, Budgets, and the Rising Risk of Disease
July 6th, 2011
Is there a perfect storm brewing along our nation’s southern border? Let’s take a look at the numbers in El Paso, Texas where I recently visited:
- There are 27 million crossings per year alone at the El Paso Point of Entry (POE) and a border population of 25 million;
- Cuts to federal funding including a 50% reduction in the Early Warning Infectious Disease Program as well as 12.5% cuts to critical preparedness and response funding;
- Texas is second in the nation for number of tuberculosis cases, the majority of which are found near the border and many of the cases involve tuberculosis strains that are drug resistant
- The bordering country, Mexico, was the source of the last global influenza pandemic
So is this a bad situation getting worse or ticking bomb?
An Invisible Public Health Structure
During my trip I also had the distinct honor to meet and chat with a lawmaker who really understood the importance of border health—U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas who notes, “A border crosser with an infectious disease can be anywhere in the United States within 36 hours.” Congressman Reyes knows that the border is a challenging environment with many barriers including different priorities for the two countries who share the border, different public health systems, travel restrictions, language, and politics. Additionally, our public health teams must contend with new and emerging infectious diseases, an economic crisis where budget cuts have decimated public health programs that man the border, and gaps in preparedness.
Disease Threats
Valley Fever

Do you live in a border state? Had you ever thought about the importance of public health at our borders? How do you think the nation needs to address the issue of budget cuts and possible disease threats?

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus could partly be evacuated by pregnant BALB/c mouse during abortion or preterm delivery
Published on: 2011-07-08
The highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus is one of candidates for future pandemic. Since H5N1 viruses had previously been isolated only from avian species, the outbreak raised questions about the ability of these viruses to cause severe disease and death in humans.
Pregnant women are at increased risk for influenza-associated illness and death. However, little is known about whether influenza viruses could transmit to the fetus through the placenta, and the effects of abortion and preterm delivery to maternal influenza infection are not well understood.
We found that the H5N1 viruses could vertical transmit to the fetus through the placenta in the BALB/c mouse model, and the viruses could partly be evacuated by the pregnant mice during abortion or preterm delivery. This study may further our understanding about the transmission of this highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses, supply optimized clinical treatment method for pregnant women, and shed some light on better preventing and controlling for future potential outbreak of H5N1 influenza pandemic.

Crucell Discovers Important New Antibody Against Influenza A
Leiden, The Netherlands (July 7, 2011) - Dutch biopharmaceutical company Crucell N.V. and The Scripps Research Institute today published an article in the world's leading journal of original scientific research Science describing Crucell's novel anti-influenza antibody CR8020 and how it neutralizes group 2 influenza A viruses. Attempts to isolate broadly neutralizing antibodies against group 2 viruses have not been previously described. The broad neutralizing ability of the CR8020 makes it a potentially groundbreaking therapy against seasonal and pandemic flu.
"Influenza is an elusive enemy" said Jaap Goudsmit, Chief Scientific Officer at Crucell. "The need for innovative approaches to the control of seasonal influenza is highlighted by its death toll - estimated at 500,000 annually. Having successfully discovered these antibodies, Crucell is determined to develop an antibody therapy for flu."
In February 2009, Crucell and The Scripps Research Institute published a paper in Science, reporting the discovery of a panel of human monoclonal antibodies showing neutralizing activity against almost all influenza A group 1 viruses. The most potent of these antibodies, called CR6261, prevents or cures influenza, in animal tests, to deadly levels of the H5N1 and H1N1 viruses.
In this new study, Crucell reports that, by recognizing a novel conserved epitope in the hemagglutinin stem, the antibody CR8020 shows broad neutralizing activity against most influenza A group 2 viruses, including the H3N2 and H7N7 viruses, which cause severe human infection.
