Clinical manifestations typically include fever and localized symptoms that vary by route of infection. The case fatality rate of tularemia is typically <2% but can be higher depending on clinical manifestation and infecting strain. Tularemia is treatable with antibiotics. During 2011-2022, a total of 47 states reported 2,462 tularemia cases, but four central states (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma) accounted for 50% of all reported cases. Incidence was highest among children aged 5-9 years (0.083 per 100,000 population) and adult males aged 65-84 years (range = 0.133-0.161). Incidence among American Indian or Alaska Native persons (0.260) was approximately five times that among White persons (0.057). The average annual incidence of tularemia in the United States during 2011-2022 (0.064) was 56% higher than that reported during 2001-2010 (0.041), largely resulting from increased reporting of probable cases. These findings might reflect an actual increase in human infection or improved case detection amid changes in commercially available laboratory tests during this period. Reducing tularemia incidence will require tailored prevention education; mitigating morbidity and mortality will require health care provider education, particularly among providers serving tribal populations, regarding early and accurate diagnosis and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":18637,"journal":{"name":"MMWR.

This report describes immunization and surveillance activities and progress toward polio eradication in Afghanistan during January 2023-September 2024. As of November 1, Afghanistan reported 23 WPV1 cases in 2024, with onset during January-September 30, 2024. During the 3 previous years, 12 WPV1 cases were reported, including six during 2023. In August 2021, the Taliban took control nationwide and allowed increased geographic access for poliovirus vaccination campaigns. Multiple challenges have affected polio eradication activities in Afghanistan, including mandated repatriation of approximately 1 million Afghans by Pakistan beginning in late 2023, the ongoing humanitarian crisis that limits international agency effectiveness, polio program constraints imposed by authorities, and increased restrictions on female participation in vaccination activities. House-to-house vaccination coverage reached 90%-98% of children during June-July 2024. Beginning in 2021, authorities had progressively lifted restrictions on house-to-house campaigns, but abruptly reverted to national restrictions in September 2024. Both nationwide house-to-house activities and strengthening of the routine childhood immunization program would help ensure that every vulnerable child is vaccinated and provide a pathway to polio eradication in Afghanistan.</p>","PeriodicalId":18637,"journal":{"name":"MMWR.

Worldwide, the number of dengue cases is increasing. During the last dengue outbreaks in Puerto Rico throughout 2010-2013, dengue virus (DENV) serotype 1 (DENV-1) predominated, and the largest proportion of cases occurred among adolescents and young adults aged 10-19 years. Dengue case data from January 1, 2010-November 4, 2024, were obtained from the Puerto Rico Department of Health. Bivariate analyses were conducted to evaluate the distribution of cases by patient age, DENV serotype, and hospitalization status during three periods: 2010-2019, 2020-2022, and 2023-2024. During 2023-2024, the median age of dengue cases increased to 26 years (95% CI = 25-27 years) compared with that during 2020-2022 (17 years; 95% CI = 17-18 years) and 2010-2019 (19 years; 95% CI = 19-19 years). After >10 years of DENV-1 predominance, the proportions of DENV serotypes 2 (DENV-2) and 3 (DENV-3) increased significantly during 2023-2024, with DENV-3 replacing DENV-1 as the predominant serotype. In addition, the proportion of dengue patients who were hospitalized increased from 35.7% (2010-2019) to 53.5% (2023-2024). The current dengue outbreak in Puerto Rico marks a shift in serotype predominance to DENV-3 and increasing percentages of cases in older age groups (61.7% in adults aged ≥20 years), although a high proportion of cases still occur among adolescents aged 10-19 years (29.5%). The current dengue outbreak also has a higher rate of hospitalizations than those in previous years. Understanding the changing epidemiology of dengue is crucial to guiding public health strategies for dengue control, including clinical management, surveillance and health care system resilience, and public outreach and education.</p>","PeriodicalId":18637,"journal":{"name":"MMWR.
