These methods have been successful\, but have limit ed ability to control residual and outdoor transmission and can also be p roblematic for the environment. The advent of endectocidal drugs in the 1 970s ushered in the era of controlling helminth and arthropod infestation s on farm and companion animals using oral drugs. We are repurposing thes e drugs for the purpose of controlling mosquito-borne diseases that affli ct humans.\n\nSpeaker:\nBrian Foy\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails UR L:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-seminar-3/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220914T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T130130Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220914T120000 GEO:41.302961;-72.931638 LOCATION:106A\, 47 College Street\, New Haven\, CT\, United States RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220914T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar: Brandon Brei Memorial Lecture "Leveraging bloodm eals to target the transmission of mosquito-borne pathogens" UID:0dabbfe7-376a-488e-b13b-47e2e4244dc7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, an extensively drug resistant (XDR) strain of Salmon ella Typhi emerged in Pakistan. Genomic studies suggest that a non-XDR ty phoid strain acquired a gene from E. coli through horizontal gene transfe r\, rendering S . Typhi resistant to a key antibiotic previously used to treat typhoid fever in Pakistan. Horizontal transfer of antimicrobial res istance (AMR) genes between bacteria can occur in the environment\, but m ainstream methods of whole-sample genomic analysis have limited ability t o tie AMR genes to specific bacterial hosts. In this talk I will discuss our findings from an environmental study of S . Typhi in Pakistan in whic h we explored the potential for antimicrobial resistance gene transfer in water and biofilm matrices using a specialized metagenomic approach that facilitated identification of AMR genes associated with specific bacteri al hosts and instances of shared resistance genes between multiple bacter ial species.\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.e du/event/ysph-emd-seminar-4/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220921T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T130130Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220921T120000 GEO:41.302961;-72.931638 LOCATION:106A\, 47 College Street\, New Haven\, CT\, United States RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220921T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series: “Emergence of extensively drug-resistant typhoid in Pakistan: investigating the potential for resistance gene tran sfer in the environment” UID:0dabbfe7-376a-488e-b13b-47e2e4244dc7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Human interactions are at the core of spread of infectious dis eases in families\, in communities\, and around the world. However\, most methods used to ascertain the determinants and impact of the spread of i nfectious diseases have traditionally been quantitative or lab based.

Childhood vaccination programs resulted in a decrease in disease caused by vaccine serotypes\, but serotype replacemen t resulted in a simultaneous increase in carriage and disease caused by n on-vaccine serotypes. A key driver of serotype replacement is capsule-swi tching\, which is the expansion of non-vaccine serotypes within vaccine-t ype genetic lineages. Genetic analyses suggest that specific serotype pai rs switch preferentially\, but the mechanisms behind this remain poorly u nderstood. Our work focuses on characterizing the fitness of capsule-swit ch variants and providing an improved understanding of genetic and metabo lic constraints on this process. We aim to be ablet to predict capsule-sw itch variants that are most likely to emerge in the future and use this t o guide serotype inclusion for next generation vaccines\n\nAdmission:\nFr ee\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-seminar-27/\ n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T130130Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T120000 GEO:41.303509;-72.931937 LOCATION:115\, 60 College Street\, New Haven\, CT\, United States RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar: “How serotype replacement threatens the success of pneumococcal vaccination programs worldwide” UID:0dabbfe7-376a-488e-b13b-47e2e4244dc7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Tuberculosis is a major global cause of infectious mortality a nd morbidity\, and progress against it has been slow. One challenge to en ding TB epidemics is that TB often reaches the health care system only af ter many months of disease and potential transmission. This talk explores the potential to achieve large reductions in TB by intervening at earlie r stages. Dr. Kendall will review current evidence and share her ongoing work (both field studies and modeling) designed to optimize interventions for early TB detection.\n\nSpeaker:\nEmily A.

Typhoid conjugate vaccine offers great promise control of enteric fever\, also known as typhoid and paratyphoid fever. However\, many low-and-middle-income countries lack incidence data to support vacc ine introduction\, with significant gaps across Asia\, Africa\, and the M iddle East. This talk will review current limitations in diagnostic assay s for enteric ever and recent research advances in developing an improved diagnostic assay and serosurveillance tool for this infection. These new tools and approaches can potentially expand the geographical scope of en teric fever surveillance.\n\nSpeaker:\nRichelle C.

Local outbreaks of disease are beco ming more global. While this leads to increased global effort and collabo ration\, it also exacerbates health inequities that already exist in low- and middle-income countries. By promoting healthy behaviors\, investing in health care infrastructure\, and addressing the root causes of health disparities locally\, we can improve the health of communities around the world and help ensure a healthier future for everyone.

Small molecules targeting type I interferon-in duced processes have been exploited as therapeutic targets for multiple v iruses including Zika virus without much success in part due to the natur e of the molecules not being suitable for clinical applications. My lab s howed that the novel enzyme\, human CMPK2 has a viperin-independent role in inhibiting flavivirus RNA translation\, thus targeting CMPK2 would be an effective strategy in the development of novel antiviral therapies.\n\ nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-e md-seminar-35/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230426T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T130130Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230426T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20230426T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar - CMPK2 Is a Pan-flavivirus Restriction Factor UID:0dabbfe7-376a-488e-b13b-47e2e4244dc7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:\nAdmission:\nFree\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220831T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T130130Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220831T120000 RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20230427T035959Z;BYDAY=WE SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar UID:0dabbfe7-376a-488e-b13b-47e2e4244dc7 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
