Conclusions: Vaxtracker is an effective tool for monitoring AEFIs in the 55 to 61 years age group. Participant response rates were high for both surveys, in both treatment arms and for each method of sending the survey. This study indicates that administration of 23vPPV was well-tolerated in this cohort. Vaxtracker has successfully demonstrated its application in the monitoring of adverse events in near-real time following vaccination in people participating in a national clinical trial.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 10:52:36 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37190 Wed 19 Jul 2023 11:36:55 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35824 30 days overdue for immunisation. Survey data were analysed using population weights. Results: Estimated true coverage of fully vaccinated one-year-old children in NSW is 96.2% (CI:95.9-96.4), 2.1% higher than AIR reported coverage of 94.1%. Of the children reported as overdue on AIR, 34.9% (CI:30.9-38.9) were actually fully vaccinated. No significant association was found between under-reporting and socioeconomic status, rurality or reported local coverage level. Data errors in AIR uploading (at provider level) and duplicate records contributed to incorrect AIR coverage recording. Conclusions: Despite incentives to record childhood vaccinations on AIR, under-reporting continues to be an important contributor to underestimation of true coverage in NSW. Implications for public health: More reliable transmission of encounters to AIR at provider level and removal of duplicates would improve accuracy of reported coverage.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:30:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4762 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:09:46 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11265 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:57:44 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4626 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:54:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17080 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:38:12 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6870 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:20:51 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6866 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:10:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9230 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:09:48 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19795 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:54:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4365 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:34:44 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26522 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:30:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6863 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:06:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15734 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:04:13 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15341 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:01:58 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:131 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:42:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17028 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:38:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18290 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:18:28 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30873 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:31:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11488 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:27:14 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14803 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:00:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14752 100/100,000. Those notified with TB in the nine areas also had a shorter length of stay in Australia than the rest of the state. The areas with higher TB notification rates were all in the capital city, Sydney. Among LGAs with higher TB notification rates, four had higher rates in both people with a high-incidence country of birth and people not born in a high-incidence country. The age distribution of the HIC population was similar across all areas, and the highest differential in TB rates across areas was in the 5–19 years age group. Conclusions: Analysing local area TB rates and possible explanatory variables can provide useful insights into the epidemiology of TB. TB notification rates that take country of birth in local areas into account could enable health services to strategically target TB control measures.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:55:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11232 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:50:50 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15151 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:07:56 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15339 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:59:54 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20857 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:55:16 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6865 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:54:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6861 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:51:49 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6868 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:47:46 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6867 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:43:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6864 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:17:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6871 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:16:58 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38938 Wed 09 Mar 2022 15:58:36 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49874 Wed 07 Jun 2023 18:21:44 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34574 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:56:07 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52174 Wed 04 Oct 2023 11:03:18 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49018 Wed 03 May 2023 12:31:08 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49753 Tue 30 May 2023 17:21:57 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46728 95% had at least 2 vaccine doses.

Zoonotic transmission is difficult to determine as most species of Cryptosporidium are morphologically identical and can only be differentiated by molecular means. Transmission dynamics of Cryptosporidium in rural populations were investigated through the collection of 196 faecal samples from diarrheic (scouring) calves on 20 farms and 63 faecal samples from humans on 14 of these farms. The overall prevalence of Cryptosporidium in cattle and humans by PCR and sequence analysis of the 18S rRNA was 73.5% (144/196) and 23.8% (15/63), respectively. Three species were identified in cattle; Cryptosporidium parvum, Cryptosporidium bovis and Cryptosporidium ryanae, and from humans, C. parvum and C. bovis. This is only the second report of C. bovis in humans. Subtype analysis at the gp60 locus identified C. parvum subtype IIaA18G3R1 as the most common subtype in calves. Of the seven human C. parvum isolates successfully subtyped, five were IIaA18G3R1, one was IIdA18G2 and one isolate had a mix of IIaA18G3R1 and IIdA19G2. These findings suggest that zoonotic transmission may have occurred but more studies involving extensive sampling of both calves and farm workers are needed for a better understanding of the sources of Cryptosporidium infections in humans from rural areas of Australia.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5162 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:42 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6853 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6854 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6855 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5477 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:04 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4974 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5043 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5361 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25897 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:17 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25854 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:56 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27042 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4715 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50631 Mon 31 Jul 2023 15:53:01 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46659 NSW Public Health Act 2010 and NSW Public Health Regulation 2012 requirements to implement Quality Assurance Programs.

Notwithstanding the threat to public health and wellbeing, significant economic costs associated with the burden of mosquito control would fall to local authorities. Detection of these mosquitoes at airports and seaports has highlighted pathways of introduction but surveillance programs outside these first ports of entry are not routinely conducted in the majority of Australian cities. To assist local authorities to better prepare response plans for exotic mosquito incursions, an investigation was undertaken to determine the extent of habitats suitable for container-inhabiting mosquitoes in over 300 residential properties adjacent to the Port of Newcastle, Newcastle, NSW. More than 1500 water-holding containers were recorded, most commonly pot plant saucers, roof gutters, and water-holding plants (e.g., bromeliads). There were significantly more containers identified for properties classified as untidy but there was no evidence visible that property characteristics could be used to prioritise property surveys in a strategic eradication response. The results demonstrate that there is potential for local establishment of exotic mosquitoes and that considerable effort would be required to adequately survey these environments for the purpose of surveillance and eradication programs.]]> Mon 14 Nov 2022 13:56:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54179 Mon 12 Feb 2024 13:11:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54746 Mon 11 Mar 2024 14:25:24 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35592 Mon 09 Sep 2019 13:06:46 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40983 Mon 08 Aug 2022 14:27:53 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45504 Fri 28 Oct 2022 16:07:22 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23890 Fri 28 Oct 2016 16:21:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42170 Fri 26 Aug 2022 07:58:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51224 Fri 25 Aug 2023 11:09:31 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51082 Fri 18 Aug 2023 09:38:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36860 Fri 10 Jul 2020 19:14:50 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41549 Fri 05 Aug 2022 14:23:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28093 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:32:33 AEDT ]]>
