Podcasts about outbreaks

What happens when a deadly outbreak is stopped before most people ever hear about it?  Dr. Paige Armstrong, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Global Health Center, explains how the CDC works with partners around the world to detect and contain emerging health threats before they reach U.S. communities. From Ebola in Uganda to Marburg in Tanzania, Dr. Armstrong shares real-world examples of how surveillance systems, laboratory networks, trained public health workers, and trusted international partnerships help stop outbreaks at their source. Also, Dr. Marcus Plescia, former ASTHO Chief Medical Officer and District Health Director for the Fulton Health District, District 3-2 in Atlanta, Georgia discusses the massive public health preparations underway for the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. We'll hear about the complex planning required to protect millions of visitors during one of the world's largest sporting events.Outbreaks You Never Heard About: Because CDC Was There | Global Health Protection | CDCDeveloping a Policy Action Plan to Improve Access to STI Medications WebinarBridging Systems: How Kentucky is Improving Response to Emerging Health Threats | ASTHO

Should an elected official be required to resign if caught in an extra-marital affair? The U.S. now has more than 2,000 measles cases for the second year in a row. The surge is driven mainly by declining vaccination rates & Outbreaks in unvaccinated communities. It raises serious concerns that the country could: lose its measles elimination status. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were ordered by NASA to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation on Friday as a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak of air on its portion of the orbital laboratory.

Carnival's Mardi Gras diverts to rescue nine people from a disabled boat off Florida, a reminder of cruise ships' role as first responders at sea. Despite headline-grabbing hantavirus and norovirus outbreaks, booking data shows cruise demand holding firm, with travelers and agents largely unfazed and 2026 sailings still filling. And Astoria, Oregon prepares for about 28,000 cruise passengers across 12 ocean calls in 2026, a concentrated economic boost for a town of 10,000 that's still well below pre-pandemic volumes.

The World Health Organization has declared an international public health emergency because of an outbreak of Ebola centered in the Democratic Republic of Congo that has so far likely killed over 130 people and sickened more than 600. The size of the new outbreak raises questions about whether there were delays in detection. We'll hear about this outbreak and about the U.S. role in containing the last major instance of the virus spreading, in 2014.Click here to read more reporting about this outbreak from NPR's Global Health Team.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Health authorities around the world are watching two outbreaks unfold -- an outbreak of Hantavirus and an Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo. We dig into the risk and we hear your questions about the diseases. Our guest is Toronto infectious disease specialist Dr. Allison McGeer.

Why are cruise ships prone to disease outbreaks? Between the hantavirus and now another cruise ship in Bordeaux with an outbreak of norovirus - why are we hearing of so many outbreaks?Joining Andrea to discuss is Dr. Vikram Niranjan, Assistant Professor in Public Health in the University of Limerick.

In this episode I explore the astrology behind the deadly Hantavirus outbreak that is currently dominating global news headlines, specifically focusing on how it began around the recent Mars-Saturn conjunction, and demonstrating why ancient astrologers associated these alignments with plagues and pestilences. This is an alignment that we were nervous about and actually predicted in our year-ahead forecast for 2026, partially because it reminded me of the Mars-Saturn conjunction that took place in March and April of 2020. During that time, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns just as Mars and Saturn came together in Capricorn and Aquarius. I review clips from our previous forecasts to show how we anticipated this, and break down exactly why these specific malefic conjunctions describe very difficult periods of time historically. To show how these alignments work in practice, I go through a detailed timeline of the current Hantavirus outbreak that began on a cruise ship over the past month, showing how perfectly the crisis mapped onto the exact Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction. I also walk through several other historical case studies from the past decade to demonstrate this recurring pattern. We look at how previous Mars-Saturn conjunctions coincided with major inflection points for the 2014 Ebola outbreak, the 2022 Monkeypox outbreak, and the naming of the AIDS pandemic back in 1982. Part of my goal here was not simply to highlight a successful prediction and show how well the outbreak ended up coinciding with the alignment, but also to demonstrate why I made the prediction based on other similar alignments I had seen in the past. A couple of interesting additional things I found in this episode are that the Hantavirus first became recognized during a major outbreak in the Korean War in the early 1950s, which coincided closely with a Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Later, the Hantavirus was officially named and categorized under two Mars-Saturn conjunctions in 1980 and 1982. Now, we are seeing a recurrence of both of those planetary alignments, with the Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction that started in April, right as a new major outbreak of the virus is happening in the world. Finally, I touch on the underlying philosophy of mundane astrology: the idea that the planets are not necessarily causing events to happen, but rather they act as a timing mechanism that mirrors what is happening on Earth. Because repetition is the key to prediction in astrology, studying the alignments surrounding these current and past outbreaks can provide us with a framework for forecasting the future, and my hope is that this will provide a useful foundation for later studies.

In this newscast, I look at three current outbreaks occurring in Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda- Lassa fever, Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic fever and anthrax, respectively.

Outbreaks of HIV have become regular occurrences in Pakistan. And too frequently it is the children who suffer. In the city of Taunsa, for example, children have tested positive for HIV while their parents have not. So what has been going on? Ghazal Abbasi investigates what and who is to blame. With the help of a staff insider and undercover recording in the city's main hospital, the BBC finds shocking lapses in medical protocol. Medicine vials and syringes are often reused for different children. Cross-contamination seems inevitable. But the local authorities deny the hospital is at the centre of the problem. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Many of our best surveillance tools today that were originally built to target specific diseases like polio and malaria have become critical infrastructure for outbreak response and early warning across a wide range of pathogens. This includes laboratory networks, diagnostic tools, and community health workers—all of which play vital roles in broader outbreak preparedness. In today's episode, two experts who have helped create platforms to monitor and respond to specific diseases explain how those systems have been leveraged to detect and respond to outbreaks of all kinds. Hamid Jafari served as Director of Polio Eradication for the World Health Organization's Eastern Mediterranean Region, and Krystal Burungi Mwesiga is an entomologist at the Uganda Virus Research Institute, where she works as a research and outreach associate with the Target Malaria, a not-for-profit research consortium. We kick off by discussing how these disease-specific surveillance platforms work, then broaden the conversation to how they've been adapted to respond to other outbreaks—and what can be done to make these tools even stronger. This episode is produced in partnership with the United Nations Foundation as part of a series called "Before the Outbreak" that examines the role of disease surveillance in stopping the next pandemic.

What started as a small issue turned into a full-blown pest outbreak that almost wiped out the entire garden. Leaves getting wrecked, plants declining fast… the kind of situation every grower dreads.In this episode, Sly aka Loco joins us as we break down exactly what went wrong, how bad it got, and most importantly, how it was brought back under control.Support the show

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince return to MAHA News to unpack the ongoing tension between public health messaging, food industry practices, and the growing demand for transparency in medicine. The episode centers on how systemic incentives continue to shape outcomes in healthcare, with a focus on chronic disease, nutrition, and the role of regulatory bodies in influencing both treatment and prevention strategies. The hosts explore how narratives around food, pharmaceuticals, and long term health are formed, questioning whether current systems are designed to improve outcomes or simply manage symptoms. They also examine how information flows through media and institutions, and why more people are beginning to challenge long standing assumptions about diet, disease, and medical authority. From policy discussions to cultural shifts, the conversation highlights the increasing pressure for accountability across both the healthcare system and the industries that support it.

Howie and Harlan discuss the end of flu season, vaccine effectiveness, and the challenge of rebuilding public confidence in immunization.

In Episode 60 of The Ultimate Assist, Alix Meyer returns with one warning: the trap isn't coming — it's already here.Is Real ID just an airport upgrade… or the foundation of a digital surveillance state?Are we voluntarily opting into a system that could one day decide where we work, whether we travel, or even how much carbon we're “allowed” to consume?Alix breaks down her concept of “weaponized architecture” — systems that appear helpful on the surface but are built to control beneath it. From biometric databases and facial recognition to what she calls the “Internet of Bodies,” she argues that Americans are being nudged — not forced — into a digital identity framework that may ultimately reshape freedom itself.The conversation turns explosive when she questions:Are measles outbreaks being used to manufacture public consent?Has California effectively “medically seceded” from federal authority?Is a social credit-style system closer than we think?Are digital IDs the next opt-in control mechanism?Whether you agree with her or not, this episode will challenge your assumptions about privacy, health freedom, and the true cost of convenience.Are we protecting ourselves… or building our own cage?Understanding Hypophosphatemia: Recognition, Diagnosis, and TreatmentEndocrine experts distinguish Hypophosphatemia from osteoporosis & osteomalaciaListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Over the past year, outbreaks of measles, a highly transmissible virus, have affected thousands of unvaccinated people across Canada, Mexico and the United States. With more than 5,000 cases and sustained transmission during 2025, Canada lost its measles elimination status in October. And the United States and Mexico could lose elimination certification later this year. To what extent are current outbreaks driven by changing immunization practices or attitudes towards vaccination? How might losing measles elimination status impact health security in North America and beyond? What will it take to stop the current outbreaks and re-ignite progress towards global measles elimination? Listen to this broadcast from the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security with Natasha Crowcroft, Vice President, Infectious Diseases and Vaccination Programs, Public Health Agency of Canada; William Moss, Professor and Executive Director of the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health; and Daniel Salas, Executive Manager, Comprehensive Immunization Special Program, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), regarding measles outbreaks and elimination in the North American context and the implications of sustained measles transmission for regional and global health security. Katherine E. Bliss, CSIS Senior Fellow and Director, Immunizations and Health Systems Resilience with the Global Health Policy Center, will moderate.

Last week, South Carolina officials reported that measles is transmitting rapidly in the state, with 789 confirmed cases so far. South Carolina is the fifth state to accumulate at least 100 measles cases since January 2025, joining Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas (where the first cases in 2025 were reported). During the current outbreaks, over 150 children have been hospitalized with measles; two children and one adult (all unvaccinated) have died from measles complications, the first such deaths in the U.S. in a decade.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!We're doing a deep dive.One of the most frequently asked questions from readers over the last few weeks has been about the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) hiring and training practices.

What does the future of public health look like when cutting-edge technology collides with persistent, preventable disease threats?  Senior Vice President of Health at ICF and ASTHO alum John Auerbach joins us to break down how artificial intelligence can be responsibly and realistically introduced into public health workflows. He outlines five practical, low-cost steps agencies of any size can take to start using AI today, explains the leadership mindset needed to build staff confidence, and explores how AI can both spread and counter misinformation when used thoughtfully.  Later, Jessica Baggett, Senior Advisor for Public Health Strategy and Response at ASTHO, unpacks why measles elimination status is back in the spotlight after the worst year for measles cases in more than 30 years. She explains what “elimination” really means, why it doesn't mean zero cases, what's driving recent outbreaks, and why vaccination remains the most effective public health tool.Leveraging Public Health Assets in Medicaid Managed Care | ASTHOWebinar Registration - Zoom

David Dodd, CEO of GeoVax, joins The Steve Gruber Show for a critical discussion about America's resurging battle with measles, and why the country now stands on the verge of losing its decades-old “measles-free” status. Dodd explains how 2025's outbreaks, especially those spreading through unvaccinated and undervaccinated communities, are undermining past decades of public-health progress. He argues that declining vaccination rates, vaccine hesitancy, and disrupted routine immunizations during the COVID-19 era have combined to let measles make a forceful comeback. Dodd calls for renewed attention to immunization, public-health infrastructure, and vaccine innovation, warning that without decisive action, we could see further outbreaks, rising hospitalizations, and a full rollback of the gains once thought secure.

Voles, gophers, and ground squirrels are more than a nuisance — they can devastate vineyards if left unchecked. In this episode, host Fritz Westover sits down with Kelly Mulville of Paicines Ranch and Newt Wimer, an agricultural innovator, to discuss practical, sustainable ways to manage these vertebrate pests. Kelly shares his firsthand experience with a sudden vole outbreak at Paicines Ranch — one of the worst he's ever seen — and explains how quickly the damage escalated. He walks through the telltale signs of vole damage, how girdling kills vines, and why population cycles and rainfall patterns play a role in outbreaks. Newt provides insight into developing an organic-approved, non-poisonous control technology that uses liquid CO₂ to safely and efficiently manage underground pests without harming predators or soil ecology. Together, they emphasize that pest management must balance ecological health, economics, and innovation. Listeners will learn how combining predator support (owls, weasels), physical barriers, and new technologies can help reduce damage sustainably. The conversation also highlights ongoing efforts at Paicines Ranch to create regenerative systems that share successes and failures openly, helping the vineyard community at large. In this episode, you will hear: Voles, gophers, and ground squirrels can cause extensive vineyard damage, especially through girdling and root feeding. Outbreaks are cyclical and may correspond with wetter years that promote vole breeding. Physical barriers like vole tubes and underground fencing can protect vines—but must be properly installed and buried. Encouraging natural predators such as owls and weasels significantly supports organic pest control. New cryogenic CO₂ technology offers a fast, organic-approved, and cost-effective solution for underground pest management.

E. coli O157:H7 is one of the leading causes of severe foodborne illness, and romaine lettuce has repeatedly been implicated in widespread outbreaks of this pathogen A Cornell University study that traced contamination from field to table found that irrigation practices are the dominant factor in whether lettuce becomes a carrier of E. coli Lettuce irrigated with untreated surface water sprayed overhead carried the greatest contamination risk, while switching to furrow or drip irrigation reduced illness by over 96% The study showed that consumer washing only lowered risk by 28%, reinforcing that on-farm prevention through safer irrigation is essential to protect lettuce before harvest Although prevention starts with better farm practices, there are still strategies to lower your risk at home, including staying updated on recalls, choosing fresher local produce, washing and storing them properly, and even growing your own food
