  1. Most GAS infections are mild and self-limited. However, invasive GAS (iGAS) infections, such as bacteremia, meningitis, or empyema, are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The focus of this Communicable Disease (CD) Manual is on the public health management of iGAS infections.

  3. The CDPH Infectious Diseases Branch (IDB) conducts surveillance, investigation, control, and prevention of many important infectious diseases in California, including botulism, coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever), foodborne, waterborne, vector-borne, zoonotic, and emerging infectious diseases.

  4. Workers in this industry can inhale crystalline silica dust as they cut and finish countertops, which places them at risk for silicosis, a severe, incurable lung disease. In California, more than 70 cases of silicosis and at least 10 deaths have been identified among countertop fabrication workers.

  5. Squirrels, chipmunks, and hares serve as vertebrate reservoirs for SSHV (5). CSG virus infection is generally asymptomatic; however, after an incubation period of 3–7 days, a febrile illness may develop, and central nervous system involvement may lead to encephalitis or meningoencephalitis (6).

  6. No matter the germ, there are six points at which the chain can be broken and a germ can be stopped from infecting another person. The six links include: the infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host.

  8. Managing reservoirs of multihost pathogens often plays a crucial role in effective disease control. However, reservoirs remain variously and loosely defined. We propose that reservoirs can only be understood with reference to defined target populations.
