and trends of select communicable diseases among Alameda County residents from 2007 to 2013. Per Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) (§2500, §2505, §2593, §2641.5‐2643.20, §2800‐2812)1, health care providers and laboratories are required to report known or suspected cases of select conditions by notifying the local health de- partments of their patients’ residing jurisdictions. Reports to the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) are received via telephone, fax or electronic transmission. The list of Title 17 reportable conditions change periodically depending on public health needs and mandates as evaluated by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the California Conference of Local Health Officers (CCLHO); changes from 2007 to 2013 have been documented in this report (Table 1). Only communicable diseases managed by the Acute Communicable Disease (ACD) Unit of ACPHD are included. The following reportable conditions managed by other ACPHD units are excluded from this report: high-grade cervical precancers; cancers; disorders characterized by lapses in consciousness; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syn- drome (AIDS); chancroid; Chlamydia trachomatis infections, including lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV); gonococcal infections; chronic hepatitis B and C infections; pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); pesticide-related illness or injury; syphilis; and tuberculosis. In addition, because the City of Berkeley is a health jurisdiction separate from Alameda County, incidents of diseases in Berkeley residents are not included in this report. Data Sources Disease incidents: Multiple sources of data were used to calculate disease frequency and incidence in this report: 1. Alameda County Communicable Disease Surveillance System (CDSS): For all condi- tions with the exception of select enteric infections (see description below), Creutzfeldt- Jacob Disease (CJD) and other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), infant botulism, animal rabies and outbreaks occurring in food-service facilities, data were entered into the Alameda County Communicable Disease Surveillance System database by ACD staff. Case age and year of occurrence were calculated based on date of report to ACPHD. 2. California Emerging Infections Program (CEIP): CEIP is one of ten Emerging Infec- tions Program sites funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to perform surveillance on diseases of special interest. CEIP staff actively identify cases of Section 1: Background Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 2 select conditions by searching laboratory or hospital records within their catchment area, which includes Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco Counties, and the City of Berke- ley. Because case identification and demographic information are more comprehensive by this method, we elected to use CEIP data to calculate incidence for the following reportable conditions: Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD) and other transmissible spongiform encepha- lopathies (TSE), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), influenza deaths in persons aged 0-64, salmonellosis, shiga toxin-producing E. coli infections, and typhoid fever. Case age and year of occurrence were calculated based on different dates for these conditions as defined by CEIP convention: date of death was used for CJD/TSE; date of diagnosis was used for HUS; and date of specimen collection was used for the remaining conditions. 3. CDPH Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program (IBTPP): The IBTPP program is a statewide resource that provides healthcare providers with consultation and antitoxin for cases of botulism occurring in infants between 0 and 52 weeks of age. Because IBTPP is the only source of antitoxin available, case reports of infant botulism are com- plete and were used for this analysis. Case age and year of occurrence were calculated using date of case referral to IBTPP. 4. Alameda County Public Health Laboratory (ACPHL): ACPHL performs all testing of potential animal rabies cases in Alameda County. A list of all animals that tested positive for rabies was provided by ACPHL and used for this analysis. Year of disease occurrence was calculated based on test result date. 5. National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS): In Alameda County, foodborne out- breaks are investigated by Alameda County Environmental Health Department with assis- tance from CEIP; final reports are submitted to CDPH. CDPH reports waterborne and foodborne disease outbreaks for all California local health jurisdictions to CDC via NORS. Data on all Alameda County foodborne outbreaks reported to NORS were used for this analysis. Year of outbreak occurrence was calculated based on date of report to Alameda County Environmental Health Department. Population Estimates2: The population size of Alameda County were estimated by the California Department of Finance (DOF) and the decennial Censuses. For July 1st estimates from each year from 2007 to 2011, the age and sex distributions were assumed to change linearly with given values from Census 2000 to Census 2010, with the total number of persons taken from DOF estimates. Since data in this report are for 2007 to 2013, the midpoint population estimate is from July 1, 2010. Population estimates for 2012 and 2013 population were from Esri (ArcGIS Desktop: Release 10.4. Redlands, CA: Envi- ronmental Systems Research Institute). The 2010 midpoint Alameda County population excluding Berkeley residents was used as the denominator for average annual crude incidence rate (IR) calcu- lations for most disease conditions (see “Rate Calculation and Interpretation” for description). Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 3 Comparison Data Sources: In Section 3: Summary of Select Communicable Diseases, rate comparisons were made between Alameda County and select jurisdictions. Comparison data sources are as follows: 1. National rates: For campylobacteriosis, E. coli O157, salmonellosis and shigellosis, comparison rates were obtained from the CDC Foodborne Diseases Active Surveil- lance Network (FoodNet) annual surveillance reports3-9. For all other nationally notifi- able conditions, comparison rates were obtained from the Summary of Notifiable In- fectious Diseases and Conditions published by CDC in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2007-201310-16. 2. California and local health jurisdiction rates: Comparison rates of Title 17 report- able diseases in California, Contra Costa County, the City and County of San Francisco and Santa Clara County were obtained from the Yearly Summaries of Selected General Communicable Diseases in California, 2001-201017 and 2011-201418. Rate Calculations and Interpretation Crude Incidence Rate This reports presents both the number and crude incidence rates (IR) of reportable disease inci- dents occurring in Alameda County. Crude IRs describe the incidence of disease in relation to the size of the population at risk for developing disease and the time period observed; standardizing the frequency of disease using this method allows for direct comparisons of disease incidence across two or more populations of different sizes. For this report, the crude IR is defined as the number of new disease incidents occurring in 100,000 people at risk for infection during a specific time period. The types of crude IRs are calculated in this report are as follows: 1. Average annual crude incidence rate: This was calculated by first determining the aver- age number of cases occurring annually for each condition from 2007 to 2013, then divid- ing this seven-year average number of cases by the appropriate midpoint 2010 population of Alameda County. This number is then multiplied by 100,000 to produce the average crude incidence rate of disease per 100,000 residents per year. 2. Annual crude incidence rate: For select conditions, annual rates were calculated to exam- ine trends in disease incidence from 2007-2013. The annual crude IR is calculated for each year of interest by dividing the number of disease incidents occurring in that year by the number of residents in Alameda County in the same year, then multiplied by 100,000 to produce the annual crude IR per 100,000 residents per year. 3. Sex-, Age- and Race/Ethnicity-specific crude incidence rate: For select conditions, crude IRs were also calculated for select demographic characteristics. For example, in order Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 4 to determine the average annual crude IR of a certain disease among women, the calcula- tion is done by dividing the total number of disease incidents occurring in females from 2007 to 2013 by seven to obtain the average annual number of cases in women over the seven-year period of interest, then dividing by the number of women residing in Alameda County in 2010. Crude IRs were not calculated for cases with unknown sex, age or race/ ethnicity group because no denominator exists for these groups, and is denoted by “NC” in all tables. Confidence Intervals and their Interpretation2 In addition to crude IRs, confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the reliability of the rates, which are subject to random variation. A 95% confidence interval (95% CI) represents an estimate of the true underlying rate of disease should a population be repeatedly sampled; that is, if the same population is sampled 100 times, in 95 times a rate would be produced that falls within the 95% confidence interval. For example, in Alameda County the 2009 crude IR for amebiasis is 0.9 cases/100,000 residents, with a 95% CI of 0.5-1.6 (Table 2); this indicates that if the same sample was repeated 100 times in 2009, 95% of the time the IR estimate would have a value between 0.5 cases/100,000 residents and 1.6 cases/100,000 residents. The width of a 95% CI indicates the precision and variability of the rate estimate, as well as the size of the sample from which the estimate was drawn. The narrower the confidence interval, the larger the sample size and the more precise and less variable the estimate; conversely, large confidence intervals should be interpreted cautiously because they may represent estimates drawn from small samples and are therefore not reliable. Confidence intervals are also useful for comparing whether multiple rates are significantly different from one another. If the confidence intervals of two rates overlap, there is a chance that with re- peated sampling, the rates in these populations may be identical and therefore not statistically sig- nificantly different from one another. However, if the intervals do not overlap, we can more confi- dently interpret the rates to be truly different from one another even with repeated sampling. For example, in the case of annual rates for salmonellosis (Table 2), the 95% CIs of the 2007 (15.6 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 13.6-17.8]) and 2008 rates (13.8 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 11.9-15.9] overlap with one another, indicating that with repeated sampling, it is possible for the rate from 2007 and 2008 to have the same estimate value. In such a case, we do not interpret the rate of disease from either year to be statistically significantly different from one another. However, when comparing the 95% CI from 2008 with 2009 IR estimates (19.5 cases/100,000 residents [95% CI 17.4-22.0]), the confidence intervals do not overlap; in this case, because there is little chance of the value estimates of being identical even with repeated sampling, we interpret the IR of salmonel- losis in 2009 to likely be truly higher than the IR in 2008. Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 5 Small Numbers and Data Suppression2 Because rates calculated based on a small number of events are subject to a greater degree of vari- ability and are inherently less stable, this report uses a standard set by the Family Health Outcomes Project of the University of California, San Francisco19 to protect against providing misleading in- formation based on unstable rates. Rates were only calculated for subgroups where 10 or more dis- ease events occurred. Rates for subgroups with fewer than 10 events are not sufficient in providing a stable estimate and thus are not presented in this report; they are indicated in tables with an aster- isk (*). Similarly, in maps presented in this report, data for zip codes with fewer than 10 events are not presented. All frequency, rate and exact confidence interval calculations were performed using SAS version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Exact confidence intervals were approximated from the gamma dis- tribution.20 Line and bar graphs were produced using Microsoft Excel 2007. Maps were produced using Esri.

Where possible, additional analyses of se- lect diseases based on sex, age and race/ethnicity groups were conducted and presented in Tables 3 -7b in Section 6 of this report. A) Amebiasis The average annual incidence of amebiasis in Alameda County from 2007 to 2013 was 1.0 cases/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 0.5-1.7] (Table 1). Annual rates from 2009 to 2012 ranged from 0.9 cases/100,000 residents to 1.5 cases/100,000 residents and did not differ significantly from year to year (Table 2). Males had significantly higher rates of amebiasis compared to females (1.5 cases/100,000 men [95%CI 1.2-1.9] compared to 0.5 cases/100,000 women [95%CI 0.3-0.7]), and were comparable to state rates (Table 3). No significant differences in disease incidence were found among different age groups, whose distribution was similar to that observed in California. B) Campylobacteriosis Campylobacteriosis was the highest incidence reportable acute communicable disease in Alameda County from 2007 to 2013 (average annual rate: 23.9/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 21.5- 26.7]). Campylobacteriosis incidence in Alameda County was higher when compared to California and the nation, similar to rates in neighboring Contra Costa County from 2009 to 2013, and signifi- cantly lower than rates observed in San Francisco (Figure B1). Campylobacteriosis rates were significantly higher among males compared to females (26.2 cases/100,000 males [95%CI 24.8-27.7] compared to 21.3 cases/100,000 females [95%CI 20.0- 22.6]), a disparity also observed in state and national rates. Within the county, the highest average annual rates were observed in Piedmont and North and Central East Oakland, followed by Emery- ville, the central regions of Oakland, Pleasanton and parts of Livermore (Figure B2). 24.9 21.1 22.8 23.2 23.8 25.6 26.2 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Year CA FoodNet -US Alameda Co.

While rates remained highest in children under 10 years old from 2007 to 2013, rates among 35-44 year olds increased significantly when comparing rates in 2007 (16.5 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 11.6 -22.8]) to 2013 (32.5 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 25.3-41.2]). In con- trast, this change in age distribution over time was not observed in Cali- fornia or national rates (Figure B4). Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 13 C) Coccidioidomycosis Incidence of coccidioidomycosis remained stable from 2007 to 2013, averaging 1.7 cases/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 1.1-2.6] (Table 2 and Figure C1). Alameda County rates were similar to those observed in neighboring Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties, and significantly lower than state and national rates. Locally, incidence rates in men were higher than in women (2.6 cases/100,000 men [95%CI 2.2-3.1] compared to 0.9 cases/100,000 women [95%CI 0.6-1.2]) (Table 3), which was also mirrored in the state and nation. Rates of coccidioidomycosis did not dif- fer significantly among persons aged 15 and older.

Similar to the cases occurring elsewhere in the continental U.S., Alameda County cases acquire disease through travel to countries endemic for dengue infection, which typi- cally occur abroad but are not identified until cases returned to Alameda County.21 Regions within the U.S. where dengue is endemic are the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa, Guam and Puerto Rico, which experienced an islandwide epidemic in 2007. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) observed increases in the number of dengue outbreaks starting in 2010.22 In addition to the historically endemic regions of the Caribbean and Latin America, Southeast Asia and Western Pa- cific, dengue outbreaks were reported in Western Europe in 2012 and Florida in 2013. E) Encephalitis Incidence of encephalitis (all causes) in Alameda County averaged 1.7 cases/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 1.1-2.5] (Table 2). While the number and rates of encephalitis did not differ signifi- cantly from 2007 to 2011, the number of encephalitis cases reported in 2012-2013 were much lower than previous years (Table 1). This decrease may be attributable to a programmatic change at the California Encephalitis Network (CEN) in 2012. CEN was changed to the Neurologic Surveil- lance and Testing Program and required preapproval for specimen submission; this change in test- ing criteria may have resulted in fewer specimens from suspect encephalitis cases qualifying for testing. Most encephalitis cases had unknown etiology. No differences were observed comparing rates in males and females (Table 3). Incidence among children under 10 years of age was significantly higher compared to incidence in those over 15 years of age (5.5 cases/100,000 children 1-4 years old [95%CI 3.69-7.91] and 4.6 cases/100,000 children 5-9 years old [95%CI 3.1-6.5], compared to rates ranging from 0.8 cases/100,000 residents to 2.1 cases/100,000 residents among persons older than 15 years) (Table 4). F) Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections Trends in total STEC incidence were generally higher in 2011-2013 compared to 2007-2010, with a significant increase between 2010 and 2011 (0.9 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 0.5-1.6] in 2010 compared to 2.4 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 1.7-3.4] in 2011) (Table 2 and Figure F1). Nota- bly, the majority of increase in cases starting in 2011 was due to infections by non-O157 serotypes (Figure F2). The CDC Laboratory-based Enteric Disease Surveillance (LEDS) network, comprised of state public health laboratories, has also observed a similar trend: the national incidence of O157 infections has remained stable since 2001 but a steady increase in non-O157 or unknown subtypes has been observed since 2006.23 In 2012, approximately half of the specimens tested within the LEDS network were either non-O157 or of unknown serotype. Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 15 This rise in non-O157 incidence may be attributable to the increased use of culture-independent diagnostic tests in the clinical setting, leading to greater case-finding compared to earlier years when this technology was not widely available.24 In Alameda County, the most common non-O157 sero- types isolated from 2007 to 2013 were O26 (N=12), O111 (N=9), and O103 (N=8). STEC infections were significantly more common among children 1-4 years of age than those five and older (13.1 cases/100,000 1-4 year old residents [95%CI 10.2-16.6], compared to rates ranging from 1.2 cases/100,000 residents to 3.3 cases/100,000 residents among those 5 years and older) (Table 4). Among E. coli O157 cases, Alameda county rates for all years, except 2009 and 2010, were significantly higher than those observed in California, which ranged from 0.6 cases/100,000 residents to 0.8 cases/100,000 residents in 2007-2013 (Figure F3). No significant differences were observed when comparing groups by sex or race/ethnicity. E. coli O157 infections were signifi- cantly more common among persons under 25 years of age in Alameda County compared to rates in California (Figure F4).

Incidence rates were highest in the northern part of Alameda County: Emeryville, Piedmont and North Oakland (Figure G1). As seen in state and na- tional trends, males had significantly higher rates of infection compared to females (7.7 cases/100,000 male residents [95% CI 6.9-8.5] compared to 5.2 cases/100,000 female residents [95% CI 4.6-5.9]) (Table 3). Incidence rates were higher among children under 10 years old com- pared to persons 15 and older (Table 4 and Figure G2). Age distribution generally mirrored that observed in California, except rates among persons younger than 25 were significantly higher in Alameda County.

Figure G1: Map of Average Annual Giardiasis Incidence in Alameda County, by Zip Code, 2007-2013 H) Malaria Malaria in Alameda County residents is acquired through travel to endemic countries. On average, incidence of malaria is higher in Alameda County compared to California rates (1.0 cases/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 0.6-1.7] compared to 0.3 cases/100,000 California residents), and gener- ally higher than rates in neighboring counties (Table 2 and Figure H1). Among Alameda County residents, no significant differences were observed when comparing groups by sex or age (Tables 3 and 4). Both sex and age distributions in Alameda County were similar to that observed in California; Alameda County rates were significantly higher than state rates in all persons over the age of 14, with the most pronounced difference in persons 35-44 years old (1.3 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 0.8-2.0] compared to 0.4 cases/100,000 in California) and those 65 years and older (1.2 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 0.6-2.0], compared to 0.2 cases/100,000 in California) (Figure H2).

As seen in Figure I1, this trend was driven by viral meningitis rates, which followed a similar trend; bacterial meningitis rates have remained relatively stable from 2007 to 2013, while rates of meningitis with unknown etiology have been steadily increasing since 2009 (from 1.2 cases/100,000 residents to 2.0 cases/100,000 resi- dents) (Table 2). CDPH reported a statewide increase in viral meningitis outbreaks in 2010 due to concurrent circulation of multiple enteroviruses, coxackieviruses and West Nile Virus25, which may have been reflected in increased Alameda County incidence during the same time period. Geo- graphically, places with highest incidence of all-cause meningitis were: Emeryville, West Oakland, parts of Central East Oakland, parts of Alameda, and Livermore (Figure I2). 1.6 1.1 0.9 0.9 0.8 1.1 0.8 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Year CA Alameda Co.

During this outbreak, Alameda County experi- enced significantly higher rates of disease compared to California as a whole (2010: 29.4 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 26.7-32.4] compared to 24.6 cases/100,000 residents in CA; 2011: 15.0 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 13.0-17.1] compared to 8.0 cases/100,000 residents in CA). General and sex-specific trends from 2007 to 2013 mirror those observed in California and the U.S.; females experienced higher incidence than males (10.3 cases/100,000 female residents [95% CI 9.4-11.2] compared to 9.1 cases/100,000 male residents [95%CI 8.2-10.0]) (Table 3).

Regions with the next highest average annual rates were: Ashland, Cherryland, East Oakland, eastern area of Hayward, Fairview, northern parts of Pleasanton, San Leandro and San Lorenzo (Figure J2). When examining differences among race/ethnicity groups, average incidence was significantly higher in Hispanic residents compared to all other groups (13.2 cases/100,000 Hispanic residents [95%CI 11.8-14.8] compared to rates ranging from 4.5 cases/ 100,000 residents to 10.1 cases/ 100,000 residents in other groups) (Table 6a and Figure J3). Incidence in Asian/Pacific Islander (API) (4.5 cases/ 100,000 residents [95%CI 3.7-5.4]) and Black residents (6.4 cases/100,000 resi- dents [95%CI 5.0-7.9]) were significantly lower than in Hispanic and White residents (13.2 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 11.8-14.8] and 10.1 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 9.0-11.2], re- spectively). Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 19 Pertussis incidence among race/ethnicity groups differed significantly from year to year (Table 6b). No rates were calculated for most race/ethnicity groups before 2010 because of low frequency of disease. During outbreak years (2010-2011), the highest rates were observed among Hispanic resi- dents (41.6 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 34.9-49.2] in 2010 and 28.3 cases/ 100,000 residents [95%CI 22.9-34.6] in 2011). When the outbreak subsided in 2012 and 2013, no significant differ- ences in incidences were observed between White and Hispanic residents, while both groups still had significantly higher rates than API residents. This mirrors trends reported within California that pertussis disproportionately affected Hispanic residents during the 2010 outbreak. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 2010 2011 2012*2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 API Black Hispanic White * Unstable rates in 2007-2009 and 2012 notpresented due to small numbers Figure J3: Annual Pertussis Incidence in Alameda County, by Race/ Ethnicity, 2010-2013 Figure J2: Map of Average Annual Pertussis Incidence in Alameda County, 2007-2013 Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 20 K) Salmonellosis (non-Typhoidal) Salmonellosis is the second-highest incidence disease in Alameda County (average annual rate: 16.1 cases/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 14.1-18.3]) (Table 2). Rates were stable from 2007 to 2013 (ranging from 13.8 cases/100,000 residents to 19.5 cases/100,000 residents), with the exception of 2008-2009, when 2009 incidence was significantly higher than 2008 incidence (19.5 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 17.3-22.0] in 2009 compared to 13.8 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 11.9-15.9] in 2008). In most years, Alameda County rates were significantly higher than that observed in Cali- fornia and neighboring Contra Costa County, and comparable to rates observed in the U.S. and San Francisco (Figure K1). Figure K1: Annual Salmonellosis (non-Typhoid) Incidence in Alameda County (in com- parison with Contra Costa County, San Francisco County, California and the United States), 2007-2013 The most common serotypes identified in all cases from 2007 to 2013 were: Enteriditis (18.8%), Typhimurium (9.8%), Heidelberg (8.2%), Newport (5.5%), and S. I 4,[5],12:i- (5.3%). No significant differences in inci- dence were found when compar- ing female and male cases.

Figure K2: Map of Average Annual Salmonellosis (non-Typhoidal) Incidence in Alameda County, 2007-2013 Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 21 When examining differences among race/ethnicity groups, incidence among API (19.2 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 17.5-20.9]) and Hispanic (16.5 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 14.9-18.2]) residents were significantly higher than incidence among Black (12.1 cases/100,000 [95%CI 10.2-14.2]) and White residents (12.2 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 11.0-13.5]) (Table 7b and Figure K3). Rates among API and Hispanic residents of Alameda County significantly exceed rates for those groups within California and the nation, with API Alameda County residents experi- encing rates nearly twice as high as API groups in California. Annual trends show that while no significant differences were seen among race/ethnicity groups in Alameda County in most years, rates among API residents were significantly higher than those in White and Black residents in 2011 (23.3 cases/100,000 API residents [95%CI 18.8-28.7] compared to 10.8 cases/100,000 White residents [95%CI 8.0-14.2] and 11.6 cases/100,000 Black residents [95%CI 7.1-17.9]) and 2013 (21.1 cases/100,000 API residents [95%CI 16.8-26.1] compared to 8.3 cases/100,000 White resi- dents [95%CI 5.9-11.4] and 10.5 cases/100,000 Black residents [95%CI 6.2-16.5]) (Table 7b).

On average, infants un- der one year of age had the highest rates of disease (85.7 cases/100,000 infants [95%CI 70.4- 103.5]), significantly more so than children 1-4 years old (63.0 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 56.4 -70.2]), who in turn had significantly higher rates than children 5-9 years old (30.5 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 26.3-35.1]) (Table 4 and Figure K4). Rates among those 10 years and older did not significantly differ in each age group. Compared to California as a whole, Alameda County had significantly higher disease incidence in all groups under 35 years of age (Figure K4). Age trends were similar across years, except in 2011 and 2012 when rates in children 1-4 years old were higher than those in infants under one year of age (Table 7a and Figure K5). Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 22 Figure K5: Annual Salmonellosis (non-Typhoid) Incidence in Alameda County (in comparison with California), by Age, 2007-2013 High frequency of disease allows for incidence comparison among com- bined age and race/ethnicity sub- groups (Table 7c). Disease incidence was most pronounced in API resi- dents younger than 5 years of age (124.5 cases/100,000 residents [95% CI 84.1-177.6]), significantly higher than in Hispanic residents of the same age group (52.6 cases/100,000 resi- dents [95%CI 30.7-84.1]). There were no significant disparities among other age and race/ethnicity group combi- nations, though rates were too unsta- ble in Black residents and residents aged 65 and older to include in com- parisons. Analysis of Alameda County data indicate that incidence of salmonellosis was disproportionately higher among API and Hispanic children. Recently, CEIP conducted an exploratory analysis exam- ining differences in domestically-acquired salmonellosis incidence from 2008 to 2013 by census- tract poverty level, age, race/ethnicity groups and salmonella serotype in the CA FoodNet catch- ment area.27 More study is needed to identify the epidemiologic risk factors for higher rates of in- fections in certain subgroups of Alameda County residents. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Annual Incidence of Salmonellosis (non-Typhoid) in Alameda County by Age, 2007-2013 < 1 1-4 5-9 10-14 15-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65+ 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Annual Incidence by Age, CA < 1 1-4 5-9 10-14 15-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65+ Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 23 3.2 4.4 2.2 2.4 3.5 3.1 3.5 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Year CA Alameda Co.FoodNet -US San Francisco Co.Contra Costa Co. L) Shigellosis Incidence of shigellosis (all subtypes) has remained stable from 2007 to 2013 (average annual rate: 3.2 cases/100,000 residents per year [95%CI 2.3-4.3]), with the exception of 2008 to 2009, when rates significantly decreased in 2009 before stabilizing in subsequent years (4.4 cases/100,000 resi- dents [95%CI 3.4-5.7] in 2008 compared to 2.2 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 1.5-3.2] in 2009) (Table 2 and Figure L1). Rates in Alameda County were generally similar to those observed in Cali- fornia and Contra Costa County, slightly lower than national rates and significantly lower than rates in San Francisco. Figure L1: Annual Shigellosis Incidence in Alameda County (in comparison with Contra Costa County, San Francisco County, California and the United States), 2007-2013 Similar to California and U.S. distributions, men had higher disease rates than women (3.7 cases/100,000 men [95%CI 3.1-4.2] compared to 2.6 cases/100,000 women [95%CI 2.2-3.1]) (Table 3), and incidence is significantly highest among children under 10 years of age (11.4 cases/100,000 children 1-4 years old [95%CI 8.7-14.7] and 6.3 cases/100,000 children 5-9 years old [95%CI 4.5-8.6]), decreasing in older age groups, with a small increase in adults aged 25-34 (3.7 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 2.8-4.8]) (Table 4). Notable trends emerge when examining incidence by Shigella subgroups (Table 2, Figure L2 and Figure L3). Rates of group B shigellosis in Alameda County were consistently lower than national rates, while group D shigellosis rates were higher. Incidence of group D shigellosis has decreased from 2.7 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 1.9-3.7] in 2008 to 1.0 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 0.5-1.6] in 2013, while Group B shigellosis incidence increased from 2007 to 2013, from its lowest in 2010 (unstable rate not presented) to 2.1 cases/100,000 residents [95%CI 1.4-3.0] in 2013. Acute Communicable Diseases in Alameda County, 2007-2013 24 Incidence of group B shigellosis was significantly higher in men than women (1.4 cases/100,000 men [95%CI 1.1-1.8] compared to 0.7 cases/100,000 women [0.5-1.0]), while no differences were seen in rates by sex for group D shigellosis (Table 3). No significant incidence differences exist across age groups for group B shigellosis; however, incidence of group D shigellosis was highest in young children compared to older age groups (7.4 cases/100,000 1-4 year olds [95%CI 5.3-10.1] compared to 0.8 cases/100,000 to 3.8 cases/100,000 in other age groups) (Table 4). M) Unusual Diseases Occurrences of select unusual diseases were reported from 2010 to 2013. None were recorded from 2007 to 2009.  2010: 15 cases of parapertussis and 1 case of Bordetella holmesii infection  2011: 13 cases of parapertussis and 1 case of visceral leishmaniasis  2012: 3 cases of parapertussis and 1 case of Bordetella holmesii infection  2013: 1 case of balamuthia and 4 cases of carbapenem-resistant enterobactericeae (outbreak at a single hospital) N) Vibriosis While incidence rates were not calculated due to low frequency, a notable increase in the number of vibriosis cases was observed in 2013, from a range of two to eight cases in previous years to 12 in 2013. We did not identify any epidemiological link or outbreak of vibriosis in Alameda County; however, an increase in vibriosis infections was observed at both the state and national level. In the summer of 2013, California noted a multijurisdictional outbreak28, while a 43% increase in 2013 national incidence (to 0.41 cases/100,000 residents) was observed compared to 2006-2008 national data9. 1.3 1.0 0.8 * 1.1 0.9 2.1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Year FoodNet -US Alameda Co. 1.8 2.7 1.2 1.6 1.8 1.6 1.0 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ra t e p e r 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 Year FoodNet -US Alameda Co.

Outbreaks in Food Service Facilities Outbreaks in food service facilities are investigated by the Alameda County Department of Environ- mental Health with coordinated effort and assistance from CEIP. From 2007 to 2013, 32 outbreaks were determined to be foodborne and reported to the National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) at CDC. Thirteen (40.6%) outbreaks were suspect or confirmed norovirus; the next most common etio- logic agents were Salmonella spp. (N=3) and scrombroid toxin (N=3) (Table 8). During this time period, the majority of investigations took place in restaurants (20/32) and twelve took place in other facilities such as banquet facilities, offices, schools and outdoor fairs. Annually, the number of outbreaks re- ported ranged from three to eight, with a median of four outbreaks per year. A median of eight cases were identified per outbreak, with a range of two to 76 cases (Table 8). Outbreaks in Non-Food Service Facilities Outbreaks in non-food service facilities are investigated by ACD. The most common type of outbreak investigated from 2007 to 2013 was gastrointestinal (GI) (70.5%), followed by scabies (not reportable to CDPH, 13.7%) and influenza-like illness (ILI) (13.3%) (Table 9). Overall, the number of outbreaks in- vestigated increased almost two-fold from 28 in 2007 to 61 in 2013. Among 201 GI outbreaks, almost all (96.5%) were attributed to norovirus; 21.6% of all GI outbreaks were lab-confirmed. The most com- mon outbreak settings were skilled nursing facilities (41.3%) and assisted living facilities (39.3%); few were reported from schools, daycares, camps or other group living settings. The median number of cases was 23.5 per outbreak and median outbreak duration was 8 days. Among 38 ILI outbreaks, 25 (65.8%) were attributable to Influenza A; 36.8% of all ILI outbreaks were lab-confirmed. ILI outbreaks occurred most commonly in skilled nursing faculties (50.0%), followed by assisted living facilities (23.7%). The median number of cases per outbreak was 19 cases, with a median outbreak duration of 14 days. Limited data were available for scabies outbreaks; most took place in hos- pital, acute care, post-acute care settings (43.6%), followed by skilled nursing facilities (25.6%). Lastly, one notable non-GI, non-ILI outbreak occurred in 2013; this outbreak involved 4 carbapenem-resistant enterobactericeae cases occurring in a hospital setting.
