Acute health effects associated with satellite-determined cyanobacterial blooms in a drinking water source in Massachusetts
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, 20(1).
author keywords: Remote sensing; Drinking water; Human illness; Cyanobacteria; Harmful algal blooms; Satellite imagery; Respiratory; Gastrointestinal; Dermal
MeSH headings : Acute Disease; Air Pollutants / analysis; Cyanobacteria; Drinking Water / microbiology; Emergency Service, Hospital / statistics & numerical data; Environmental Monitoring; Eutrophication; Gastrointestinal Diseases / epidemiology; Humans; Massachusetts / epidemiology; Respiratory Tract Diseases / epidemiology; Satellite Imagery; Skin Diseases / epidemiology; Water Pollutants
TL;DR:
A significant positive association was demonstrated between satellite-derived cyanobacterial concentrations in source water and respiratory illness occurring 2 days later, and future studies will require direct measures of cyanotoxins and health effects associated with exposure to cyanobacteria-impacted drinking water sources.

Repeated holdout cross-validation of model to estimate risk of Lyme disease by landscape characteristics
author keywords: repeated holdout; cross validation; Lyme disease; landscape characterization; model validation
MeSH headings : Bias; Environment; Humans; Incidence; Lyme Disease / epidemiology; Lyme Disease / transmission; Maryland / epidemiology; Models, Biological; Residence Characteristics; Risk Assessment / methods

Structural analysis of biofilm formation by rapidly and slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria.
Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
MeSH headings : Biofilms / growth & development; Colony Count, Microbial; Culture Media / chemistry; Environmental Microbiology; Image Processing, Computer-Assisted; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Mycobacterium / growth & development; Time Factors
TL;DR:
Although it is a slowly growing species in the laboratory, a clinical isolate of M. avium developed more culturable biofilm in potable water in 72 h than any of the 10 RGM examined, suggesting some advantage that MAC has over RGM in low-nutrient environments.

Serologic evaluation of human microcystin exposure

MeSH headings : Bacterial Toxins / blood; Bacterial Toxins / poisoning; Brazil; Environmental Exposure / analysis; Humans; Microcystins / blood; Microcystins / poisoning; Renal Dialysis; Toxemia / blood; Toxemia / etiology
TL;DR:
Serum concentrations of free microcystins were consistently lower than MMPB quantification of total microCystins: free micro Cystins as measured by ELISA were only 8–51% of totalMicrocystin concentrations as detected by the GC/MS method, while after intravenous exposure episodes, they found evidence of microcyStins in human serum in free and protein‐bound forms, though the nature of the protein‐ bound forms is uncertain.
