NWS was eradicated in the United States in the 1960s, in Mexico in the 1970s, and in Central America in the early 2000s. However, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras have recently documented new cases, causing concern about continued northward spread. In addition, travel-associated cases are occasionally identified in people returning to the United States from areas where NWS is endemic, posing an ongoing threat of re-introduction to the United States. Raising awareness of NWS among healthcare providers will improve rapid diagnosis, appropriate management, and critical reporting to appropriate entities.During this COCA Call, a subject matter expert will outline the biology and life cycle of C. hominivorax, explain the current epidemiology in Central America, review guidance on how to identify infestations, and discuss how to appropriately manage and report cases of NWS in humans.PresentersRebecca Chancey, MDMedical OfficerDivision of Parasitic Diseases and MalariaNational Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious DiseasesCenters for Disease Control and PreventionMark Fox, MS, MS (Q & A Only)BiologistDivision of Parasitic Diseases and MalariaNational Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious DiseasesCenters for Disease Control and PreventionSusan P.
