Zika Virus Prevention: Summary for General Public in Puerto Rico (2:22)
Effective steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your community from the spread of Zika virus: cover and repel; remove collected water; keep mosquitoes out of your home; and if you’re pregnant and have sex, use condoms. For general public use in Puerto Rico.
Ebola and Contact Tracing (2:45)
The video describes contact tracing, a method used by CDC and partners to identify new Ebola cases quickly and isolate patients as soon as they show symptoms, preventing spread to others. The video demonstrates how even one missed contact can keep Ebola spreading and that careful tracing of contacts and isolating new cases can stop the outbreak.
Global Disease Detectives in Kibera (5:35)
The mini-documentary chronicles how the US reaches out to Kenya’s largest slum to offer aid in disease prevention and control. 30,000 residents routinely confer with community outreach workers in a campaign to learn more about emerging diseases, and simultaneously provide care for the families taking part. Benefits extend to Americans and the entire world as our disease detectives find new ways to provide early warning of global disease threats that respect no borders.
Responding to Outbreaks (6:25)
An outbreak of the Ebola virus hits in western Uganda and caused dozens of illnesses or deaths. In “Responding to Outbreaks”, a team of investigators from the CDC Special Pathogens Branch travels to Uganda. They work to bring the outbreak under control and learn more about the reservoir hosts for the Ebola and Marburg viruses.
The Road to Zero (5:32)
CDC responded to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, with the goal of getting to zero new cases in the affected countries and, just as important, keeping them at zero.
