Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,920
when a viral outbreak or dangerous
2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,080
bacteria threatens human life
3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,440
the CDC's disease detectives are often
4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,050
on the front lines they go in prepared
5
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:12,630
for anything because the diseases they
6
00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:16,109
study like Ebola hantavirus Marburg
7
00:00:16,109 --> 00:00:18,840
monkey pox and anthrax are some of the
8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,119
deadliest on earth my name is Brian
9
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:26,220
Amman I'm a disease ecologist with Viral
10
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:28,199
special pathogens branch here is the
11
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:29,279
Centers for Disease Control and
12
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:31,830
Prevention my job essentially is to go
13
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:34,500
out into areas where an outbreak has
14
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,570
occurred capture animals and test these
15
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:38,219
animals for ZOA notic viruses
16
00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:40,079
specifically for the ones that have
17
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:41,820
caused the outbreak probably the most
18
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:44,969
notable are Ebola and Marburg hantavirus
19
00:00:44,969 --> 00:00:47,219
and are some of the rain of viruses that
20
00:00:47,219 --> 00:00:48,870
occur here in the United States now I'm
21
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:50,039
gonna tell you about some of the stuff
22
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:52,230
that I take out into the field this is a
23
00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:54,000
harp trap it's called a harp trap
24
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,070
because it looks like a harp you can see
25
00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:57,780
these fishing this fishing line attached
26
00:00:57,780 --> 00:00:59,850
to the top and the bottom but these are
27
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:03,059
designed to catch bats and you can put
28
00:01:03,059 --> 00:01:04,619
them in front of caves or in flyaways
29
00:01:04,619 --> 00:01:06,299
and the bats will come and they'll hit
30
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:08,280
these lines and they'll get caught in
31
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,659
between here and it kind of messes with
32
00:01:09,659 --> 00:01:10,920
their flight and they sort of tumble
33
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,930
down in to this catch bag down here
34
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:14,310
where you can reach in and pull them out
35
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:16,860
we catch bats because we test them for
36
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:19,049
diseases we know they carry a variety of
37
00:01:19,049 --> 00:01:21,509
diseases some of which cause very severe
38
00:01:21,509 --> 00:01:25,049
illnesses in humans I have here a little
39
00:01:25,049 --> 00:01:28,619
GPS tracker this tracker is designed to
40
00:01:28,619 --> 00:01:30,450
go on to the back of a bat and what this
41
00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:31,920
will do is this will tell us where the
42
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,720
bat goes at night now the reason we're
43
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,820
doing this is because we think that the
44
00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:37,650
bats that have Marburg virus are going
45
00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:39,180
out and they're going into farmers
46
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:42,150
cultivated fruit crops they like mangoes
47
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:44,070
they like bananas they'll give it a
48
00:01:44,070 --> 00:01:45,600
little bite if they don't like it they
49
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,729
drop it on the ground and the next day
50
00:01:47,729 --> 00:01:49,710
or the next morning some child or some
51
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:51,329
family pet comes along and eats that
52
00:01:51,329 --> 00:01:53,759
fruit and becomes infected with Marburg
53
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:56,070
virus it could very easily start the
54
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:58,649
next outbreak so by knowing where these
55
00:01:58,649 --> 00:02:00,570
bats go at nighttime we can actually
56
00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:02,159
essentially build a risk map we can get
57
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:03,869
the message out that hey don't pick
58
00:02:03,869 --> 00:02:06,420
fruit up off the ground if it's been bit
59
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,610
and leave it alone these are our powered
60
00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:12,030
air respirator filters we like these
61
00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:13,770
because instead of wearing caving helmet
62
00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:16,710
with the half or a full face face yield
63
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:19,440
we can use these but this is a helmet
64
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,390
it's very industrial if you bang your
65
00:02:21,390 --> 00:02:22,470
head you're not going to fill it it's
66
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:24,180
extremely comfortable but you just
67
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,850
simply strap this on to your waist put
68
00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:28,980
that on your head and you're good to go
69
00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:33,390
this bag right here you can see it's
70
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:35,220
kind of a backpack and it's designed
71
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:37,470
actually to be a scuba diving bag now
72
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:39,960
one of the first things that go on our
73
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,080
snake chaps because when you're out
74
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,700
walking around in the jungle and I've
75
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:46,590
done this many times you you tend to
76
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:49,110
step closer or almost on a lot of
77
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:50,810
venomous snakes and these snake chaps or
78
00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:53,340
Kevlar lines so that if anything bites
79
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,380
the outside of this they won't go
80
00:02:55,380 --> 00:02:56,850
through and penetrate your pants and
81
00:02:56,850 --> 00:02:58,320
then your leg these are the snake
82
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,540
gaiters that we wear when we're hiking
83
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:02,760
around in the jungle they're a lot
84
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,590
shorter than the cave snake chaps that
85
00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:06,900
we wear but these are all much more
86
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,820
comfortable to walk around in steamy hot
87
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:11,070
jungles with that they're pretty simple
88
00:03:11,070 --> 00:03:13,410
to put on the the snake chaps that we
89
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:14,790
wear in the cave will actually extend
90
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:16,830
all the way up past your hip because
91
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:18,660
there's a good potential of walking past
92
00:03:18,660 --> 00:03:20,610
a rock ledge and having the snake come
93
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:21,959
out and give you a strike in your leg
94
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:25,590
and this is a half face respirator and
95
00:03:25,590 --> 00:03:27,930
the reason we use these instead of
96
00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:29,580
Packers out of the net is the poppers
97
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:31,530
can tend to be pretty heavy and if
98
00:03:31,530 --> 00:03:33,510
you're walking several kilometres
99
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:36,180
between each net that can deck entire
100
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:37,950
area tire you out especially in the heat
101
00:03:37,950 --> 00:03:39,959
and the humidity of the rainforests the
102
00:03:39,959 --> 00:03:42,720
way you put these on you simply put it
103
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,570
over your face like this and then hook
104
00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:47,400
it up and that provides a good seal and
105
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,630
when you couple that with the face
106
00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:54,330
shield now you're talking practically
107
00:03:54,330 --> 00:03:55,590
the same kind of protection you would
108
00:03:55,590 --> 00:03:57,330
get out of a chopper one of the most
109
00:03:57,330 --> 00:03:59,010
important pieces of our personal
110
00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:02,820
protective equipment are these gloves
111
00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:05,250
they're turtle skin New York City
112
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:06,900
Department of Corrections gloves they
113
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:09,000
have a Kevlar lining and this gives us
114
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,730
still some dexterity to take bats out of
115
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:13,140
gnats or to take them out of the case
116
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:15,900
but their bite resistant so the bats can
117
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:18,660
bite you with these gloves on and not go
118
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:20,279
through now some of the things that we
119
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,660
put in here that I don't have with me
120
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:24,120
are probably the most important is a
121
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,550
bottle spray bottle filled with micro
122
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:27,180
chem
123
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:28,800
and micro cam is a viral Seidel
124
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,229
detergent that we use as a disinfectant
125
00:04:31,229 --> 00:04:33,740
every time we take a bat out of the net
126
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,720
we will spray ourselves off starting
127
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,009
with our hands we go all the way up our
128
00:04:38,009 --> 00:04:40,370
arms we spray the face shield everything
129
00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:42,509
including the gown all the way down to
130
00:04:42,509 --> 00:04:45,389
our boots just on the off chance that if
131
00:04:45,389 --> 00:04:47,160
we did get something on us and we didn't
132
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,860
notice it and it potentially has virus
133
00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:51,300
in it that we hit it with this
134
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:53,130
disinfectant and it kills any kind of
135
00:04:53,130 --> 00:04:54,600
virus so that we don't take it back to
136
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,520
the vehicles we don't accidentally touch
137
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,660
it with our hands and put it in our
138
00:04:57,660 --> 00:04:59,910
mouth so everything gets sprayed off
139
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:02,340
each and every time I always take my own
140
00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:05,760
towel in the more rural areas towels are
141
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,500
typically washed and then hung over
142
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:10,139
bushes to dry and during this drying
143
00:05:10,139 --> 00:05:12,449
process there's a little fly called a
144
00:05:12,449 --> 00:05:15,210
tumbu fly or a mango fly that lays its
145
00:05:15,210 --> 00:05:18,539
eggs on the wet cloth and once you put
146
00:05:18,539 --> 00:05:20,370
that egg on your body it hatches and
147
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:21,539
burrows into your skin
148
00:05:21,539 --> 00:05:24,419
now if the towels aren't ironed then the
149
00:05:24,419 --> 00:05:26,400
egg isn't destroyed and it stays on the
150
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440
towel until you use it on your body to
151
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,110
dry off so I always take my own towels
152
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:33,660
because I don't trust that people iron
153
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:36,060
their towels last but not least I always
154
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:39,449
take this journal and I essentially
155
00:05:39,449 --> 00:05:41,760
write notes and letters home to my sons
156
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,159
when I'm out there I've got several
157
00:05:44,159 --> 00:05:46,919
years of of outbreak responses and field
158
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:49,080
research all written down in here for my
159
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,449
boys to read when they're old enough to
160
00:05:51,449 --> 00:05:53,460
understand and appreciate what's been
161
00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:55,289
going on these past years when I've been
162
00:05:55,289 --> 00:05:57,030
leaving for three and four weeks at a
163
00:05:57,030 --> 00:05:59,310
time we don't always have reliable
164
00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:01,139
cellular service we don't have email
165
00:06:01,139 --> 00:06:03,659
contact and a lot of times it can be
166
00:06:03,659 --> 00:06:05,580
days before I get to speak with them and
167
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:07,710
by me writing to them it makes me feel
168
00:06:07,710 --> 00:06:09,539
like I'm talking to them and it helps me
169
00:06:09,539 --> 00:06:11,400
deal with some of the homesickness that
170
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,840
I experienced when I leave my boys
171
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:16,080
behind what I hope that they get out of
172
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,560
it is a sense of adventure and knowing
173
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,940
that their dad was at least out there
174
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:23,070
trying to do something good for somebody
175
00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:25,199
somewhere this is some of the equipment
176
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:26,970
that I use out in the field
177
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:28,830
it helps me complete my work and it
178
00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:32,940
helps me complete it safely
179
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,650
by I'm Ryan Wallace and I'm a veterinary
180
00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:37,210
Abedini ologist with the US Centers for
181
00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:38,890
Disease Control and Prevention and this
182
00:06:38,890 --> 00:06:40,360
is what I bring with me when I go into
183
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,800
the field when I go out we're often
184
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,630
called on responses to aggressive
185
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,550
potentially rabid animals and walk long
186
00:06:45,550 --> 00:06:48,070
distances to try to find them and the
187
00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:49,540
people they've bitten and so we have to
188
00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:51,220
be able to carry everything with us on
189
00:06:51,220 --> 00:06:53,770
our backs to make sure we can properly
190
00:06:53,770 --> 00:06:55,870
assess those animals and the people that
191
00:06:55,870 --> 00:06:57,880
have been rabies is a virus it's the
192
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,700
deadliest disease in the world about a
193
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:02,620
99.9 percent fatality rates if you were
194
00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:04,270
to get it about fifty nine thousand
195
00:07:04,270 --> 00:07:06,130
people every year do die from rabies
196
00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:07,960
most of the animals that bite people
197
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,880
don't have rabies luckily here in the
198
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,740
United States rabies has been eliminated
199
00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:13,870
from our dog population but we do still
200
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:15,040
have to deal with it in numerous
201
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,530
wildlife species we sit in an office and
202
00:07:17,530 --> 00:07:20,350
wait for somebody to call us and say
203
00:07:20,350 --> 00:07:22,090
there is a rabid animal in their
204
00:07:22,090 --> 00:07:24,040
neighborhood at that point we have to
205
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,990
have everything ready to go that we
206
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:28,330
would possibly need to keep ourselves
207
00:07:28,330 --> 00:07:30,880
safe capture that animal assess it for
208
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,460
rabies and then be able to provide
209
00:07:33,460 --> 00:07:35,080
recommendations to the person who's
210
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,120
exposed so we'll start with the backpack
211
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,940
we have a throw net like I said these
212
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:44,470
rabid dogs do not like to sit still
213
00:07:44,470 --> 00:07:45,880
sometimes they're running away from us
214
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,230
sometimes they're running towards us
215
00:07:47,230 --> 00:07:49,660
this net can be useful to try to
216
00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:51,430
restrain that animal so we can come up
217
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:53,980
and give it a better assessment we're
218
00:07:53,980 --> 00:07:55,840
out doing vaccinations and we vaccinated
219
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,610
an animal and we need to give it a mark
220
00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,350
so that we don't vaccinate it again
221
00:07:59,350 --> 00:08:00,220
tomorrow
222
00:08:00,220 --> 00:08:02,290
well sometimes use the squirt gun just
223
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:03,670
to give it a little paint on the side
224
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:05,530
that way we know this animal isn't
225
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:08,800
vaccinated if we do unfortunately have
226
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,040
to euthanize or sedate an animal these
227
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,390
are our medications our needles and our
228
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:19,270
syringes dogs bite for all sorts of
229
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:20,770
reasons it's actually rarely due to
230
00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:22,990
rabies it's because we got too close to
231
00:08:22,990 --> 00:08:26,410
it or we antagonized it over food
232
00:08:26,410 --> 00:08:29,800
improver those instances we can provide
233
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,200
a chain to the owner and ask them to
234
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,090
keep the dog chained up for 10 days and
235
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:35,950
if that animals still healthy after 10
236
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:37,600
days that means it didn't have rabies
237
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,929
that is what's in my backpack when we go
238
00:08:40,929 --> 00:08:42,460
out when we train staff we usually start
239
00:08:42,460 --> 00:08:45,430
with a dummy our dummy today is Seamus
240
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:47,260
I'm gonna show you on Sheamus how we use
241
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:49,720
a few pieces of equipment this is the
242
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,570
Catchpole easiest way to do it is to
243
00:08:52,570 --> 00:08:53,890
just put in front of the animal with a
244
00:08:53,890 --> 00:08:55,480
little bit of food they'll put their
245
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,070
head in front of it and then you just
246
00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:00,730
slip it over slip it over like this and
247
00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:04,390
then lightly close it if Sheamus was
248
00:09:04,390 --> 00:09:06,880
really aggressive our goal is to get her
249
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,520
in a prone position and sedated as soon
250
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,589
as possible in that case we're gonna put
251
00:09:11,589 --> 00:09:14,140
her down to the ground and one of our
252
00:09:14,140 --> 00:09:16,480
other veterinarians will come up and
253
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,370
give an injection that'll put her to
254
00:09:18,370 --> 00:09:20,440
sleep and then we can safely assess her
255
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,529
and the whole situation these are
256
00:09:22,529 --> 00:09:24,399
absolutely critical to any rabies
257
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:25,990
investigation these are bite proof
258
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:28,779
gloves I have had dogs hanging off of my
259
00:09:28,779 --> 00:09:31,690
hand biting me up in the air they can't
260
00:09:31,690 --> 00:09:33,190
get through these if we can't get that
261
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:35,290
close to the dog maybe it's running away
262
00:09:35,290 --> 00:09:37,450
or it's very aggressive and we don't
263
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:38,800
feel comfortable approaching it we can
264
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,310
use a blowgun
265
00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:41,260
here's our blowgun the dart gets loaded
266
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:43,510
into here and then you can shoot it out
267
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:45,040
at this end from a safe distance so
268
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,930
normally would be about 15 to 20 feet
269
00:09:46,930 --> 00:09:51,580
away you would aim at the dog and that
270
00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:52,839
dart would have hit the dog right into
271
00:09:52,839 --> 00:09:54,760
the muscle injecting the medication and
272
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,380
after a few minutes we can come up and
273
00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:58,450
safely assess that animal try to decide
274
00:09:58,450 --> 00:10:00,580
if it has rabies or not this equipment
275
00:10:00,580 --> 00:10:03,070
keeps me safe keeps the animals safe it
276
00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:05,230
allows us to take rabid animals out of
277
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:07,000
the communities thereby keeping all the
278
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,880
people safe as well my name is Sarah
279
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,610
guardo and I am a disease detective with
280
00:10:12,610 --> 00:10:13,959
the division of high consequence
281
00:10:13,959 --> 00:10:15,940
pathogens and pathology a disease
282
00:10:15,940 --> 00:10:19,120
detective is someone that spends their
283
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,720
time trying to track down different
284
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,370
types of diseases so what we're looking
285
00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:27,760
for is patterns and behavior and that
286
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,730
could be related to food or water or
287
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:33,190
even interaction with animals a lot of
288
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:35,440
the work that we do requires gear so if
289
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,110
you forget your gear for work then you
290
00:10:38,110 --> 00:10:40,089
will not be able to complete the task so
291
00:10:40,089 --> 00:10:41,620
now I'm going to show you a typical
292
00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:44,110
trunk that we use to transport field
293
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:46,089
supplies and different types of gear we
294
00:10:46,089 --> 00:10:48,430
can have up to 15 trunks in a single
295
00:10:48,430 --> 00:10:52,420
trip boots classic tent always helpful
296
00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:54,130
to bring with you because sometimes
297
00:10:54,130 --> 00:10:55,420
you're not sure where you're gonna be
298
00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:58,250
sleeping this is really cool this is a
299
00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:05,210
a UV based water filter you can take off
300
00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:07,820
the cover here make sure it's got its
301
00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:09,650
batteries in it and you put it in dirty
302
00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:12,950
water and you push the button and a lamp
303
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:16,280
comes on with UV light and the UV light
304
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,830
will actually kill any kind of viruses
305
00:11:18,830 --> 00:11:20,210
or bacteria or protozoa
306
00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:22,040
that are in the water so this is really
307
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,620
neat we also bring blood collection
308
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:27,080
supplies tourniquets they're very
309
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,080
helpful for blood collection gloves that
310
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,360
are you know used for a variety of
311
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,200
different purposes so this is a cold box
312
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,410
we use this in the field to transport
313
00:11:39,410 --> 00:11:41,900
specimens and the way it works is that
314
00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:44,810
you would actually have to freeze the
315
00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:48,140
entire box for a certain period of time
316
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:51,110
for several hours and then once you're
317
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:52,940
in the field you place the specimens in
318
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:55,550
here and it's actually kept cold for up
319
00:11:55,550 --> 00:11:57,740
to 72 hours which is really cool I also
320
00:11:57,740 --> 00:11:59,210
haven't here five different types of
321
00:11:59,210 --> 00:12:03,200
phone including a personal phone a CDC
322
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,130
work phone
323
00:12:04,130 --> 00:12:06,500
another type of CDC phone which tends to
324
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,020
get better reception I also have a local
325
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:11,210
phone and lastly we have a satellite
326
00:12:11,210 --> 00:12:13,940
phone and this thing is pretty cool we
327
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:16,760
also have the CDC medical kit the
328
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,710
medications you might find in here
329
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:22,339
include antibiotics like flagyl or cipro
330
00:12:22,339 --> 00:12:25,520
they're also anti malarial pills in here
331
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,890
that you have to take once a day iodine
332
00:12:27,890 --> 00:12:30,110
for sterilizing any kind of open wound
333
00:12:30,110 --> 00:12:33,410
and water purification tablets so there
334
00:12:33,410 --> 00:12:35,030
are different types of personal
335
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:37,040
protective equipment or PPE
336
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,380
for different situations so it depends
337
00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:41,690
on what activities you're doing one
338
00:12:41,690 --> 00:12:44,390
example here is a Tyvek suit that I
339
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:52,800
brought
340
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,269
make sure you got it all the way around
341
00:12:55,269 --> 00:13:02,040
you and they need you want to zip it up
342
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,950
also have a face shield just helpful to
343
00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:07,630
make sure that nothing is splashing in
344
00:13:07,630 --> 00:13:14,320
your face and then of course gloves and
345
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,320
you're ready to get to work I'm Clint
346
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,360
Morgan I'm a biologist with the pox
347
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,100
virus and rabies branch our fieldwork
348
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:22,360
looks a little different than some
349
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,100
epidemiology fieldwork we're actually
350
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,980
going and trapping animals and sampling
351
00:13:26,980 --> 00:13:28,870
them with hopes that they may have some
352
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:30,190
of these viruses that we're looking for
353
00:13:30,190 --> 00:13:33,040
so monkey pox is a virus that's very
354
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,990
closely related to smallpox it can kill
355
00:13:34,990 --> 00:13:37,060
up to ten percent of people who are
356
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:38,920
infected with it it was first recognized
357
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,070
in the in the 50s when it infected some
358
00:13:42,070 --> 00:13:43,870
monkeys so then they named it monkey pox
359
00:13:43,870 --> 00:13:45,970
because it was first isolated from these
360
00:13:45,970 --> 00:13:47,860
these monkeys the viruses usually comes
361
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:50,170
from rodents and so we need certain
362
00:13:50,170 --> 00:13:51,820
traps to catch these animals to test
363
00:13:51,820 --> 00:13:54,399
them for the virus and relay that
364
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,620
information back to epidemiologists who
365
00:13:56,620 --> 00:13:59,440
deal with the outbreak response here
366
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,589
this is a cage style live trap me open
367
00:14:02,589 --> 00:14:06,370
it up real quick and in Africa this is
368
00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:10,209
good for squirrels or Gambian pouched
369
00:14:10,209 --> 00:14:13,300
rats which are the animals that we think
370
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:16,120
are the primary carriers of monkey pox
371
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,180
virus you open up the the front this
372
00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:20,350
little part here is called the trail
373
00:14:20,350 --> 00:14:22,959
comes up and we put the bait in the back
374
00:14:22,959 --> 00:14:25,170
hopefully the animal will walk in
375
00:14:25,170 --> 00:14:27,760
wanting to get the bait step on this the
376
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,610
door and the front will close and you
377
00:14:30,610 --> 00:14:32,620
have caught your animal and here we have
378
00:14:32,620 --> 00:14:36,550
these smaller live traps and go in just
379
00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:39,010
pull one out for now alright and this is
380
00:14:39,010 --> 00:14:41,380
this kind of trap is perfect for smaller
381
00:14:41,380 --> 00:14:43,839
animals like small rodents and shrews
382
00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:46,630
they just run in the front boom and
383
00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:48,940
they're captured this is rolled oats and
384
00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:50,769
peanut butter when combined is a really
385
00:14:50,769 --> 00:14:54,540
good really good mixture to attract most
386
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:57,190
most rodents in any part of the world
387
00:14:57,190 --> 00:15:01,510
also bird seed and even some vanilla
388
00:15:01,510 --> 00:15:02,560
extract
389
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,770
works well for rodents in the tropics
390
00:15:04,770 --> 00:15:07,230
and so we actually use a machete a lot
391
00:15:07,230 --> 00:15:10,480
to cut through the forest undergrowth
392
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,100
and stuff where we're set trying to set
393
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,320
up the traps another really important
394
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,390
item for biosafety and protecting
395
00:15:16,390 --> 00:15:20,020
yourself is a papper which stands for
396
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:22,300
powered air purifying respirator so what
397
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:23,950
it does it sucks in the air through this
398
00:15:23,950 --> 00:15:26,110
filter in the front it'll pump it up
399
00:15:26,110 --> 00:15:28,150
through this hose and into the mask
400
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:30,580
which which you'll be wearing and so
401
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:31,960
this hood will just go over your head
402
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:38,950
like so this way I'm breathing in the
403
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:41,650
air that's being filtered this paper is
404
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:43,210
very important if there's some kind of
405
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:44,710
biological contaminant in the area or
406
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:48,190
you're doing direct handling of infected
407
00:15:48,190 --> 00:15:54,490
samples or animals take this off and in
408
00:15:54,490 --> 00:16:00,040
this bag we just have some little things
409
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,570
that we use when we're processing the
410
00:16:01,570 --> 00:16:04,540
animals this is a spring scale so when
411
00:16:04,540 --> 00:16:06,250
we need to take a weight of the animal
412
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:08,410
we just use this little alligator clip
413
00:16:08,410 --> 00:16:10,589
clip on to it and it gives us a weight
414
00:16:10,589 --> 00:16:14,140
and some alcohol pads just some general
415
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:16,860
items that we use for sample processing
416
00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:20,950
and once we get all the samples we need
417
00:16:20,950 --> 00:16:23,350
we need to store them and that's where
418
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:25,089
this comes in this is a liquid nitrogen
419
00:16:25,089 --> 00:16:29,070
tank it's a referred to as a dry shipper
420
00:16:29,070 --> 00:16:31,450
we charge this with liquid nitrogen a
421
00:16:31,450 --> 00:16:32,980
few days in advance before we go into
422
00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:35,650
the field and it's good for about two
423
00:16:35,650 --> 00:16:38,470
weeks afterwards let me pull this top
424
00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:42,970
off and this is a nitrogen gas coming
425
00:16:42,970 --> 00:16:46,000
out we actually use pantyhose of all
426
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,209
things because it can go down into
427
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:50,620
liquid nitrogen and it's easily
428
00:16:50,620 --> 00:16:53,440
retrievable afterwards just put our
429
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,780
tubes and just drop it in that way the
430
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:59,230
samples are very cold and this little
431
00:16:59,230 --> 00:17:01,750
tab hangs out so once you collect blood
432
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,580
from an animal you set those tubes into
433
00:17:03,580 --> 00:17:05,709
this mini centrifuge and that will
434
00:17:05,709 --> 00:17:07,599
separate out the serum which is a
435
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:08,949
component of the blood which will tell
436
00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:11,170
you whether it has been exposed to
437
00:17:11,170 --> 00:17:12,760
monkey pox or not and what we're looking
438
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,770
for is the
439
00:17:13,770 --> 00:17:15,390
presence of antibodies and some of the
440
00:17:15,390 --> 00:17:18,420
places we go don't have electricity and
441
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:21,420
so a portable generator like this or
442
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:24,030
something similar is very important to
443
00:17:24,030 --> 00:17:26,550
power the items that we have so that's
444
00:17:26,550 --> 00:17:28,470
the gear that we use we need every
445
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:30,750
single part of it to accomplish our goal
446
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:32,850
of going on to the field capturing the
447
00:17:32,850 --> 00:17:34,740
animals bringing those samples back to
448
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:36,990
the lab getting some more information
449
00:17:36,990 --> 00:17:39,480
about this virus and ultimately save
450
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,690
lives
