Swine Influenza
The University of Maryland has a number of experts who can address different issues related to the ongoing swine flu epidemic:
Dean Don Kettl - Public Policy (Kettl@umd.edu) - "This is an issue that has swept around the world in lightning speed. At a food cart on the streets of Philadelphia yesterday, two people were talking about the coming plague - and the need to read the Bible. This isn't Armageddon- the government faces a keen test of calibrating its response and the people's reaction. How can we best signal the level of seriousness of the issue to ensure the best preparedness and caution without creating panic?
We've long known that a genuine pandemic could strike fast and hit hard. Especially in the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax attacks and SARS, the government has spent a lot of time and energy quietly preparing for the possibility of biothreats, either from nature or from terrorists. From all indications, the preparations were thorough and the nation is ready. But this could prove the first real acid test."
See: Kettl's analysis of the first 100 days
Daniel Perez - Swine and avian flu vaccine development, virus transmission, and pathogenesis; swine as an intermediary species for mutation and transmission of flu strains between birds and humans.
Steven Salzberg - Sequencing the flu genome
Galit Shmueli - Flu surveillance
Jeffrey Herrmann - Software to pinpoint mass vaccination locations

Donald K. Milton
|
|
Professor and Director
|
|
Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health
|
|
|
|
Expertise Key Words:
Influenza transmission, endotoxin, hygiene hypothesis, allergy, asthma, occupational health, environmental public health, bioaerosols, exposure assessment, microbial exposures, airborne infection transmission, biomarkers, exhaled breath analysis.
|
|
|
Expertise Credentials:
Dr. Milton is Professor and Director of MIAEH and Affiliate Faculty in Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
His asthma research includes studies of occupational asthma and the impact of ambient bioaerosols on asthma exacerbation, especially the impact of low level, early life endotoxin exposure on the risk of childhood allergy and asthma. His research on mechanisms and prevention of airborne infection transmission includes productivity effects of rhinovirus colds in office workers and asthmatic children, mathematical models, and laboratory and epidemiological studies of control methods for influenza and agents of biological warfare and terrorism. Exhaled breath analysis is a unifying theme with ongoing work on exhaled gas and particle phase biomarkers for lung inflammation and studies of exhaled particles as the vehicle of airborne communicable disease transmission.
Dr. Milton is co-PI of "Evaluating Modes of Influenza Transmission" a $10M project to define how influenza is spread from person-to-person.
