SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County's Vector Control Program reminded residents Friday to take precautions against ticks throughout the winter season.Winter is tick season in San Diego County and residents are advised to wear insect repellant and long sleeves and pants when hiking and camping. Ticks are unlikely to be found in the county's metropolitan areas but they can and do appear in nature and back-country areas, according to the county.Ticks spread several diseases, including Lyme disease, tularemia and spotted fever."Our crews are already finding a lot of ticks out there," said Chris Conlan, a supervising vector ecologist for the county. "And even though tick-related diseases are pretty rare in San Diego, nobody wants to be bitten, or have their kids or pets bitten."Residents are advised to stay on designated hiking paths and avoid touching grass, brush and wild rodents. Ticks can also latch onto clothing and bite a host well after leaving a hiking trail or camping area. If bitten, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends removing ticks with tweezers, grabbing as close to the arachnid's head as possible.Residents can find more information about protecting against ticks by visiting the county Department of Environmental Health's web page dedicated to the parasite, sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/deh/pests/ticks.html, and the CDC's web page on ticks, cdc.gov/ticks/index.html. 1426

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Blood Bank reached out to the public Tuesday asking for blood donations amid the coronavirus pandemic.The fast-spreading respiratory illness has resulted in school closures and work-from-home policies throughout San Diego County, forcing the bank to cancel blood drives.The San Diego Blood Bank collects more than half of its blood supply on bloodmobiles stationed at these blood drives, according to the company.RELATED: Red Cross pleads for blood donations amid severe shortage due to COVID-19 cancellations"The U.S. is on the verge of a serious blood shortage that will lead to blood rationing and triage," said David Wellis, CEO of San Diego Blood Bank. "We need healthy people to come out to donate immediately. Supplies are dropping to critical levels."Individuals are not at risk of contracting the coronavirus from donating blood, and the virus poses no known risk to patients receiving transfusions, officials said."It's safe to donate blood," said Admiral Brett Giroir, Assistant Secretary of Health. "Part of preparedness includes a robust blood supply."RELATED: San Diego to legally enforce new public health orders over coronavirusAs a safety precaution, San Diego Blood Bank is currently deferring people who have traveled to areas with World Health Organization level 3 travel notices (China, Italy, Iran, South Korea, France and Spain, among others) for 28 days from their date of departure from the outbreak area. If donors have been exposed to or treated for coronavirus, they are also deferred for 28 days. People experiencing coronavirus symptoms, including fever, cough and shortness of breath, should not attempt to donate."It's important to note that blood collection activities are not `mass gatherings,' rather they are controlled blood drives conducted using appropriate infection control mechanisms intended to assure the safety of the products, donors and staff," said Doug Morton, COO of San Diego Blood Bank. "San Diego Blood Bank is highly regulated and is following best practices, such as properly cleaning surfaces between donation."The blood bank encourages all healthy individuals to donate blood. To be eligible to donate blood, you must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 114 pounds, and be in general good health.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The caregiver for a 74-year-old man who died in her care and another senior who were both involuntarily locked away at her various San Diego residences was sentenced Friday to 13 years in state prison.Shirley Montano, 53, pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of voluntary manslaughter, false imprisonment of a dependent adult and perjury.A murder charge stemming from the death of Robert Chagas was dropped under the plea agreement.RELATED: Woman to stand trial for senior's death, abuse of elderly womanProsecutors alleged the defendant withheld food from Chagas and Josefina Kellogg, 61, causing their health to deteriorate over the course of several years, during which she moved often and relocated them, as well.Chagas died Oct. 7, 2016, at Sharp Memorial Hospital of pneumonia, which prosecutors argued was exacerbated by severe malnutrition he suffered under Montano's care.While the victims lived with Montano, she used their social security checks and other government benefits to buy herself a truck, among other personal purchases, and gambled away their money at local casinos, according to prosecutors.Testimony from Montano's 2019 preliminary hearing indicated Chagas and Kellogg were kept isolated from others and were confined to their respective bedrooms. Montano's niece, who stayed with her for about a year, testified that for the first month she lived at her aunt's apartment, she was not even aware Kellogg existed because the woman would hardly ever emerge from her bedroom.RELATED: La Jolla man arrested for assaulting elderly woman in Morro Bay, police sayOthers who resided at Montano's apartment or visited were offered various explanations for the presence of the victims, according to testimony.Kellogg testified that she stayed in her bedroom for several hours each day and feared angering Montano, who would hit her if she did not obey the rules of the house.Chagas was "emaciated" when he was brought into the hospital, where he died five days later, prosecutors said.RELATED: Woman sentenced for defrauding 86-year-old auntAt the hospital, Montano posed as Chagas' niece and told medical personnel that he did not wish to be resuscitated, according to testimony. Chagas' family members were only notified of his hospitalization after his death, they testified.Montano's attorney, Shannon Sebeckis, argued at the preliminary hearing there was no evidence that Chagas' malnutrition was caused by her client, and instead was the natural result of aging.Sebeckis reiterated the testimony of San Diego County Chief Medical Examiner Glenn Wagner, who declined to classify Chagas' death as a homicide. Wagner said Chagas was not getting sufficient food, but could not opine as to why, only that it appeared to be due to non-medical factors.No calls were made by family or medical professionals to Adult Protective Services in Chagas' case, which also contributed to Wagner's opinion not to classify his death as a homicide, the doctor said.While evidence was presented that Chagas once told a doctor that his weight loss was due to not having enough money for food, Sebeckis said that was not proof that Montano was taking his money or withholding food, especially in light of Chagas' issues with handling his own finances.Chagas' family members testified that an accident that occurred at childbirth had left him "slow," as his brother Richard described it, and that throughout his adult life, Chagas was susceptible to being scammed and had lost exorbitant amounts of money to fraudsters, leading family members to take an active role in assisting him with taxes and paying bills.Sebeckis argued there was little direct evidence that Montano didn't feed the seniors, as past roommates said they had seen her providing food for Chagas and Kellogg. The attorney also said Chagas was not confined at all, and regularly left the apartment each day for his janitorial job at Sea World, which he attended with a sack lunch prepared by Montano each day.The defense attorney also said it was "pure speculation and conjecture" that Montano didn't use the seniors' funds to pay for their basic needs. 4151

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego-based Agena Bioscience announced today that its diagnostic system for detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The company was granted approval Monday on an emergency basis for its MassARRAY SARS-CoV-2 panel for use in clinical laboratories.The FDA's Emergency Use Authorization allows for the use of unapproved medical products during an emergency to diagnose, treat or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions. Emergency Use Authorization has been granted to a large number of companies since the COVID-19 pandemic began for rapid approval of diagnostic tests, personal protective equipment, ventilators and other devices.``Agena is proud to offer a truly scalable platform to support the increasing demand for high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 testing,'' said Agenda CEO Peter Dansky. ``To address the crisis presented by COVID-19, labs need to cost- effectively process large numbers of samples. The MassARRAY System is the perfect tool for that.''The company says its panel targets five regions of the viral genome, and that with its authorization, the company hopes to help laboratories increase testing without the concerns of instrument or reagent availability.``The unique characteristics of the Agena detection technology provide significant supply chain advantages,'' said Jason Halsey, Agena's senior vice president of technology and operations. ``Agena proactively sourced and secured materials to provide uninterrupted product availability to our customers. Agena's MassARRAY SARS-CoV-2 panel kits and instruments are ready for immediate deployment, and we are equipped to supply mill 1741
