Characterizing acute and persistent symptoms of Covid-19 among adults and children in rural Zambia, 2020–2022
Since emerging in December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has led to significant morbidity and mortality globally. While much is known about SARS-CoV-2 infection and sequelae, fewer studies have been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was conducted to characterize acute and persistent symptoms of COVID-19 among adults and children in rural Zambia. From December 2020 to March 2022, individuals of all ages with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 132) were …
High measles and rubella vaccine coverage and seroprevalence among Zambian children participating in a measles and rubella supplementary immunization activity
Post-campaign coverage surveys estimate the proportion of previously unvaccinated children vaccinated during supplementary immunization activities (SIA) but cannot address whether susceptible children seronegative to measles and rubella viruses were vaccinated during the SIA. We conducted a cross-sectional serosurvey nested within the November 2020 measles-rubella SIA in Zambia, systematically sampling children aged 9 months to 5 years at 30 SIA …
Feasibility and acceptability of collecting dried blood spots (DBS) from children after vaccination during supplementary immunization activities to estimate measles and rubella seroprevalence
Nested serosurveys within routine service delivery platforms such as planned supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) provide an opportunity to collect information that can be used to answer valuable questions on the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery model to inform future activities. However, integrating research data collection in SIAs is rarely done due to concerns it will negatively impact the program. We conducted a serosurvey …
Knowledge, attitudes and practices assessment of malaria interventions in rural Zambia
The current study identified misconceptions in malaria transmission among primary caregivers indicating remaining knowledge gaps in educational campaigns. Participant responses also indicated a misalignment between a low perception of IRS efficacy and high stated acceptance of IRS, which should be further examined to better understand uptake and sustainability of other vector control strategies. While ITNs were found to be used in study household…
