  • Anthropogenic landscapes and vector-borne disease dynamics

    Open AccessJuan David Gutiérrez, Wendy L Quintero-García et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Anthropogenic landscape transformations are fundamentally reshaping the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases (VBDs), yet their causal impacts remain poorly quantified across diverse ecological and socio-economic contexts. This study evaluates the causal effect of the Human Footprint (HFP) on the transmission dynamics of malaria, dengue, and visceral leishmaniasis in Colombia. We conducted an ecological analysis using municipal-level retrospectiv…

  • Convergence of HIV and non-communicable disease epidemics

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Chayanika Devi et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: As people living with HIV (PLHIV) are experiencing longer survival, the co-occurrence of HIV and non-communicable diseases has become a public health priority. In response to this emerging challenge, we aimed to characterise the spatial structure of convergence of chronic health conditions in an HIV hyperendemic community in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we used data from a comprehensive popula…

  • Redefining HIV care

    Open AccessGodfrey Musuka, Enos Moyo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    In 2021, around 38 million people were living with HIV (PLHIV) globally. In the same year, the number of new HIV infections worldwide was 1.5 million, while 650,000 died from AIDS-related illnesses. Low and middle-income nations (LMICs), especially those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), have been hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. Apart from the death toll, the epidemic severely impacted LMICs’ health systems. The HIV epidemic led to a shortage of heal…

  • Geospatial patterns of progress towards Unaids ‘95-95-95’ targets and community vulnerability in Zambia

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Tuhin Chowdhury et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    INTRODUCTION: In sub-Saharan Africa, HIV/AIDS remains a leading cause of death. The UNAIDS established the '95-95-95' targets to improve HIV care continuum outcomes. Using geospatial data from the Zambia Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (ZAMPHIA), this study aims to investigate geospatial patterns in the '95-95-95' indicators and individual-level determinants that impede HIV care continuum in vulnerable communities, providing insights into …

  • Changes of Grocery Shopping Frequencies and Associations with Food Deserts during the Covid-19 Pandemic in the United States

  • The role of high-risk geographies in the perpetuation of the HIV epidemic in rural South Africa

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Tulio de Oliveira et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In this study, we hypothesize that HIV geographical clusters (geospatial areas with significantly higher numbers of HIV positive individuals) can behave as the highly connected nodes in the transmission network. Using data come from one of the most comprehensive demographic surveillance systems in Africa, we found that more than 70% of the HIV transmission links identified were directly connected to an HIV geographical cluster located in a peri-u…

  • The geography and inter-community configuration of new sexual partnership formation in a rural South African population over fourteen years (2003–2016)

    Open AccessHae‐young Kim, Diego F Cuadros et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Understanding spatial configuration of sexual network structure is critical for effective use of HIV preventative interventions in a community. However, this has never been described at the population level for any setting in sub-Saharan Africa. We constructed the comprehensive geospatial sexual network among new heterosexual partnerships in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI)’s population-based surve…

  • Dynamics of the Covid-19 epidemic in urban and rural areas in the United States

  • Beyond HIV prevalence

    Open AccessHana Kim, Frank Tanser et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Despite progress towards the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS 95-95-95 targets, South Africa is still suffering from one of the largest HIV epidemics globally. In this study, we generated high-resolution HIV prevalence maps and identified people living with HIV (PLHIV) in underserved areas to provide essential information for the optimal allocation of HIV-related services. METHODS: The data come from the South Africa Demog…

  • When distance matters

    Open AccessHana Kim, Godfrey Musuka et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2021

    Despite efforts to increase the proportion of individuals diagnosed with HIV who receive anti-retroviral therapy, 28% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) aged 15 years and older in eastern and southern Africa and 42% in western and central Africa were not receiving anti-retroviral therapy in 2019. Therefore, improving access to health care services is key to reduce HIV incidence and prevalence. The main aim of this study was to generate high-resolu…

  • Identification of Vulnerable Populations and Areas at Higher Risk of Covid-19-Related Mortality during the Early Stage of the Epidemic in the United States

    Open AccessEsteban Correa-Agudelo, Tesfaye B Mersha et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    We characterized vulnerable populations located in areas at higher risk of COVID-19-related mortality and low critical healthcare capacity during the early stage of the epidemic in the United States. We analyze data obtained from a Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 database to assess the county-level spatial variation of COVID-19-related mortality risk during the early stage of the epidemic in relation to health determinants and health infrastruc…

  • Understanding HIV and associated risk factors among religious groups in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessMunyaradzi Mapingure, Zindoga Mukandavire et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Our results suggest that apostolic sector lack adequate knowledge of HIV and associated risk factors than other religious groups. Targeting HIV prevention programmes by religious groups could be an efficient approach for controlling HIV in Zimbabwe

  • Associated health and social determinants of mobile populations across HIV epidemic gradients in Southern Africa

    Open AccessEsteban Correa-Agudelo, Hae‐young Kim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    Our findings highlight the heterogeneity of the social and health determinants of mobile populations in several countries with different HIV epidemic intensities. Effective interventions using precise geographic focus combined with detailed attribute characterization of mobile populations can enhance their impact especially in areas with high density of mobile individuals and high HIV prevalence

  • Spatiotemporal transmission dynamics of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on critical healthcare capacity

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Yanyu Xiao et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    The role of geospatial disparities in the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic is poorly understood. We developed a spatially-explicit mathematical model to simulate transmission dynamics of COVID-19 disease infection in relation with the uneven distribution of the healthcare capacity in Ohio, U.S. The results showed substantial spatial variation in the spread of the disease, with localized areas showing marked differences in disease attack rates. H…

  • Geographical Patterns of HIV Sero-Discordancy in High HIV Prevalence Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Diego Cuadros et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    There does not appear to be distinct spatial patterns for HIV sero-discordancy that are independent of HIV prevalence patterns. The variation of the sero-discordancy measures with HIV prevalence across clusters and outside clusters demonstrated similar patterns to those observed at the national level. The spatial variable does not appear to be a fundamental nor independent determinant of the observed patterns of sero-discordancy in high HIV preva…

  • Spatial variability in HIV prevalence declines in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessDiego F Cuadros, Laith J Abu‐raddad et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2014Citada por: 2

    Evidence suggests substantial declines in HIV prevalence in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. However, the observed aggregate declines at the national level may obscure local variations in the temporal dynamics of the infection. Using spatial scan statistics, we identified marked spatial variability in the within-country declines in HIV prevalence in Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. Our study suggests that the declines in the national HIV preval…
