Evaluating the safety of prenatal HIV PrEP use
Existing data support the safety of daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use in pregnancy, yet ongoing monitoring is needed. We analyzed data from three recently completed HIV PrEP safety and implementation studies (PrIMA, PrIMA-X, and mWACh-PrEP) that enrolled women who were offered and/or initiated TDF-based HIV PrEP at routine health clinics in Western Kenya to summarize perinatal outcomes fo…
Perceptions and predictors of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare providers across five countries in sub-Saharan Africa
The African continent has some of the world’s lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates. While the limited availability of vaccines is a contributing factor, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare providers (HCP) is another factor that could adversely affect efforts to control infections on the continent. We sought to understand the extent of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among HCP, and its contributing factors in Africa. We evaluated COVID-19 vaccine …
Knowledge and perception of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among healthcare workers
Introduction: In Brazil, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is freely available to individuals at high risk of HIV infection. However, knowledge and perception of PrEP can act as barriers to its access and use. This study evaluated PrEP knowledge and perception among healthcare workers in the Unified Health System in a Brazilian capital. Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data through interviews with healthcare workers from 72 Primary Hea…
Rethinking STI control strategies
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are associated with substantial adverse outcomes, including genital symptoms, pregnancy complications, infertility, increased risk of HIV transmission, and significant psychosocial impacts. Identifying priority areas for action and key elements to inform discussions on expanding access to STI prevention measures, including HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), is essential for planning effective control strat…
Determinants of knowledge and positive perception of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is one of strategies for preventing human immunodeficiency virus infection. However, limited knowledge and perception of PrEP may impact the access to this prophylaxis. This study aimed to assess knowledge and perceptions of PrEP and to identify determinants, both sociodemographic and structural, associated with them among users of specialized public health services. This is a cross-sectional study based on data ob…
Parental vaccine hesitancy in Brazil
Vaccine-hesitant parents delay or refuse their children's immunization and constitute a significant public health concern. Our study aims to measure parental vaccination hesitancy and its associated factors in parents residing in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. From September 2022 to October 2023, a cross-sectional study aligned to a household survey was carried out to measure vaccination coverage in Campo Grande. The two-stage cl…
Assessing risk factors for malaria and schistosomiasis among children in Misungwi, Tanzania, an area of co-endemicity
Malaria and schistosomiasis are two major parasitic vector-borne diseases that are a particular threat to young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the present study, we investigated factors that are associated with malaria, schistosomiasis, and co-infection among school-aged children, using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach. A cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2022 in Misungwi, Tanzania, that sampled 1,122 children age…
Determinants of Covid-19 vaccine uptake among the elderly aged 58 years and above in Kericho County, Kenya
Hesitancy to Covid-19 vaccine is a global challenge despite the compelling evidence of the value of vaccine in preventing disease and saving lives. It is suggested that context-specific strategies can enhance acceptability and decrease hesitancy to Covid-19 vaccine. Hence, the study determined uptake and determinants of Covid-19 vaccine following a sustained voluntary vaccination drive by Kenyan government. We conducted institution based cross-se…
A surge in respiratory syncytial virus infection-related hospitalizations associated with the Covid-19 pandemic
The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resulted in implementation of social distancing and other public health measures to control the spread of infection and improve prevention, resulting in a decrease in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and pediatric respiratory tract infection rates. However, there was a rapid and large re-emergence of RSV infection in Japan. Notably, we were faced with a difficult situation wherein there was a shorta…
Geographic clustering of travel-acquired infections in Ontario, Canada, 2008–2020
As the frequency of international travel increases, more individuals are at risk of travel-acquired infections (TAIs). In this ecological study of over 170,000 unique tests from Public Health Ontario’s laboratory, we reviewed all laboratory-reported cases of malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and enteric fever in Ontario, Canada between 2008–2020 to identify high-resolution geographical clusters for potential targeted pre-travel prevention. Smoothed s…
Epidemiological and virological factors determining dengue transmission in Sri Lanka during the Covid-19 pandemic
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 there was a drastic reduction in the number of dengue cases in Sri Lanka, with an increase towards the end of 2021. We sought to study the contribution of virological factors, human mobility, school closure and mosquito factors in affecting these changes in dengue transmission in Sri Lanka during this time. To understand the reasons for the differences in the dengue case numbers in 2020 to 202…
The impact of sampling bias on viral phylogeographic reconstruction
Genomic epidemiology plays an ever-increasing role in our understanding of and response to the spread of infectious pathogens. Phylogeography, the reconstruction of the historical location and movement of pathogens from the evolutionary relationships among sampled pathogen sequences, can inform policy decisions related to viral movement among jurisdictions. However, phylogeographic reconstruction is impacted by the fact that the sampling and viru…
Outbreak of acute gastroenteritis associated with drinking water in rural Kazakhstan
We conducted an outbreak investigation from June 3 to 15th in a rural village in northern Kazakhstan, after surveillance showed an increase in gastroenteritis. Cases were residents who presented for medical treatment for diarrhea, fever (>37.5 °C), vomiting, or weakness from May 14 to June 15, 2021. Controls were residents matched by age ±2 years at a ratio of two controls for every case. Cases and controls were interviewed using structured quest…
Covid-19 mortality rate and its associated factors during the first and second waves in Nigeria
COVID-19 mortality rate has not been formally assessed in Nigeria. Thus, we aimed to address this gap and identify associated mortality risk factors during the first and second waves in Nigeria. This was a retrospective analysis of national surveillance data from all 37 States in Nigeria between February 27, 2020, and April 3, 2021. The outcome variable was mortality amongst persons who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by Reverse-Transcriptase Poly…
Congenital anomalies during the 2015–2018 Zika virus epidemic
We estimated the incidence of congenital anomalies during the Zika epidemic. Our findings could help to support future research and intervention strategies in health facilities to better identify and assist children born with congenital anomalies
Community health workers and Covid-19 in a Brazilian state capital
Community health workers (CHWs) are the main bridge between health services and the community, and therefore play a vital role in the COVID-19 response. The aim of this study was to determine the COVID-19-related health status of CHWs, their basic knowledge of the disease and the role they played in the pandemic response in 2020. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with CHWs working in Campo Grande between December 2020 and January …
Comparison and lessons learned from neglected tropical diseases and tuberculosis
Currently, tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent and accounts for over one-third of all HIV-related deaths. However, research and programmatic funding have lagged far behind investments for many other diseases. For about a century, the current Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine has been the only effective vaccine and is only effective in preventing severe disease in children; the first new therapeutic drug f…
Health demands and care of children with congenital Zika syndrome and their mothers in a Brazilian state
Here, we identified gaps in the care of families and children with disabilities, which can have an important impact on their quality of life.
