  • Retrospective analysis of dengue-related fatalities in Nepal, 2022

    Open AccessShashi Kandel, Gokarna Dahal et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Dengue is a mosquito-borne acute febrile illness, also known as break bone fever, and is a major public health problem in the tropics and subtropics worldwide. Understanding the factors that contribute to dengue-related mortalities is crucial for decision-making and implementing effective strategies for prompt patient care. This retrospective analysis aimed to understand the clinical characteristics as well as associated infections and co-morbidi…

  • Beliefs and socio-cultural perspectives on hantavirus in a rural community in Panama

    Open AccessJaneth Agrazal García, Lydia Gordón de Isaacs et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a zoonotic disease that has been present in the Americas since 1993 and in Panama since the early 2000s. The disease is transmitted to humans through the inhalation of aerosols containing viruses from feces, urine, and saliva from asymptomatic, infected rodents. While various climatic, ecological, social and cultural factors have been associated with hantavirus transmission, research on beliefs and socio-cultural …

  • Risk factors associated with cutaneous anthrax outbreaks in humans in Bangladesh

    Open AccessSukanta Chowdhury, Md Saiful Islam et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Objectives: To determine the risk factors associated with cutaneous anthrax infection in humans. Methods: During 2013-2016, we investigated total 26 anthrax outbreaks across the country. We additionally conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors by recruiting four controls for each enrolled case. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated to identify risk factors using multivariate logistic regression…

  • Is heat wave a predictor of diarrhoea in Dhaka, Bangladesh? A time-series analysis in a South Asian tropical monsoon climate

    Open AccessFarhana Haque, Fiona Lampe et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    While numerous studies have assessed the association between temperature and diarrhoea in various locations, evidence of relationship between heat wave and diarrhoea is scarce. We defined elevated daily mean and maximum temperature over the 95 th and 99 th percentiles lasting for at least one day between March to October 1981–2010 as TAV95 and TAV99 and D95 and D99 heat wave, respectively. We investigated the association between heat wave and dai…

  • Early warning and response system for dengue outbreaks

    Open AccessGustavo Sanchez Tejeda, David Benitez Valladares et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Dengue disease epidemics have increased in time and space due to climatic and non-climatic factors such as urbanization. In the absence of an effective vaccine, preventing dengue outbreak relies on vector control activities. Employing computerized tools to predict outbreaks and respond in advance has great potential for improving dengue disease control. Evidence of integrating or implementing such applications into control programs and their impa…

  • Current sampling and sequencing biases of Lassa mammarenavirus limit inference from phylogeography and molecular epidemiology in Lassa fever endemic regions

    Open AccessLiã Bárbara Arruda, Hayley Beth Free et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Lassa fever (LF) is a potentially lethal viral haemorrhagic infection of humans caused by Lassa mammarenavirus (LASV). It is an important endemic zoonotic disease in West Africa with growing evidence for increasing frequency and sizes of outbreaks. Phylogeographic and molecular epidemiology methods have projected expansion of the Lassa fever endemic zone in the context of future global change. The Natal multimammate mouse ( Mastomys natalensis ) …

  • Silicosis, tuberculosis and silica exposure among artisanal and small-scale miners

    Open AccessPatrick Howlett, Hader Mousa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    An estimated 44 million artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM), largely based in developing economies, face significant occupational risks for respiratory diseases which have not been reviewed. We therefore aimed to review studies that describe silicosis and tuberculosis prevalence and respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposures among ASM and use background evidence to better understand the relationship between exposures and disease outcomes. W…

  • Livestock, pathogens, vectors, and their environment

    Open AccessJulianne Meisner, Agapitus Kato et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Livestock are important reservoirs for many zoonotic diseases, however the effects of livestock on human and environmental health extend well beyond direct disease transmission. In this retrospective ecological cohort study we use pre-existing data and the parametric g-formula, which imputes potential outcomes to quantify mediation, to estimate three hypothesized mechanisms by which livestock can influence human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) risk…

  • Wet market biosecurity reform

    Open AccessKevin Bardosh, Renzo Guinto et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    In 2020, Covid-19 led to global policy statements promoting bans and reforms to wet markets in Asia and Africa to prevent future pandemics. We conducted a comparative, exploratory qualitative study in 2021 in three countries (Kenya, Vietnam and the Philippines) to understand the social and political dimensions to biosecurity reform at wet markets. This included 60 key informant interviews and rapid ethnographic research in 15 markets, as well as …

  • Measures, Gaps, and Mitigation Strategies in Bangladesh’s Covid-19 Response

    Open AccessAbdullah Al Sattar, Nusrat Irin et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2022

    The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread rapidly from China to most other countries around the world in early 2020 killing millions of people. To prevent virus spread, world governments implemented a variety of response measures. This paper’s objectives were to discuss the country’s adopted measures to combat the virus through June 2020, identify gaps in the measures’ effectiveness, and offer possible mitigations to those gaps. The measures…

  • Covid-19—Zoonosis or Emerging Infectious Disease

    Open AccessNajmul Haider, Peregrine Rothman-Ostrow et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    The World Health Organization defines a zoonosis as any infection naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. The pandemic of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been classified as a zoonotic disease, however, no animal reservoir has yet been found, so this classification is premature. We propose that COVID-19 should instead be classified an “ emerging infectious disease (EID) of probable animal origin .” To exp…

  • Lockdown measures in response to Covid-19 in nine sub-Saharan African countries

    Open AccessNajmul Haider, Abdinasir Yusuf Osman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Lockdown measures have been introduced worldwide to contain the transmission of COVID-19. However, the term ‘lockdown’ is not well-defined. Indeed, WHO’s reference to ‘so-called lockdown measures’ indicates the absence of a clear and universally accepted definition of the term ‘lockdown’. We propose a definition of ‘lockdown’ based on a two-by-two matrix that categorises different communicable disease measures based on whether they are compulsory…

  • Where backyard poultry raisers seek care for sick poultry

    Open AccessNadia Ali Rimi, Rebeca Sultana et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    The local poultry care providers provided front line healthcare to backyard poultry in villages and were a potential source of information for the rural raisers. Integration of these local poultry care providers in the government's avian influenza control programs is a potentially useful approach to increase poultry raisers' and local poultry care providers' awareness about avian influenza
