Vaccine hesitancy, a pressing global challenge in vaccination programs, was significantly amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proliferation of misinformation, including false claims and rumours, and the influence of anti-vaccine movements fuelled hesitancy. This study aims to explore the socio-economic determinants that influenced vaccine hesitancy and the impact of public health information sharing in Sri Lanka during the pandemic. The s…
There is no place to go in “America's Finest City”
Safe and consistent access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) resources is an internationally recognized human right. Yet in the U.S., access to public toilets, handwashing facilities, potable water, and menstrual supplies is grimly limited, especially for unhoused people. This article develops the concept of “sanitation justice” and argues for its urgent consideration alongside calls for racial, gender, social, and environmental justice. W…
Need for effective detection and early warnings for epidemic and pandemic preparedness planning in the context of multi-hazards
The need for effective early detection and timely surveillance for a robust pandemic and epidemic early warning and preparedness has been widely discussed amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, which suddenly erupted worldwide. This need is further established by various other hazards reported in many countries amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the failure of early detection of pathogens and their source of origin has been largely connected with …
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…
