High confidence and demand for hepatitis E vaccine during an outbreak in Bentiu, South Sudan
In 2021 in response to an outbreak of hepatitis E in Bentiu internally displaced persons camp the South Sudanese Ministry of Health with support from Médecins Sans Frontières implemented the first-ever mass reactive vaccination campaign with HEV239 (Hecolin; Innovax, Xiamen, China). We conducted qualitative research to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to hepatitis E and the hepatitis E vaccine. We conducted 8 focus group discuss…
Care-seeking for diarrheal illness
Monitoring and treating diarrheal illness often relies on individuals seeking care at hospitals or clinics. Cases that seek care through pharmacies and community health workers (CHW) are frequently excluded from disease burden estimates, which are used to allocate mitigation resources. Studies on care-seeking behavior can help identify these gaps but typically focus on children under five, even though diarrheal diseases like cholera and Enterotox…
Continued T12 transmission and shared antibiotic resistance during 2018–2023 Vibrio cholerae outbreaks in Cameroon
Seventh pandemic Vibrio cholerae was first identified in Cameroon in 1971, causing several sporadic disease clusters with few cases. More recent years have seen larger cholera outbreaks, but the mechanism behind these periodic outbreaks is poorly understood, and it is unclear the degree to which antibiotic resistant strains contribute to disease burden and spread. We used whole genome sequencing to characterize 13 V. cholerae isolates from the 20…
Covid-19 pandemic-related changes in teleworking, emotional exhaustion, and occupational burnout
Decreased teleworking frequency and not having the possibility of telework were associated with higher emotional exhaustion and diagnosed burnout. As organizations reconsider their telework policies in a post-pandemic era, they should consider the impact of such organizational changes on employee wellbeing
Socioeconomic conditions and children's mental health and quality of life during the Covid-19 pandemic
We found considerable differences in adverse outcomes across social strata. Our results suggest that, post-pandemic, interventions to address social inequities in HRQoL should focus on specific intersectional strata involving adolescents and families experiencing financial hardship, while those aiming to improve mental health should target all children and adolescents
Changes in socioeconomic resources and mental health after the second Covid-19 wave (2020–2021)
This study confirms the association of economic stressors and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the exacerbating role of subjective risk perception on this association
Age-specific mortality and immunity patterns of Sars-CoV-2
Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Neighborhoods Face Increased Persistence of Sars-CoV-2 Clusters
Objective: To investigate the association between socioeconomic deprivation and the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 clusters. Methods: We analyzed 3,355 SARS-CoV-2 positive test results in the state of Geneva (Switzerland) from February 26 to April 30, 2020. We used a spatiotemporal cluster detection algorithm to monitor SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and defined spatial cluster persistence as the time in days from emergence to disappearance. Using s…
The Incubation Period of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) From Publicly Reported Confirmed Cases
BACKGROUND: A novel human coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified in China in December 2019. There is limited support for many of its key epidemiologic features, including the incubation period for clinical disease (coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]), which has important implications for surveillance and control activities. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the length of the incubation period of COVID-19 a…
