Syndromic surveillance of population-level Covid-19 burden with cough monitoring in a hospital emergency waiting room
Syndromic surveillance is an effective tool for enabling the timely detection of infectious disease outbreaks and facilitating the implementation of effective mitigation strategies by public health authorities. While various information sources are currently utilized to collect syndromic signal data for analysis, the aggregated measurement of cough, an important symptom for many illnesses, is not widely employed as a syndromic signal. With recent…
Forest-Going as a Risk Factor for Confirmed Malaria in Champasak Province, Lao PDR
Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has made significant progress in reducing malaria in recent years. In the Greater Mekong Subregion, forest-going is often a risk factor contributing to continuing malaria transmission. This study assessed forest-going and other potential risk factors for malaria cases in Champasak Province, Lao PDR. Routine passive surveillance data from August 2017 to December 2018 were extracted from health facilities …
Considerations for Meeting Students' Mental Health Needs at a U.S. University During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Objective To better understand the potential ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on U.S. university students' mental health and to generate hypotheses as to how universities may best meet students' mental health needs. Participants Students at a large public university in the United States. Methods Students were invited via email to participate in either interviews or focus groups regarding their COVID-19 pandemic experiences, including ment…
Quantifying the Relationship between Sars-CoV-2 Wastewater Concentrations and Building-Level Covid-19 Prevalence at an Isolation Residence
SARS-CoV-2 RNA loads can be detected in the excreta of individuals with COVID-19 and have demonstrated positive correlations with clinical infection trends. Consequently, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approaches have been implemented globally as a public health surveillance tool to monitor community-level prevalence of infections. The majority of wastewater specimens are gathered as either composite samples via automatic samplers (autosampl…
Optimizing the implementation of a participant-collected, mail-based Sars-CoV-2 serological survey in university-affiliated populations
The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 is largely driven by pre-symptomatic or mildly symptomatic individuals transmitting the virus. Serological tests to identify antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are important tools to characterize subclinical infection exposure.During the summer of 2020, a mail-based serological survey with self-collected dried blood spot (DBS) samples was implemented among university affiliates and their household members in Massachusett…
Spatial epidemiology and climatic predictors of paediatric dengue infections captured via sentinel site surveillance, Phnom Penh Cambodia 2011–2012
Our results identify clustering of infections at the neighbourhood scale, suggesting points for targeted interventions, and we find that the complex interactions of vectors and climatic conditions in this setting may be best captured by rising minimum temperature, and median (as opposed to mean) relative humidity, with complex and limited effects from rainfall. These results suggest that real-time cluster detection during epidemics should be cons…
