Embedding risk monitoring in infectious disease surveillance for timely and effective outbreak prevention and control
Epidemic intelligence efforts aim to predict, timely detect and assess (re-)emerging pathogens, guide and evaluate infectious disease prevention or control. We emphasise the underused potential of integrating the monitoring of risks related to exposure, disease or death, particularly in settings where limited diagnostic capacity and access to healthcare hamper timely prevention/control measures. Monitoring One Health exposures, human behaviour, i…
Mortality and barriers to healthcare among people experiencing homelessness in Paris
Homelessness is a global problem with significant public health implications. Persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) face poorer health outcomes and elevated risks of premature death compared to the general population. This is also true for PEH in France, despite the country’s system of universal health coverage. This study investigates 10-year mortality patterns among PEH in Paris and barriers to accessing healthcare. Deaths among PEH—including…
Use of antimicrobials and other medical products in an ethnic minority context of South-Central Vietnam
Despite the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), evidence on the use and quality of medicines at community level is limited, particularly in impoverished, rural areas where prevalence of (bacterial) infections is high. To better understand the processes that drive vulnerability to AMR’ effects, this study aimed to assess social factors underpinning access to–and use of–medical products and healthcare, among people from the Raglai ethn…
Mild and moderate Covid-19 during Alpha, Delta and Omicron pandemic waves in urban Maputo, Mozambique, December 2020-March 2022
In sub-Saharan Africa, reported COVID-19 numbers have been lower than anticipated, even when considering populations’ younger age. The extent to which risk factors, established in industrialised countries, impact the risk of infection and of disease in populations in sub-Saharan Africa, remains unclear. We estimated the incidence of mild and moderate COVID-19 in urban Mozambique and analysed factors associated with infection and disease in a popu…
Outbreak of cholera in the Southwest region of Cameroon, 2021-22
We report the largest cholera outbreak in the Southwest region. Our findings suggest the cross-border spread of cases from the Nigerian outbreak, likely driven by overcrowding in major cities. Our study highlights the need for cross-border surveillance, especially during humanitarian crises
Management of febrile illness in rural Guinea over a seven-year period
Introduction Febrile illnesses constitute a major clinical challenge in tropical settings. We aimed to assess the frequency, presentation and management of febrile illness at two health facilities in Forécariah, Guinea, with a focus on appropriateness of antibiotic prescription. Materials and methods This was a retrospective study conducted in patient files in a health center and a district hospital. Proportions of antibiotic prescription were de…
The Covid-19 pandemic
It is very exceptional that a new disease becomes a true pandemic. Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has spread to nearly all countries of the world in only a few months. However, in different countries, the COVID-19 epidemic takes variable shapes and forms in how it affects communities. Until now, the insights gained on COVID-19 have be…
