Using the Q-method to explore pregnant and breastfeeding women’s perceptions of antibiotic use in Mahajanga, Northwest Madagascar
Pregnant and breastfeeding women surveyed in Northwest Madagascar believe that the best approach to antibiotic use is to follow the recommendations of health care professionals. However, some rely on advice from others, whether medical or nonmedical. To improve adherence to antibiotic treatments based solely on medical prescriptions and ensure their proper use in Madagascar, the communication between health care providers and patients must be str…
Assessing the effectiveness of intervention to prevent plague through community and animal-based survey
Bubonic plague, transmitted by infected flea bites, is the most common form of plague and, left untreated, can progress to the pneumonic form, which is highly contagious. Surveillance focusing on reservoir and vector is considered to be the main approach to prevent plague. Common rodent control methods include the use of rodenticide and snap traps but, in a plague context, the dispersal of fleas from killed animals may pose a serious health threa…
Determinants of Covid-19-related knowledge and disrupted habits during epidemic waves among women of childbearing age in urban and rural areas of the Malagasy Middle East
Almost a third of the sampled women of childbearing age had a good level of knowledge of COVID-19. Access to information through telecommunications technologies increases the chances of being better informed about the disease. To avoid the negative repercussions of infectious disease epidemics, it is necessary to improve the awareness of childbearing women about these diseases by taking demographic features of the population into account
A decade of plague in Madagascar: A description of two hotspot districts
The differences in the epidemiological situation with respect to the plague from 2006 to 2015 in the two central highlands districts may suggest that several factors other than biogeographical factors determine the representation of the plague and its dynamics in this region. Considering the epidemiological situations according to the specific contexts of the districts could improve the results in the fight against the plague in Madagascar
Influence of Sociospatial determinants on knowledge, attitudes and practices related to the plague in a population living in endemic areas in the central highlands, Madagascar
The results of the study showed the need to adapt plague control interventions to the local context to allow a better allocation of human and financial resources. Doing so would minimize delays in patient management care and increase community resilience to plague epidemics
