  • An exploration of current and future vector-borne disease threats and opportunities for change

    Open AccessAlexandra Hiscox, Robert T Jones et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Vector-borne diseases, including dengue, threaten the health and livelihoods of over 80% of the world’s population, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Environmental, ecological, climatic, and socio-economic factors are expected to drive increased transmission, emphasizing the need to identify key threats and prioritize strategies for control. We examined drivers, challenges and potential solutions with global experts, using Brazil …

  • The legacy of ZikaPLAN

    Open AccessAnnelies Wilder‐Smith, Elizabeth B Brickley et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2021

    Global health research partnerships with institutions from high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries are one of the European Commission's flagship programmes. Here, we report on the ZikaPLAN research consortium funded by the European Commission with the primary goal of addressing the urgent knowledge gaps related to the Zika epidemic and the secondary goal of building up research capacity and establishing a Latin American-Europea…

  • Public health messages on arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti in Brazil

    Open AccessIndia L Clancy, Robert T Jones et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The posters largely focused on mosquito-borne transmission and the need to eliminate breeding sites, and neglected the risk of the sexual and congenital transmission of Zika and the importance of alternative preventive actions. This, we argue, may have limited the potential effectiveness of these posters to induce behaviour change

  • Sniff and Tell

    Open AccessB Kasstan, K Hampshire et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2019

    Bio-Detection Dogs (BDDs) are used in some high-income countries as a diagnostic intervention, yet little is known about their potential in low/middle-income countries with limited diagnostic resources. This exploratory study investigated the opportunities and implications of deploying BDDs as a mobile diagnostic intervention to identify people with asymptomatic malaria, particularly at ports of entry, as an important step to malaria elimination …

  • ZikaPLAN

    Open AccessAnnelies Wilder‐Smith, Raman Preet et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    Zika Preparedness Latin American Network (ZikaPLAN) is a research consortium funded by the European Commission to address the research gaps in combating Zika and to establish a sustainable network with research capacity building in the Americas. Here we present a report on ZikaPLAN`s mid-term achievements since its initiation in October 2016 to June 2019, illustrating the research objectives of the 15 work packages ranging from virology, diagnost…

  • Novel tools for the surveillance and control of dengue

    Open AccessAnnelies Wilder‐Smith, Annelies Wilder-Smith et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2018

    BACKGROUND: Dengue fever persists as a major global disease burden, and may increase as a consequence of climate change. Along with other measures, research actions to improve diagnosis, surveillance, prevention, and predictive models are highly relevant. The European Commission funded the DengueTools consortium to lead a major initiative in these areas, and this review synthesises the outputs and findings of this work conducted from 2011 to 2016…

  • ZikaPLAN

    Open AccessAnnelies Wilder‐Smith, A Wilder-Smith et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    The ongoing Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands has underlined the need for a coordinated research network across the whole region that can respond rapidly to address the current knowledge gaps in Zika and enhance research preparedness beyond Zika. The European Union under its Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme awarded three research consortia to respond to this need. Here we present the…

  • DengueTools

    Open AccessAnnelies Wilder‐Smith, Karl-Erik Renhorn et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2012

    Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease estimated to cause about 230 million infections worldwide every year, of which 25,000 are fatal. Global incidence has risen rapidly in recent decades with some 3.6 billion people, over half of the world's population, now at risk, mainly in urban centres of the tropics and subtropics. Demographic and societal changes, in particular urbanization, globalization, and increased international travel, are m…

  • To bite or not to bite! A questionnaire-based survey assessing why some people are bitten more than others by midges

    Open AccessJames G Logan, James Cook et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    This study suggests that midges prefer to bite men that are tall and women that have a large BMI, and that the tendency for a child to be bitten or not could be inherited from their parent. The study is questionnaire-based; therefore, the interpretation of the results may be limited by the subjectivity of the answers given by the respondents. Although the results are relevant only to the Scottish biting midge, the approach used here could be usef…
