Influenza vaccine protection and contact patterns among outpatients with influenza-like illness during the 2024–2025 season in China
Background: Continuous monitoring of both influenza vaccine protection and behavioural determinants of infection is important for understanding related risks. Evidence on influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) in China during the 2024-2025 season, however, remains limited. We aimed to assess influenza VE among healthcare-seeking outpatients with influenza-like illness (ILI) and to examine the contact patterns associated with infection risk. Methods…
Modelling climatic and temporal dynamics of dengue transmission in Bangladesh using deep learning models
Dengue fever is a significant public health issue in tropical and subtropical areas, and predicting its spread is challenging due to the complex interactions between climate factors, mosquito behavior, and case reporting. This study develops a high-resolution forecasting framework that integrates daily dengue case data with meteorological drivers (including mean, maximum, and minimum temperature; precipitation; specific and relative humidity; sur…
Health impact assessment of greenness promotion on mortality in 98 cities in China
Early warning signals do not predict a warming-induced experimental epidemic
Climate change can impact the rates at which parasites are transmitted between hosts, ultimately determining if and when an epidemic will emerge. As such, our ability to predict climate-mediated epidemic emergence will become increasingly important in our efforts to prepare for and mitigate the effects of disease outbreaks on ecological systems and global public health. Theory suggests that statistical signatures termed “early warning signals” (E…
A century of weekly notifiable disease incidence data by province in Canada
Canadian notifiable disease surveillance programmes have recorded communicable disease incidence data, dating back to the late 19th century. A Public Health Agency of Canada web-portal provides summaries of these data from 1924–2023, but lacks details on how incidence varies seasonally and geographically among provinces. The sub-annual (weekly, monthly, quarterly) and sub-national (provincial, territorial) data required to study such patterns app…
Comparing lagged impacts of mobility changes and environmental factors on Covid-19 waves in rural and urban India
Previous research in India has identified urbanisation, human mobility and population demographics as key variables associated with higher district level COVID-19 incidence. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of mobility patterns in rural and urban areas in India, in conjunction with other drivers of COVID-19 transmission, have not been fully investigated. We explored travel networks within India during two pandemic waves using aggregated and a…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and a supertyphoon
Pandemics and natural disasters are recognized to cause major disruptions. The main objective of this study was to explore the impacts of COVID-19 and supertyphoon Odette in Cebu, Philippines. A total of 2630 participants were interviewed exploring the impacts of COVID-19 and supertyphoon Odette. The majority of the respondents (2486/2630; 94.5%) had financial problems due to COVID-19. Almost three out of four respondents (1962/2630; 74.6%) exper…
Evolution of WHO Covid-19 mask guidelines amid intense demands for rapid advice
During a health emergency, there is an urgent need to rapidly develop guidelines that meet minimum quality standards, as exemplified by the development of WHO guidelines on mask use in health care and community settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between January 2020 and October 2023, WHO developed 21 guideline updates on the use of masks as part of infection prevention and control (IPC) practices. Guideline developers had to deal with an ever…
Impact assessment of non-pharmaceutical interventions against coronavirus disease 2019 and influenza in Hong Kong
Background A range of public health measures have been implemented to suppress local transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Hong Kong. We examined the effect of these interventions and behavioural changes of the public on the incidence of COVID-19, as well as on influenza virus infections, which might share some aspects of transmission dynamics with COVID-19. Methods We analysed data on laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases, influen…
