Factors associated with laboratory-confirmed measles cases during the 2023 and 2024 outbreaks in Tanzania—a mixed-methods study
Background Despite the introduction of the two-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV2) in 2014, measles remains a persistent public health problem in Tanzania, characterized by recurrent outbreaks and shifting epidemiological patterns. Understanding the epidemiology of measles in the country is therefore essential to inform context-specific elimination strategies. Methods During the 2023 and 2024 measles outbreaks, data and samples from the Nation…
The High Seropositivity of Mumps Virus IgG Antibodies among School-Aged Children in Rural Areas of the Mbarali District in the Mbeya Region, Tanzania
Mumps is an acute contagious viral disease caused by paramyxovirus characterized by complications that include orchitis, oophoritis, aseptic meningitis, and spontaneous abortion among many others. This study reports high mumps IgG seropositivity among school-aged children in rural areas of the Mbeya region, information that might be useful in understanding the epidemiology of mumps and instituting appropriate control measures including vaccinatio…
Low uptake of hepatitis B vaccination among healthcare workers in primary health facilities in Mwanza region, North-Western Tanzania
Background Despite the availability of hepatitis B vaccines (HBV) in Tanzania, their uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs) in high-level facilities, such as tertiary hospitals where the vaccines are available, is low. However, their uptake among HCWs in primary health facilities remains understudied. The lack of this information limits the scaling up of HBV vaccination programs. Methodology A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted betwee…
High Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in Mwanza, Northwestern Tanzania
The transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, has been documented worldwide. However, the evidence of the extent to which transmission has occurred in different countries is still to be established. Understanding the magnitude and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 through seroprevalence studies is important in designing control and preventive strategies in communities. This study investigated the seropositivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus…
