Evaluation and estimation of epidemic trajectories for Sars-CoV-2 from clinical and wastewater data in Gauteng Province, South Africa
Inferring epidemic trajectories of viral infections from wastewater data can be a useful addition to clinical-based surveillance, as it provides low cost, population-level data that includes both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals who contribute to the sewer system. However, methods for analyzing wastewater data have been primarily applied to high-resource settings. It remains an open question to what extent epidemic dynamics can also be es…
Vaccination strategies against wild poliomyelitis in polio-free settings
The 2021 importation of wild poliovirus serotype 1 (WPV1) into Malawi with subsequent international spread represented the first WPV1 cases in Africa since 2016. Preventing importations and spread of WPV1 is critical and dependent on population immunity provided through routine immunisation (RI) and supplementary immunisation activities (SIAs). We aim to estimate outbreak risk and costs, given the importation of WPV1 for non-endemic countries in …
Continuing to be cautious
Despite implementing no lockdowns and having a large elderly population, Japan had a low mortality rate due to COVID-19 compared to Europe and North America. The extent to which policies impacted person-to-person contact remains unclear. In this study, we examined changes in contact patterns and their association with behaviors and governmental recommendations in Japan during the pandemic. Ten social contact surveys were conducted between 2021 an…
The impact of Covid-19 vaccination in prisons in England and Wales
The impact of vaccination in prison settings was highly dependent on early and rapid vaccine delivery. If administered to both those living and working in prison prior to an outbreak occurring, vaccines could substantially reduce COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality in prison settings
The local burden of disease during the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic in England
Limitations in testing capacity biased the observed trajectory of COVID-19 infections throughout the first wave. Basing inference on COVID-19-related mortality and higher-coverage testing later in the time period, we could explore the extent of this bias more explicitly. Evidence points towards substantial under-representation of initial growth and peak magnitude of infections nationally, to which different parts of the country contribute unequal…
Global, regional, and national estimates of the population at increased risk of severe Covid-19 due to underlying health conditions in 2020
BACKGROUND: The risk of severe COVID-19 if an individual becomes infected is known to be higher in older individuals and those with underlying health conditions. Understanding the number of individuals at increased risk of severe COVID-19 and how this varies between countries should inform the design of possible strategies to shield or vaccinate those at highest risk. METHODS: We estimated the number of individuals at increased risk of severe dis…
Effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on Covid-19 cases, deaths, and demand for hospital services in the UK
Background Non-pharmaceutical interventions have been implemented to reduce transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the UK. Projecting the size of an unmitigated epidemic and the potential effect of different control measures has been crucial to support evidence-based policy making during the early stages of the epidemic. This study assesses the potential impact of different control measures for mitigating …
Effectiveness of isolation, testing, contact tracing, and physical distancing on reducing transmission of Sars-CoV-2 in different settings
BACKGROUND: The isolation of symptomatic cases and tracing of contacts has been used as an early COVID-19 containment measure in many countries, with additional physical distancing measures also introduced as outbreaks have grown. To maintain control of infection while also reducing disruption to populations, there is a need to understand what combination of measures-including novel digital tracing approaches and less intensive physical distancin…
ZikaPLAN
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…
