  • Neurodevelopment of children exposed and unexposed to Zika virus in pregnancy

    Open AccessJosé Augusto De Britto, Maria Da Conceição Borges Lopes et al.ARTICLECiência & Saúde Coletiva2026

    This article aims to assess the neurodevelopment of children with and without in utero Zika virus (ZIKV) exposure, in the absence of microcephaly at birth, and to explore social and biological factors associated with develop- mental outcomes. Cross-sectional analysis of 172 children (94 ZIKV-exposed, 78 unexposed), aged 11-39 months, were evaluated using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development. . Outcomes were classified as delayed (

  • Effects of hydro-meteorological and geological disasters on vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks and routine immunisation amongst children

    Open AccessIsabel T Barnidge, Andrêa J F Ferreira et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Hydro-meteorological and geological disasters can pose serious harm to community health, such as an increased risk of infectious diseases and related mortality. We conducted a scoping review to compile the available literature on the effects of hydro-meteorological and geological disasters on routine immunisation and vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) outbreaks among children and adolescents under 18 years. We searched Medline, Embase, Global Heal…

  • Short-term ambient heat exposure and low Apgar score in newborns

    Open AccessMichelle Del Carretto, Audrey Godin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Exposure to high ambient temperatures near the time of delivery has been associated with adverse birth outcomes, but studies examining the impact on immediate newborn health remain limited. We used a time-stratified case-crossover design combined with a distributed lag nonlinear model to evaluate the short-term effects of ambient heat (0–1 day lag) on low 5-minute APGAR score (≤7; sub-categories: 6–7, 3–5, 0–2). Cases of low APGAR score among low…

  • Characterization of 843 children with Zika-related microcephaly in the first three years of life

    Open AccessDemócrito De Barros Miranda Filho, Ricardo Arraes De Alencar Ximenes et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    One of the main gaps in characterizing the congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) up to now is the small number of participants in individual studies. Pooling the data together overcomes the sample size-related limitations of individual studies and provides an opportunity for investigating heterogeneity between studies and, as appropriate, to better characterize the CZS . This study aims to describe adverse anthropometric, clinical, and neuroimaging outc…

  • The Minha Casa Minha Vida social housing programme and leprosy in Brazil

    Open AccessCamila Silveira Silva Teixeira, Júlia Moreira Pescarini et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    This study found a higher risk of leprosy associated with MCMVP that may reflect reverse causality. Our findings suggest the programme is, in fact, reaching the most vulnerable individuals, as intended in its objectives. Besides, the higher risk of leprosy among MCMVP beneficiaries even before receiving the benefit observed in sensitivity analysis may reflect residual confounding factors related

  • Associations of municipality-level income and racial segregation with individual-level tuberculosis treatment outcomes in Brazil

    Open AccessQanisha Hall, José Firmino De Sousa Filho et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2025Citada por: 1Referências: 32

    Background Residential segregation is considered a social determinant of health, but there is limited evidence of its impact on tuberculosis (TB). We investigated the associations between municipality-level income and racial segregation and TB treatment outcomes in Brazil. Methods We studied nationwide registries of new TB cases between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019. TB treatment was dichotomised as unfavourable (ie, loss to follow-up, modi…

  • Municipality-level measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage and deprivation in Brazil

    Open AccessAudrey Godin, Júlia Moreira Pescarini et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    To better understand the declining rates of routine childhood vaccination in Brazil, we investigated the association between measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) first dose vaccine coverage and deprivation at the municipality level. Using routinely collected data from 5565 Brazilian municipalities from 2006 to 2020, we investigated the association between municipality-level MMR vaccine first dose coverage (i.e., as a continuous variable and as a per…

  • A Sars-CoV-2 outbreak in a plastics manufacturing plant

    Open AccessAlice Graham, Amber I Raja et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The findings reinforce the importance of enhanced infection control measures in manufacturing sectors, including improved ventilation with possible consideration of CO 2 monitoring, utilising air cleaning interventions in enclosed environments, and provision of good-quality face masks (i.e., surgical masks or FFP2/FFP3 respirators) especially when social distancing cannot be maintained. Further research on the impacts of job security-related conc…

  • Socioeconomic risk markers of congenital Zika syndrome

    Open AccessEnny S Paixão, Qeren Hapuk R Ferreira Fernandes et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    While it is well known that socioeconomic markers are associated with a higher risk of arbovirus infections, research on the relationship between socioeconomic factors and congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between socioeconomic risk markers and live births with CZS in Brazil. We conducted a population-based study using data from all registered live births in Brazil (Live Births Information Sy…

  • Socioeconomic risk markers of arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) infections

    Open AccessGrace M Power, Aisling M Vaughan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

  • Investigation of a Sars-CoV-2 Outbreak at an Automotive Manufacturing Site in England

    Open AccessAmber I Raja, Karin van Veldhoven et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Workplace-related outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continue to occur globally. The manufacturing sector presents a particular concern for outbreaks, and a better understanding of transmission risks are needed. Between 9 March and 24 April 2021, the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) Outbreak Investigation to Understand Transmission (COVID-OUT) study undertook a comprehensive investigation of a SARS-CoV-2 …

  • Epidemic preparedness

    Open AccessLuxi Qiao, Celina Maria Turchi Martelli et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Zika virus (ZIKV) is a vectorborne infectious agent of global public health significance due to its potential to cause severe teratogenic outcomes. The question of whether health systems should consider adopting screening programmes for ZIKV infections during pregnancy warrants consideration. In this analysis, we apply the Wilson-Jungner framework to appraise the potential utility of a prenatal ZIKV screening programme, outline potential screenin…
