Strengthening supply chains for pathogen genomic surveillance in Asia
INTRODUCTION: While pathogen genomics using next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been recommended by the WHO as an essential tool for national communicable disease surveillance programmes, procurement and supply chain management (PSM) systems for this new technology are still evolving. To assess the status of PSM systems for pathogen genomics, we examined perspectives from end-users and manufacturers across South and Southeast Asia. METHODS: Betw…
A strategic blueprint for strengthening respiratory syncytial virus prevention among under-five children in low- and middle-income countries
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In 2023, two RSV immunisation options, including a maternal RSV vaccine and a monoclonal antibody (mAb), became approved in several high-income countries. The World Health Organization has recently prequalified the maternal vaccine and the Gavi has committed fund…
Mentorship in field epidemiology training programs in the eastern mediterranean region
Introduction: Despite its significance, mentorship within Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETP) remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess the demographic and professional profiles of FETP mentors, their mentorship practices, challenges, and training needs within the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among FETP mentors across nine EMR countries. A structured questionnaire, developed w…
Decision-making under epistemic, strategic and institutional uncertainty during Covid-19
BACKGROUND: Uncertainty is defined as limited knowledge or lack of predictability about past, present or future events. The COVID-19 pandemic management was significantly impacted by uncertainty, as the gaps between existing information and the necessary knowledge hindered decision-making. Current uncertainty literature primarily focuses on natural disasters, leaving a gap in understanding decision-making under uncertainty in times of public heal…
Evaluation of oral cholera vaccine (Euvichol-Plus) effectiveness against Vibrio cholerae in Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION: Millions of Euvichol-Plus doses have been deployed from the global oral cholera vaccine stockpile in over 20 cholera-affected countries. However, information on Euvichol-Plus's effectiveness is limited. Using this vaccine in a cholera epidemic in Dhaka, Bangladesh, provided the opportunity to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) using a test-negative design. METHODS: A two-dose regimen of Euvichol-Plus was administered to individ…
Evaluation of the National cervical cancer surveillance program in Bangladesh
Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most prevalent cancer among women in Bangladesh, with 9,640 new cases and 5,826 deaths annually. Since 2018, the Electronic Data Tracking with Population-Based Cervical and Breast Cancer Screening Program (EPCBCSP) has been implemented nationwide across 601 health centers, utilizing Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) for CC screening. However, the system had not been evaluated until now. This study aims to…
Physicians’ Intentions to Recommend Influenza Vaccine
Physicians' influenza vaccine recommendations in Bangladesh are suboptimal, influenced by gender, marital status, and attitudes. Targeted educational interventions addressing attitudinal barriers and leveraging institutional support could improve recommendation practices
Cost-effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination in WHO-defined high-risk populations in Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh carries a substantial health and economic burden of seasonal influenza, particularly among the World Health Organization (WHO)-defined high-risk populations. We implemented a modelling study to determine the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination in each of five high-risk groups (pregnant women, children under five years of age, adults with underlying health conditions, older adults (≥60 years), and healthcare personne…
Acceptability, cost-effectiveness, and capacity of a facility-based seasonal influenza vaccination among high-risk groups
The Clinicaltrials.gov registration number is NCT05996549. The registration for the protocol version 2.0 took place in August 2023, with the initial participant being enrolled in March 2022
Prevalence and risk factors for avian influenza virus (H5 and H9) contamination in peri-urban and rural live bird markets in Bangladesh
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) have been frequently detected in live bird markets (LBMs) around the world, primarily in urban areas, and have the ability to spillover to other species, including humans. Despite frequent detection of AIV in urban LBMs, the contamination of AIV on environmental surfaces in rural and peri-urban LBMs in Bangladesh is poorly documented. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the prevalence of AIV subtypes with…
Epidemiology and phylodynamics of multiple clades of H5N1 circulating in domestic duck farms in different production systems in Bangladesh
Waterfowl are considered to be natural reservoirs of the avian influenza virus (AIV). However, the dynamics of transmission and evolutionary patterns of AIV and its subtypes within duck farms in Bangladesh remain poorly documented. Hence, a cross-sectional study was conducted in nine districts of Bangladesh between 2019 and 2021, to determine the prevalence of AIV and its subtypes H5 and H9, as well as to identify risk factors and the phylodynami…
Oral cholera vaccine coverage evaluation survey
Introduction Cholera remains a significant public health concern in many parts of the world, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. Bangladesh and other impoverished nations have been severely affected by cholera outbreaks, especially in areas with a high population density. In order to mitigate the spread of cholera, oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) are recommended as a prophylactic measure. In May 2018, 775,666 of the Forcibly Disp…
Interactive Sars-CoV-2 dashboard for real-time geospatial visualisation of sewage and clinical surveillance data from Dhaka, Bangladesh
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many dashboards were created to visualise clinical case incidence. Other dashboards have displayed SARS-CoV-2 sewage data, largely from countries with formal sewage networks. However, very few dashboards from low-income and lower-middle-income countries integrated both clinical and sewage data sets. We created a dashboard to track in real-time both COVID-19 clinical cases and the level of SARS-CoV-2 virus in sewa…
