Mapping the global risk of chikungunya virus endemicity and autochthonous transmission following importation
Chikungunya virus, emerging as an increasingly significant global health threat, poses significant uncertainty regarding the global risk of its endemicity and autochthonous transmission following importation. In this study, we established a multi-source database spanning 70 years (1953–2023), synthesizing...
Dengue Fever
Detection of circulating mosquito-borne arboviruses in Brazil using travellers as sentinels
Travellers visiting countries endemic for arboviral diseases may introduce arboviruses to new areas where competent vectors are already present, potentially leading to disease outbreaks in populations that have not previously been exposed. To assess exposure risks for travellers and identify which arboviruses...
Hepatitis B
The cascade of care for hepatitis B – any lessons from the HIV field?
HIV and hepatitis B continue to be global public health challenges. Each virus causes 1.2 million new infections annually. By 2025, roughly 40 million people live with HIV, and over 250 million have chronic hepatitis B. Using PubMed, we analyzed approaches to control HIV and HBV epidemics. Whereas no...
Typhoid
Global typhoid fever incidence: an updated systematic review with meta-analysis
Contemporary evidence on the incidence of typhoid fever is essential to inform decision making for typhoid prevention by vaccine introduction and non-vaccine measures. We aimed to update our previous systematic review and meta-analysis on the global incidence of typhoid fever. We performed a systematic...
Lyme Disease
Bridging the gap: Insights in the immunopathology of Lyme borreliosis
Lyme borreliosis (LB), or Lyme disease, is the most common vector‐borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere caused by infection with extracellular spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) genospecies transmitted by hard‐bodied Ixodes ticks [1]. The majority...
