1Addressing vulnerability,building resilience:community-based adaptation to vectorborne diseases in the context of global change显示文摘Background:The threat of a rapidly changing planet-of coupled social,environmental and climatic change-pose new conceptual and practical challenges in responding to vector-borne diseases.These include non-linear and uncertain spatial-temporal change dynamics associated with climate,animals,land,water,food,settlement,conflict,ecology and human socio-cultural,economic and political-institutional systems.To date,research efforts have been dominated by disease modeling,which has provided limited practical advice to policymakers and practitioners in developing policies and programmes on the ground.Main body:In this paper,we provide an alternative biosocial perspective grounded in social science insights,drawing upon concepts of vulnerability,resilience,participation and community-based adaptation.Our analysis was informed by a realist review(provided in the Additional file 2)focused on seven major climate-sensitive vectorborne diseases:malaria,schistosomiasis,dengue,leishmaniasis,sleeping sickness,chagas disease,and rift valley fever.Here,we situate our analysis of existing community-based interventions within the context of global change processes and the wider social science literature.We identify and discuss best practices and conceptual principles that should guide future community-based efforts to mitigate human vulnerability to vector-borne diseases.We argue that more focused attention and investments are needed in meaningful public participation,appropriate technologies,the strengthening of health systems,sustainable development,wider institutional changes and attention to the social determinants of health,including the drivers of co-infection.Conclusion:In order to respond effectively to uncertain future scenarios for vector-borne disease in a changing world,more attention needs to be given to building resilient and equitable systems in the present.Kevin Louis Bardosh Sadie JRyan Kris Ebi Susan Welburn Burton Singer 2017Infectious Diseases of Poverty2017,6,1:1

4Silent circulation of poliovirus in small populations显示文摘Background:Small populations that have been isolated by conflict make vaccination and surveillance difficult,threatening polio eradication.Silent circulation is caused by asymptomatic infections.It is currently not clear whether the dynamics of waning immunity also influence the risk of silent circulation in the absence of vaccination.Such circulation can,nevertheless,be present following a declaration of elimination as a result of inadequate acute flaccid paralysis surveillance(AFPS)or environmental surveillance(ES).Methods:We have constructed a stochastic model to understand how stochastic effects alter the ability of small populations to sustain virus circulation in the absence of vaccination.We analyzed how the stochastic process determinants of the duration of silent circulation that could have been detected by ES were affected by R0,waning dynamics,population size,and AFPS sensitivity in a discrete individual stochastic model with homogeneous contagiousness and random mixing.We measured the duration of silent circulation both by the interval between detected acute flaccid paralysis(AFP)cases and the duration of circulation until elimination.Results:As R0 increased and population size increased,the interval between detected AFP cases and the duration of circulation until elimination increased.As AFPS detection rates decreased,the interval between detected AFP cases increased.There was up to a 22%chance of silent circulation lasting for more than 3 years with 100%AFP detection.The duration of silent circulation was not affected by the waning immunity dynamics.Conclusion:We demonstrated that small populations have the potential to sustain prolonged silent circulation.Surveillance in these areas should be intensified before declaring elimination.To further validate these conclusions,it is necessary to realistically relax the simplifying assumptions about mixing and waning.Celeste Vallejo James Keesling James Koopman Burton Singer 2017Infectious Disease Modelling2017,2,4:0
5Corrigendum to“Silent circulation of poliovirus in small populations”[Infectious Disease Modeling 2(2017)431e440]显示文摘An error in a previous publication in the calculation of the average age at first infection for the model is corrected here.The average age at first infection for the effective contact rates used to generate the data ranges from 1.2 to 3.3 years of age instead of 3e5 years of age as advertised in the previous version of the paper.This change has an effect on the force of infection generated by this model.In this corrigendum,we demonstrate the correct method to calculate the average age at first infection for the model.We compare the forces of infection that correspond to these ages in our model with the forces of infection in other endemic populations.We show that the modified age range corresponds to forces of infection which are higher than those that are known to exist in historical studies of polioendemic regions.Thus,the results in the paper have limited applicability to real-world endemic situations.Celeste Vallejo James Keesling James Koopman Burton Singer 2018Infectious Disease Modelling2018,3,1:0
6Multinational corporations and infectious disease: Embracing human rights management techniques显示文摘Background:Global health institutions have called for governments,international organisations and health practitioners to employ a human rights-based approach to infectious diseases.The motivation for a human rights approach is clear:poverty and inequality create conditions for infectious diseases to thrive,and the diseases,in turn,interact with social-ecological systems to promulgate poverty,inequity and indignity.Governments and intergovernmental organisations should be concerned with the control and elimination of these diseases,as widespread infections delay economic growth and contribute to higher healthcare costs and slower processes for realising universal human rights.These social determinants and economic outcomes associated with infectious diseases should interest multinational companies,partly because they have bearing on corporate productivity and,increasingly,because new global norms impose on companies a responsibility to respect human rights,including the right to health.Methods:We reviewed historical and recent developments at the interface of infectious diseases,human rights and multinational corporations.Our investigation was supplemented with field-level insights at corporate capital projects that were developed in areas of high endemicity of infectious diseases,which embraced rights-based disease control strategies.Results:Experience and literature provide a longstanding business case and an emerging social responsibility case for corporations to apply a human rights approach to health programmes at global operations.Indeed,in an increasingly globalised and interconnected world,multinational corporations have an interest,and an important role to play,in advancing rights-based control strategies for infectious diseases.Conclusions:There are new opportunities for governments and international health agencies to enlist corporate business actors in disease control and elimination strategies.Guidance offered by the United Nations in 2011 that is widely embraced by companies,governments and civil society provides a roadmap for engaging business enterprises in rights-based disease management strategies to mitigate disease transmission rates and improve human welfare outcomes.Kendyl Salcito Burton H Singer Mitchell G Weiss Mirko S Winkler Gary R Krieger Mark Wielga Jürg Utzinger 2014Infectious Diseases of Poverty2014,3,1:0
7Correction to:Addressing vulnerability,building resilience:community-based adaptation to vector-borne diseases in the context of global change显示文摘Correction After publication of this article[1]it came to our attention that the name of the author Sadie Ryan was incorrectly shown.Her correct name is Sadie J.Ryan.The original article has been updated to reflect this change.Kevin Louis Bardosh Sadie JRyan Kris Ebi Susan Welburn Burton Singer 2018Infectious Diseases of Poverty2018,7,1:0
