Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.

Visualization of the Evolution and Transmission of Circulating Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus (cVDPV) Outbreaks in the African Region

Bio-Protocol
Since the creation of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988, significant progress has been made toward attaining a poliovirus-free world. This has resulted in the eradication of wild poliovirus (WPV) serotypes two (WPV2) and three (WPV3)

Assessment of poliovirus antibody seroprevalence in high risk areas for vaccine derived poliovirus transmission in Madagascar

Heliyon, 2018
Background: Vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV) outbreaks typically occur in areas of low poliovirus immunity. Madagascar successfully eradicated wild poliovirus in 1997; however, multiple VDPV outbreaks have occurred since then, and numerous vaccination

Brokers, Collaborators and Knowledge Translators: Expanding the Role of Research Assistants in Geographic Research

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While ‘local’ research assistants (RA) often play a key role in knowledge production in fieldwork‐based disciplines like geography, their role and agency often remain silenced. This paper brings together scholarship in feminist geography and critical development studies to reposition RAs as brokers, collaborators, and knowledge translators.

Epidemiology and genetic characterization of orphan polioviruses in Africa, 2022–2024: Unmasking silent transmission and implications for eradication

Vaccine: X
Background: The continued detection of orphan polioviruses, defined by ≥ 1.5 % nucleotide divergence in the VP1-coding region of the virus compared with the VP1 of previous circulating isolates, presents a significant challenge to polio eradication ...
