Costs of dengue prevention and incremental cost of dengue outbreak control in Guantanamo, Cuba Universiteit Gent

Alberto Baly Gil, Maria E Toledo, Karina Rodriguez, Juan R Benitez, Maritza Rodriguez, Marleen Boelaert, Veerle Vanlerberghe, Patrick Van Der Stuyft
Objective: To assess the economic cost of routine Aedes aegypti control in an at-risk environment without dengue endemicity and the incremental costs incurred during a sporadic outbreak.Methods: The study was conducted in 2006 in the city of Guantanamo, Cuba. We took a societal perspective to calculate costs in months without dengue transmission (January-July) and during an outbreak (August-December). Data sources were bookkeeping records, ...

A shift in dengue cases toward the adult population, accompanied by an increased risk of severe cases of dengue in the elderly, has created an important emerging issue in the past decade. To understand the level of past DENV infection among older adults after a large dengue outbreak occurred in southern Taiwan in 2015, we screened 1498 and 2603 serum samples from healthy residents aged ≥ 40 years in Kaohsiung City and Tainan City, ...

Dengue illness index—A tool to characterize the subjective dengue illness experience KU Leuven

Kim Hendrickx
Dengue virus infections are a major cause of febrile illness that significantly affects individual and societal productivity and drives up health care costs principally in the developing world. Two dengue vaccine candidates are in advanced clinical efficacy trials in Latin America and Asia, and another has been licensed in more than fifteen countries but its uptake has been limited. Despite these advances, standardized metrics for comparability ...

Epidemiology of travel-associated dengue from 2007 to 2022: A GeoSentinel analysis Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Alexandre Duvignaud, Rhett J. Stoney, Kristina M Angelo, Lin H. Chen, P Cattaneo, L Motta, Federico Giovanni Gobbi, Emmanuel Bottieau, Daniel L. Bourque, Corneliu Petru Popescu, et al.
Background
Dengue is a leading cause of febrile illness among international travellers. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of imported dengue in returning travellers evaluated at GeoSentinel sites from 2007 to 2022.

Methods
We retrieved GeoSentinel records of dengue among travellers residing in non-endemic countries. We considered dengue confirmed when diagnosed by a positive dengue virus ...

Molecular surveillance of circulating dengue genotypes through European travelers Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

C Domingo, M Niedrig, J Gascon, G. Palacios, N Reyes, MJ Malo, O Wichmann, J Ruiz, D Schultze, M. Schunk, et al.
Background. Dengue viruses (DENV) are the most widespread arthropod-borne viruses, which have shown an unexpected geographic expansion, as well as an increase in number and severity of outbreaks in the last decades. Although the emergence of dengue is considered to be due to a number of complex factors, epidemiological studies have shown that some strains of dengue might be associated with increased severity and higher transmission rates than ...

Willingness to pay for a dengue vaccine and its associated determinants in Indonesia: A community-based, cross-sectional survey in Aceh Universiteit Hasselt

Harapan Harapan, Samsul Anwar, Aslam Bustamam, Arsil Radiansyah, Pradiba Angraini, Riny Fasli, Salwiyadi Salwiyadi, Reza Akbar Bastian, Ade Oktiviyari, Imaduddin Akmal, et al.
Vaccination strategies are being considered as a part of dengue prevention programs in endemic countries. To accelerate the introduction of dengue vaccine into the public sector program and private markets, understanding the private economic benefits of a dengue vaccine is therefore essential. The aim of this study was to assess the willingness to pay (WTP) for a dengue vaccine among community members in Indonesia and its associated explanatory ...
