ADDRESSING THE EMERGENCE AND S...PREAD OF LEISHMANIASIS IN THE BORDERS OF ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, AND PARAGUAY

Addressing the Emergence and S...pread of Leishmaniasis in the Borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
more
|
Leishmaniasis is one of the mo...st significant vector-borne diseases worldwide, with more than 2 million new cases recorded every year. In South America, both cutaneous leishmaniasis (skin infections) and the more severe visceral form of the disease (affecting vital organs) are emerging in many countries and expanding northward and southward. The border areas of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay have the highest burden of the disease in the region. Its emergence is strongly associated with environmental and anthropogenic changes, or pollution caused by humans. This research project aims to enhance prevention and control responses to the disease's emergence and spread in the bordering regions through multi-country collaboration. The project team will develop evidence-based interventions which can be adapted to diverse socio-cultural and ecological settings. More specifically, researchers will: -analyze social, environmental, and biological drivers causing the emergence or re-emergence of leishmaniasis; -assess how the disease is distributed and spread in time and space in the common borders between the three countries; -identify and develop innovative and effective ecohealth-based prevention strategies involving communities, researchers, and decision-makers from different jurisdictional levels and sectors; and, -improve vector and leishmaniasis control strategies in the three countries by strengthening cross-country collaboration, skills building, and knowledge exchange. In the area under study, different forms of transmission occur in a diversity of settings, ranging from forest to urban ecosystems, and from work to domestic environments. The region also has a diverse population, including the Guarani people, migrants (transient and permanent settlements), and tourists. Researchers will study biological, environmental, and social variables associated with disease transmission risks in different types of landscapes. In each country, a specific set of interventions will be developed to address the disease's emergence and spread. The project will engage researchers and decision-makers from the three countries to respond to public health authorities' explicit demands to improve the effectiveness of control programs. Participants will include decision-makers from the local, subnational, and national levels of the three countries, and technical experts from the Pan-American Health Organization. This will enhance uptake of results and implementation of multi-sector prevention and control strategies. It will also help ensure that results are replicated and scaled up in other high-risk areas of the sub-region. The work is expected to set the foundation for novel control strategies and programs in the three countries and inform possible regional responses.

Ecohealth Interventions for Ch...agas Disease Prevention in Central America
more
|
Chagas disease is a important ...vector-borne disease that constitutes a significant burden of illness among the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). More than 10 million people in the region are infected by the parasite Trypanosoma Cruzi. About one third will develop the chronic phase of the disease, leading to over 10 000 deaths per year as a consequence of cardiac lesions.This project will be carried out in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and will involve vector control programs, academic institutions and civil society organizations from each country. It will build on the success of Ecohealth-based interventions developed in Guatemala to control Triatoma dimidiata (101812), a blood-sucking insect that is now the main vector of the disease in Central America. This earlier work showed that it was possible to reduce disease transmission through improved housing and insect management outside the house. This had the effect of preventing reinfestation and modifying the insects feeding practices such that they switched from human to chicken blood meals (chickens do not transmit the disease).This project will test the insect control program in selected border areas in the three countries where T. dimidiata is highly prevalent - Copan (Honduras), Chiquimula (Guatemala) and Santa Ana (El Salvador) - with a view to scaling it up further. Researchers will carry out baseline and post-intervention studies at 15 sites in order to assess the efficacy of the vector control measures, and their socioeconomic feasibility. It is also expected that the project will provide a model for inter-country collaboration for Chagas disease control in border areas.

The goal of the project is to ...improve the health conditions of the rural population at risk of vector-transmitted diseases through support to the Honduran National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis. The purpose is to support reduction or elimination of the transmission of Chagas and Leishmaniasis diseases and to facilitate access to necessary treatment for vulnerable, priority populations. In coordination with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), CIDA provides technical and financial support to the Honduran Ministry of Health in the implementation of its Strategy, while at the same time, it develops the Ministry's institutional capacity to manage its vector-borne disease programs as a whole. / Le but du projet est d'améliorer la situation de santé des populations rurales menacées par les maladies à transmission vectorielle à travers un appui au Plan national stratégique du Honduras pour le Chagas et les leishmanioses. Le projet vise la réduction ou l'élimination de la transmission du Chagas et des leishmanioses et veut faciliter l'accès des populations vulnérables et prioritaires aux traitements nécessaires. En coordination avec l'Organisation panaméricaine de la santé (OPS) et l'Agence japonaise de coopération internationale (JICA), l'ACDI fournit un appui technique et financier au Ministère de la santé du Honduras pour la réalisation de son Plan stratégique et pour le développement des capacités institutionelles nécessaires à la gestion de tous ses programmes de maladies à transmission vectorielle.

Eco-Bio-Social Approach to Den...gue in Latin America and the Caribbean
more
|
Recent studies have highlighte...d the importance of ecological, social, economic and other contextual variables in the resurgence and persistence of dengue and Chagas disease. This grant will support up to 10 studies of the ecosystem-related biological and social ( eco-bio-social ) determinants of the disease, and test community-directed public health interventions targeting the larval habitats of the vectors, in priority areas of endemic countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is expected that the initiative will result in a set of good practices for ecosystem-specific dengue and Chagas prevention, a research-to-policy framework to guide future interventions and a community of practice on the eco-bio-social approach to vector-borne diseases.

more
|
Leishmaniasis is one of the mo...st significant vector-borne diseases worldwide, with more than 2 million new cases recorded every year. In South America, both cutaneous leishmaniasis (skin infections) and the more severe visceral form of the disease (affecting vital organs) are emerging in many countries and expanding northward and southward. The border areas of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay have the highest burden of the disease in the region. Its emergence is strongly associated with environmental and anthropogenic changes, or pollution caused by humans. This research project aims to enhance prevention and control responses to the disease's emergence and spread in the bordering regions through multi-country collaboration. The project team will develop evidence-based interventions which can be adapted to diverse socio-cultural and ecological settings. More specifically, researchers will:-analyze social, environmental, and biological drivers causing the emergence or re-emergence of leishmaniasis;-assess how the disease is distributed and spread in time and space in the common borders between the three countries;-identify and develop innovative and effective ecohealth-based prevention strategies involving communities, researchers, and decision-makers from different jurisdictional levels and sectors; and,-improve vector and leishmaniasis control strategies in the three countries by strengthening cross-country collaboration, skills building, and knowledge exchange.In the area under study, different forms of transmission occur in a diversity of settings, ranging from forest to urban ecosystems, and from work to domestic environments. The region also has a diverse population, including the Guarani people, migrants (transient and permanent settlements), and tourists.Researchers will study biological, environmental, and social variables associated with disease transmission risks in different types of landscapes. In each country, a specific set of interventions will be developed to address the disease's emergence and spread. The project will engage researchers and decision-makers from the three countries to respond to public health authorities' explicit demands to improve the effectiveness of control programs. Participants will include decision-makers from the local, subnational, and national levels of the three countries, and technical experts from the Pan-American Health Organization. This will enhance uptake of results and implementation of multi-sector prevention and control strategies. It will also help ensure that results are replicated and scaled up in other high-risk areas of the sub-region. The work is expected to set the foundation for novel control strategies and programs in the three countries and inform possible regional responses.

Eco-Bio-Social Approach to Den...gue in Latin America and the Caribbean
more
|
Recent studies have highlighte...d the importance of ecological, social, economic and other contextual variables in the resurgence and persistence of dengue and Chagas disease. This grant will support up to 10 studies of the ecosystem-related biological and social ( eco-bio-social ) determinants of the disease, and test community-directed public health interventions targeting the larval habitats of the vectors, in priority areas of endemic countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is expected that the initiative will result in a set of good practices for ecosystem-specific dengue and Chagas prevention, a research-to-policy framework to guide future interventions and a community of practice on the eco-bio-social approach to vector-borne diseases.

Ecohealth Field Building Leade...rship in Prevention and Control of Vector Borne Diseases (LAC)
more
|
Vector-borne diseases make a s...ignificant contribution to the disease burden in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), amounting to about one million years of potential life lost due to premature mortality or disability (DALYs). Chagas disease, malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever constitute about 90% of this burden. This project will build a regional consortium that will strengthen and demonstrate the value of Ecohealth (ecosystems approaches to human health) research as a means of improving inter-sector policies on vector-borne diseases in LAC. Project activities will be organized around four strategic areas: training students and health professionals in Ecohealth approaches to vector-borne diseases; conducting research to fill knowledge gaps on the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases, including the scaling up of innovations; promoting stakeholder participation in social, technical and policy innovations to control vector borne diseases; and consolidating regional leadership in Ecohealth approaches to vector-borne diseases.

Climate Variability, Social Ch...ange and Dengue in Bangladesh
more
|
Since the year 2000, the major... cities of Bangladesh have experienced a resurgence of dengue. Dengue is a major public health concern because of its epidemic potential in any one year, and because of the limited understanding of disease transmission dynamics in the country. This project aims to advance knowledge on dengue transmission, and design community-based prevention and control strategies using an ecosystem approach. Researchers will carry out a serological study in nine city wards in Dhaka with different levels of dengue virus transmission; a clinical study of suspected cases of dengue in two hospitals; entomological surveys in the nine wards already mentioned; and an ethnographic study in three wards to examine the social and ecological factors affecting vector density. Various options for vector control will be explored through a participatory process guided by a sustainable development perspective.

Intersectoral Municipal Leader...ship for Health in Latin America
more
|
This project aims to build eco...health leadership at the municipal level in Colombia and Venezuela to address health priorities, including vector-borne diseases and food systems interventions for non-communicable disease prevention. Dengue fever and chikungunya In Colombia and Venezuela, research and governmental institutions from the Latin American Ecohealth Leadership Consortium on Vector-borne Diseases have decreased Aedes mosquito populations significantly through municipal interventions. This mosquito is responsible for transmitting two viral diseases: dengue fever and chikungunya. Dengue and chikungunya interventions will be scaled up in three affected municipalities. Both diseases are responsible for rapidly growing health and economic burdens in the two countries. The project is expected to generate new knowledge on factors affecting policy adoption and scaling up: -institutional capacity gaps -early involvement and leadership of municipal players -good governance -costs -validating impact on disease incidence The evidence should help researchers and governments replicate the project at a larger scale. National and municipal governments and the World Health Organization are providing co-funding for the project. Food systems, healthy diet, and incentives The food systems and healthy diets study will take place in a rural municipality of Colombia. This region has one of the highest agricultural outputs in the country. However, it also has high rates of malnutrition among children and obesity in adult populations. The study will analyze local factors associated with the rise of obesity and diabetes, such as food systems and lifestyle determinants that favour unhealthy diets in rural areas. In the study's second step, researchers will pilot test an inter-sector approach. The aim is to promote municipal regulatory incentives for food and health systems, and community and workplace environments. Researchers will use a participatory methodology that involves multi-sector municipal committees, together with qualitative and quantitative methods. Testing ways to decrease diseases The project will analyze the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of scaling up interventions aimed at dealing with two emerging mosquito-borne diseases. The food and healthy diets study will analyze the basic food basket per home, family anthropometric indicators for nutritional status (underweight, stunting, etc.), feeding habits, and blood glucose levels. The project is expected to contribute to -stronger municipal players acting as public health leaders -effective scaled up solutions that decrease dengue and chikungunya incidence rates -municipal inter-sectoral approaches that contribute to preventing obesity and diabetes

This project will develop a Ch...agas control partnership strategy in Central America. It will establish research collaborations, seek new funding partners, and set the basis for an integrated Chagas control initiative to eliminate disease transmission and consolidate novel diagnosis and treatment approaches. About Chagas disease Chagas disease is one of the most significant vector-borne diseases in Latin America. It causes a tremendous burden of disease among poor populations. In the disease's chronic phase, about one-third of infected persons can experience heart failure and death. In this region, about 6 to 10 million people are infected by Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes the disease. One of the Chagas hot spots is Central America, where 400,000 people are infected. The current main vector, Triatoma dimidiata, is a native species with the capacity to re-infest houses only a few months after insecticide spraying. Partnerships for Chagas management There is now momentum for launching a major Central American initiative based on the successful results of novel vector management strategies, including low-cost house improvement techniques. Collaboration between IDRC and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) will help support this multi-agency effort to develop a pathway that ensures a major impact at scale. IDRC and PAHO will support a meeting of the Intergovernmental Chagas Control Sub-Regional Committee to discuss the current situation in Central America and submit a proposal for the elimination of Chagas transmission as a public health problem in priority geographic areas. Gaps analysis, opportunities, interventions In the planning stage, researchers will conduct an in-depth analysis of priority areas of transmission and sub-regional gaps in Chagas control. They will analyze the most promising opportunities and interventions for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment with a priority focus on mothers and children. This exploration will allow them to gather strategic stakeholders to plan and commit to complementary efforts that address prevention, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. The outcome will be an alignment of national and international players, including donor partners, behind a major initiative to eliminate Chagas transmission in Central America by 2025. Chagas control challenges go beyond eliminating Chagas transmission. As a result, this exploration will aim to involve strategic players and donor agencies interested in developing novel approaches and tools for diagnosing and treating Chagas disease. Preventing mother to baby transmission is also a regional priority because the treatment of positive newborns is highly successful if diagnosed during pregnancy.

Addressing the Emergence and S...pread of Leishmaniasis in the Borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
more
|
Leishmaniasis is one of the mo...st significant vector-borne diseases worldwide, with more than 2 million new cases recorded every year. In South America, both cutaneous leishmaniasis (skin infections) and the more severe visceral form of the disease (affecting vital organs) are emerging in many countries and expanding northward and southward. The border areas of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay have the highest burden of the disease in the region. Its emergence is strongly associated with environmental and anthropogenic changes, or pollution caused by humans. This research project aims to enhance prevention and control responses to the disease's emergence and spread in the bordering regions through multi-country collaboration. The project team will develop evidence-based interventions which can be adapted to diverse socio-cultural and ecological settings. More specifically, researchers will: -analyze social, environmental, and biological drivers causing the emergence or re-emergence of leishmaniasis; -assess how the disease is distributed and spread in time and space in the common borders between the three countries; -identify and develop innovative and effective ecohealth-based prevention strategies involving communities, researchers, and decision-makers from different jurisdictional levels and sectors; and, -improve vector and leishmaniasis control strategies in the three countries by strengthening cross-country collaboration, skills building, and knowledge exchange. In the area under study, different forms of transmission occur in a diversity of settings, ranging from forest to urban ecosystems, and from work to domestic environments. The region also has a diverse population, including the Guarani people, migrants (transient and permanent settlements), and tourists. Researchers will study biological, environmental, and social variables associated with disease transmission risks in different types of landscapes. In each country, a specific set of interventions will be developed to address the disease's emergence and spread. The project will engage researchers and decision-makers from the three countries to respond to public health authorities' explicit demands to improve the effectiveness of control programs. Participants will include decision-makers from the local, subnational, and national levels of the three countries, and technical experts from the Pan-American Health Organization. This will enhance uptake of results and implementation of multi-sector prevention and control strategies. It will also help ensure that results are replicated and scaled up in other high-risk areas of the sub-region. The work is expected to set the foundation for novel control strategies and programs in the three countries and inform possible regional responses.

Intersectoral Municipal Leader...ship for Health in Latin America
more
|
This project aims to build eco...health leadership at the municipal level in Colombia and Venezuela to address health priorities, including vector-borne diseases and food systems interventions for non-communicable disease prevention. Dengue fever and chikungunya In Colombia and Venezuela, research and governmental institutions from the Latin American Ecohealth Leadership Consortium on Vector-borne Diseases have decreased Aedes mosquito populations significantly through municipal interventions. This mosquito is responsible for transmitting two viral diseases: dengue fever and chikungunya. Dengue and chikungunya interventions will be scaled up in three affected municipalities. Both diseases are responsible for rapidly growing health and economic burdens in the two countries. The project is expected to generate new knowledge on factors affecting policy adoption and scaling up: -institutional capacity gaps -early involvement and leadership of municipal players -good governance -costs -validating impact on disease incidence The evidence should help researchers and governments replicate the project at a larger scale. National and municipal governments and the World Health Organization are providing co-funding for the project. Food systems, healthy diet, and incentives The food systems and healthy diets study will take place in a rural municipality of Colombia. This region has one of the highest agricultural outputs in the country. However, it also has high rates of malnutrition among children and obesity in adult populations. The study will analyze local factors associated with the rise of obesity and diabetes, such as food systems and lifestyle determinants that favour unhealthy diets in rural areas. In the study's second step, researchers will pilot test an inter-sector approach. The aim is to promote municipal regulatory incentives for food and health systems, and community and workplace environments. Researchers will use a participatory methodology that involves multi-sector municipal committees, together with qualitative and quantitative methods. Testing ways to decrease diseases The project will analyze the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of scaling up interventions aimed at dealing with two emerging mosquito-borne diseases. The food and healthy diets study will analyze the basic food basket per home, family anthropometric indicators for nutritional status (underweight, stunting, etc.), feeding habits, and blood glucose levels. The project is expected to contribute to -stronger municipal players acting as public health leaders -effective scaled up solutions that decrease dengue and chikungunya incidence rates -municipal inter-sectoral approaches that contribute to preventing obesity and diabetes

CONTROL AND ELIMINATION OF HEL...MINTH ZOONOSES IN THE GREATER MEKONG SUBREGION

|
Control and Elimination of Hel...minth Zoonoses in the Greater Mekong Subregion
more
|
This project will contribute e...vidence to help control and eliminate schistosomiasis and liver fluke infections in the Greater Mekong Subregion. This economic area is bound by the Mekong River, covering 2.6 million square kilometres, and includes a combined population of 326 million in Burma, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Parasites and disease burdens in the Mekong Infectious helminth parasites are a major health issue affecting humans and animals in the region. Infections from schistosoma and liver fluke parasites can lead to severe disease, including anemia, stunted growth, malnutrition, and liver cancer. The parasites that cause these diseases have complex life cycles. They move through humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. Contaminated water sources, poor sanitation, and risky food practices help spread them. Addressing the problem before it spreads While health authorities have reduced the overall numbers of cases (mainly through mass drug treatments of at-risk populations), parasitic infections continue to persist at high rates in certain communities. This is especially true for people living in poor and resource-limited settings. In some areas of Laos, for example, the prevalence of schistosomiasis is above 50%. The parasite reservoirs threaten to spread to other communities that have been disease-free, which would reverse the public health gains made in these countries. Parasite prevention and control This project expands on research from the Ecohealth Emerging Infectious Diseases Initiative, where researchers identified and targeted environmental, socio-cultural, and agricultural drivers of parasite transmission. Researchers will use advanced mathematical and epidemiological tools to better understand these transmission pathways: how much they contribute to transmission in different socio-economic and demographic contexts, and at local, national, and regional levels. They will then optimize interventions to prevent and control the parasites, and make them cost-effective and feasible in resource-limited settings. The team will work with national and international players to mobilize investments to control and eliminate helminth diseases, and to multiply these research outcomes across Southeast Asia.

ADDRESSING THE EMERGENCE AND S...PREAD OF LEISHMANIASIS IN THE BORDERS OF ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, AND PARAGUAY

Addressing the Emergence and S...pread of Leishmaniasis in the Borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
more
|
Leishmaniasis is one of the mo...st significant vector-borne diseases worldwide, with more than 2 million new cases recorded every year. In South America, both cutaneous leishmaniasis (skin infections) and the more severe visceral form of the disease (affecting vital organs) are emerging in many countries and expanding northward and southward. The border areas of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay have the highest burden of the disease in the region. Its emergence is strongly associated with environmental and anthropogenic changes, or pollution caused by humans. This research project aims to enhance prevention and control responses to the disease's emergence and spread in the bordering regions through multi-country collaboration. The project team will develop evidence-based interventions which can be adapted to diverse socio-cultural and ecological settings. More specifically, researchers will: -analyze social, environmental, and biological drivers causing the emergence or re-emergence of leishmaniasis; -assess how the disease is distributed and spread in time and space in the common borders between the three countries; -identify and develop innovative and effective ecohealth-based prevention strategies involving communities, researchers, and decision-makers from different jurisdictional levels and sectors; and, -improve vector and leishmaniasis control strategies in the three countries by strengthening cross-country collaboration, skills building, and knowledge exchange. In the area under study, different forms of transmission occur in a diversity of settings, ranging from forest to urban ecosystems, and from work to domestic environments. The region also has a diverse population, including the Guarani people, migrants (transient and permanent settlements), and tourists. Researchers will study biological, environmental, and social variables associated with disease transmission risks in different types of landscapes. In each country, a specific set of interventions will be developed to address the disease's emergence and spread. The project will engage researchers and decision-makers from the three countries to respond to public health authorities' explicit demands to improve the effectiveness of control programs. Participants will include decision-makers from the local, subnational, and national levels of the three countries, and technical experts from the Pan-American Health Organization. This will enhance uptake of results and implementation of multi-sector prevention and control strategies. It will also help ensure that results are replicated and scaled up in other high-risk areas of the sub-region. The work is expected to set the foundation for novel control strategies and programs in the three countries and inform possible regional responses.

INTEGRATED ARBOVIRUS MANAGEMEN...T, PREVENTION, AND CONTROL WORKSHOP

Integrated arbovirus managemen...t, prevention, and control workshop
more
|
The Integrated arbovirus manag...ement, prevention, and control workshop in Vietnam brought together key local and regional stakeholders to discuss and define challenges, needs assessment, economic analysis, burden, and relevant operational and technical activities related to the integrated management, prevention, and control of emerging arboviruses. Arboviruses are transmitted by mosquitoes, ticks, or other arthropods. They include encephalitis, dengue, and yellow fever. The timing is relevant, as many questions still remain following the outbreaks of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya in Latin America, and there are many more unanswered questions in the Asian context. Organized by Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, the workshop brought together participants from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam to focus on collaboration aimed at dengue and extend this to include other regionally relevant arboviruses. The workshop was held two days ahead of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) Dengue Day. Dengue Day aims to strengthen regional cooperation and secure commitment for efforts to control and prevent dengue in ASEAN Member States. The timing of the workshop allowed ASEAN participants to return and join Dengue Day activities in their countries and share the workshop outputs. The funding came from IDRC and Sanofi Pasteur, both organizations that support new knowledge generation and sharing to enhance integrated arbovirus interventions relevant to each country's context. The workshop will generate a final meeting report with recommendations that may serve to influence operational and regional/national strategies.

ALLIANCES FOR CHAGAS ELIMINATI...ON IN CENTRAL AMERICA
more
|
Alliances for Chagas Eliminati...on in Central America
more
|
Global economic losses caused ...by Chagas disease are estimated at US$7 billion per year. In Central America, 5 million poor people living in houses made of mud, abode, or thatch materials are at risk of contracting Chagas disease. The most important Chagas vector in the region is Triatoma dimidiata, a native insect with the capacity to re-infest houses a few months after chemical spraying. Despite longstanding insecticide-based control measures to eliminate household infestation, Chagas transmission persists in many rural areas of the region. Following the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Committee for Chagas Control in Central America and Mexico (November 2015), novel control interventions including house improvements will soon start in priority disease hotspots. Past research has shown that long lasting, low-cost, and culturally adapted house improvements are successful in making houses refractory to vector re-infestation and prevent infection. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of eliminating Chagas as a public health threat in a high-endemic area, and set the basis for its replication in other hotspots of Central America and Mexico. Ultimately, the outcomes of this project will not only impact disease transmission but also significantly improve the living conditions of 32,400 vulnerable people in rural Guatemala. The project will take place in the most important hotspot of Chagas transmission located in the Guatemala - El Salvador border and target 48 rural communities of the department of Jutiapa in Guatemala. An integrated disease control plan will combine community inter-sectoral actions to reduce transmission risk factors and facilitate timely diagnoses and treatment of infected individuals. Multi-sector alliances in Guatemala have been established between municipal governments, the Ministry of Health, international NGO's, community organizations, and national and international universities to lead research implementation and lay the foundations for taking to scale the goal of eliminating Chagas disease in the region. The International Development Research Centre in partnership with the Drugs for Neglected Disease Initiative, in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization, aim to expand donor support and local action to halt the transmission of this entirely preventable, costly and debilitating disease.

ALLIANCES FOR CHAGAS ELIMINATI...ON IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Alliances for Chagas Eliminati...on in Central America
more
|
Global economic losses caused ...by Chagas disease are estimated at US$7 billion per year. In Central America, 5 million poor people living in houses made of mud, abode, or thatch materials are at risk of contracting Chagas disease. The most important Chagas vector in the region is Triatoma dimidiata, a native insect with the capacity to re-infest houses a few months after chemical spraying. Despite longstanding insecticide-based control measures to eliminate household infestation, Chagas transmission persists in many rural areas of the region. Following the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Committee for Chagas Control in Central America and Mexico (November 2015), novel control interventions including house improvements will soon start in priority disease hotspots. Past research has shown that long lasting, low-cost, and culturally adapted house improvements are successful in making houses refractory to vector re-infestation and prevent infection. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of eliminating Chagas as a public health threat in a high-endemic area, and set the basis for its replication in other hotspots of Central America and Mexico. Ultimately, the outcomes of this project will not only impact disease transmission but also significantly improve the living conditions of 32,400 vulnerable people in rural Guatemala. The project will take place in the most important hotspot of Chagas transmission located in the Guatemala - El Salvador border and target 48 rural communities of the department of Jutiapa in Guatemala. An integrated disease control plan will combine community inter-sectoral actions to reduce transmission risk factors and facilitate timely diagnoses and treatment of infected individuals. Multi-sector alliances in Guatemala have been established between municipal governments, the Ministry of Health, international NGO's, community organizations, and national and international universities to lead research implementation and lay the foundations for taking to scale the goal of eliminating Chagas disease in the region. The International Development Research Centre in partnership with the Drugs for Neglected Disease Initiative, in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization, aim to expand donor support and local action to halt the transmission of this entirely preventable, costly and debilitating disease.

The goal of the project is to ...improve the health conditions of the rural population at risk of vector-transmitted diseases through support to the Honduran National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis. The purpose is to support reduction or elimination of the transmission of Chagas and Leishmaniasis diseases and to facilitate access to necessary treatment for vulnerable, priority populations. In coordination with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), CIDA provides technical and financial support to the Honduran Ministry of Health in the implementation of its Strategy, while at the same time, it develops the Ministry's institutional capacity to manage its vector-borne disease programs as a whole./ Le but du projet est d'améliorer la situation de santé des populations rurales menacées par les maladies à transmission vectorielle à travers un appui au Plan national stratégique du Honduras pour le Chagas et les leishmanioses. Le projet vise la réduction ou l'élimination de la transmission du Chagas et des leishmanioses et veut faciliter l'accès des populations vulnérables et prioritaires aux traitements nécessaires. En coordination avec l'Organisation panaméricaine de la santé (OPS) et l'Agence japonaise de coopération internationale (JICA), l'ACDI fournit un appui technique et financier au Ministère de la santé du Honduras pour la réalisation de son Plan stratégique et pour le développement des capacités institutionelles nécessaires à la gestion de tous ses programmes de maladies à transmission vectorielle.

INTEGRATED ARBOVIRUS MANAGEMEN...T, PREVENTION, AND CONTROL WORKSHOP

Integrated arbovirus managemen...t, prevention, and control workshop
more
|
The Integrated arbovirus manag...ement, prevention, and control workshop in Vietnam brought together key local and regional stakeholders to discuss and define challenges, needs assessment, economic analysis, burden, and relevant operational and technical activities related to the integrated management, prevention, and control of emerging arboviruses. Arboviruses are transmitted by mosquitoes, ticks, or other arthropods. They include encephalitis, dengue, and yellow fever. The timing is relevant, as many questions still remain following the outbreaks of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya in Latin America, and there are many more unanswered questions in the Asian context. Organized by Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, the workshop brought together participants from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam to focus on collaboration aimed at dengue and extend this to include other regionally relevant arboviruses. The workshop was held two days ahead of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) Dengue Day. Dengue Day aims to strengthen regional cooperation and secure commitment for efforts to control and prevent dengue in ASEAN Member States. The timing of the workshop allowed ASEAN participants to return and join Dengue Day activities in their countries and share the workshop outputs. The funding came from IDRC and Sanofi Pasteur, both organizations that support new knowledge generation and sharing to enhance integrated arbovirus interventions relevant to each country's context. The workshop will generate a final meeting report with recommendations that may serve to influence operational and regional/national strategies.

ADDRESSING THE EMERGENCE AND S...PREAD OF LEISHMANIASIS IN THE BORDERS OF ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, AND PARAGUAY

Addressing the Emergence and S...pread of Leishmaniasis in the Borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
more
|
Leishmaniasis is one of the mo...st significant vector-borne diseases worldwide, with more than 2 million new cases recorded every year. In South America, both cutaneous leishmaniasis (skin infections) and the more severe visceral form of the disease (affecting vital organs) are emerging in many countries and expanding northward and southward. The border areas of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay have the highest burden of the disease in the region. Its emergence is strongly associated with environmental and anthropogenic changes, or pollution caused by humans. This research project aims to enhance prevention and control responses to the disease's emergence and spread in the bordering regions through multi-country collaboration. The project team will develop evidence-based interventions which can be adapted to diverse socio-cultural and ecological settings. More specifically, researchers will: -analyze social, environmental, and biological drivers causing the emergence or re-emergence of leishmaniasis; -assess how the disease is distributed and spread in time and space in the common borders between the three countries; -identify and develop innovative and effective ecohealth-based prevention strategies involving communities, researchers, and decision-makers from different jurisdictional levels and sectors; and, -improve vector and leishmaniasis control strategies in the three countries by strengthening cross-country collaboration, skills building, and knowledge exchange. In the area under study, different forms of transmission occur in a diversity of settings, ranging from forest to urban ecosystems, and from work to domestic environments. The region also has a diverse population, including the Guarani people, migrants (transient and permanent settlements), and tourists. Researchers will study biological, environmental, and social variables associated with disease transmission risks in different types of landscapes. In each country, a specific set of interventions will be developed to address the disease's emergence and spread. The project will engage researchers and decision-makers from the three countries to respond to public health authorities' explicit demands to improve the effectiveness of control programs. Participants will include decision-makers from the local, subnational, and national levels of the three countries, and technical experts from the Pan-American Health Organization. This will enhance uptake of results and implementation of multi-sector prevention and control strategies. It will also help ensure that results are replicated and scaled up in other high-risk areas of the sub-region. The work is expected to set the foundation for novel control strategies and programs in the three countries and inform possible regional responses.
