Screening is one possible tool for monitoring infectious diseases among migrants. However, there limited information on screening programmes targeted newly arrived migrants in EU/EEA countries. Our aim was to investigate the implementation, practices and usefulness of these programmes. We conducted a survey country experts from countries Switzerland, asking whether their had implemented also estimated association between implementation rate asylum-seekers population. Of countries, 16 (59%)...
International literature suggests that disadvantaged groups are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2 infection due to poorer living/working conditions barriers healthcare access. Yet, date, there is no evidence this disproportionate impact on non-national individuals, including economic migrants, short-term travellers refugees.We analyzed data the Italian surveillance system all COVID-19 laboratory-confirmed cases tested positive beginning outbreak (20th February) 19th...
Due to several factors, such as environmental and climate changes, the risk of health threats originating at human–animal–environment interface, including vector-borne diseases (VBDs) zoonoses, is increasing. Low-resource settings struggle counter these multidimensional risks due their already-strained systems are therefore disproportionally affected by impact caused changes. Systemic approaches like One Health (OH) sought strengthen prevention preparedness strategies addressing drivers...
Background: Adolescent girls between 15 and 19 years of age make up just over one-fifth the women Kenya, they account for 14% all births. This study explored barriers to access utilization sexual reproductive health services (SRH) pregnant adolescents teenage mothers in Kakamega County (Kenya). Methods: The qualitative included a desk review, interviews focus group discussions validation workshop with engaged stakeholders produce framework action. Results: main emerged following domains:...
Profound geopolitical changes have impacted the southern and eastern Mediterranean since 2010 defined a context of instability that is still affecting several countries today. Insecurity combined with reduction border controls has led to major population movements in region migration surges from affected Europe, especially Italy. To respond humanitarian emergency triggered by this surge, Italy implemented syndromic surveillance system order rapidly detect potential public health emergencies...
Changing migration dynamics in the Mediterranean Sea and differences infectious diseases (ID) burden between countries of origin have raised questions whether public health actions are needed to avoid transmission ID. Screening newly arrived migrants for ID is one monitoring option, offering opportunities prevention, early detection treatment. The authors conducted a survey among country experts non-European Union Black Sea, order explore current screening practices policies migrants....
In sub-Saharan Africa, co-infection with HIV and malaria is probably very common. Although an interaction between the two infections biologically plausible, it has not been investigated thoroughly.To evaluate association firstly parasites occurrence of acute fever, secondly infection clinical malaria, defined as presence fever parasites.A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in Gulu District (northern Uganda), area endemic for a high prevalence. testing parasite quantification...
Abstract Background In the Mediterranean and Black Sea Region, arbovirus infections are emerging infectious diseases. Their surveillance can benefit from one health inter‐sectoral collaboration; however, no standardized methodology exists to study One Health surveillance. Methods We designed a situation analysis document how integration of laboratory/clinical human, animal entomological arboviruses was being implemented in Region. applied framework assess three levels integration:...
The implementation of preparedness strategies to prevent and mitigate the impact global health threats poses several challenges. It should promptly identify cross-cutting drivers pandemic threats, assess context-specific risks, engage multiple stakeholders, translate complex data from sources into accessible information for action. This requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary multisectoral effort engaging systems that, most time, work in isolation. One Health (OH) approach promotes...
There are limitations in our capacity to interpret point estimates and trends of infectious diseases occurring among diverse migrant populations living the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA). The aim this study was design a data collection framework that could capture information on factors associated with increased risk EU/EEA. authors defined according multi-dimensional performed systematic literature review order identify whether those well reflected reported for disease these...
Background: The World Health Organization recommends that host countries ensure appropriate vaccinations to refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. However, information on vaccination strategies targeting migrants in is limited. Methods: In 2015–2016 we carried out a survey among national experts from governmental bodies of 15 non-EU the Mediterranean Black Sea order document share newly arrived Results: Four reported having regulations/procedures supporting immunization at level, one...
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases zoonoses indicate the importance of One Health (OH) approach for early warning. At present, even when surveillance data are available, they infrequently timeously shared between health sectors. In context MediLabSecure (MLS) Project, we investigated collection a set indicators able to provide implementation integrated warning systems in 22 MLS countries Mediterranean, Black Sea Sahel regions. We used an online questionnaire (covering vector,...
Following civil unrest in North Africa early 2011, there was a large influx of migrants Italy. A syndromic surveillance system set up April to monitor the health this migrant population and respond rapidly any emergency. In first six months, produced 67 alerts across all syndromes monitored four alarms. There were no emergencies, however, indicating that migration flow not associated with an increased risk communicable disease transmission
TB Programs should promote the use of digital health platforms, like Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to collect patients' information, thus reducing data incompleteness and low accuracy eventually improving care. Nevertheless, potential systems remains largely unexploited in low-resource settings. Angola is one 14 countries with a triple burden TB, TB/HIV MDR-TB (multidrug-resistant TB) it among three countries, together Congo Liberia that have never completed drug-resistance survey so far....
COVID-19 showed once more, and very evidently, that some disadvantaged subgroups, including migrants refugees (M&Rs), are at higher risk of contracting a disease or suffering from its severe consequences in areas with high transmission [1,2].This may be due to their living conditions, which make physical distancing difficult, and/or legal status, exclude them health care services.Additionally, reminded us M&Rs tend also have suboptimal vaccination coverage compared the general population...
The Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità – ISS) is implementing an operational research project to contribute the development a harmonized training curriculum across Pan-European Region for in-service professionals who need integrate One (OH) approaches in prevention and preparedness plans strategies, finally foster OH operationalization health security. Gaps competencies have been identified with literature review, as part current project. These gaps were...

The Early Alerting and Reporting (EAR) project, launched in 2008, is aimed at improving global early alerting risk assessment evaluating the feasibility opportunity of integrating analysis biological, chemical, radionuclear (CBRN), pandemic influenza threats. At a time when no international collaborations existed field event-based surveillance, EAR's innovative approach involved both epidemic intelligence experts internet-based biosurveillance system providers framework an collaboration...
