Surveys were conducted in three neighbourhoods of Barranquilla, the main seaport Colombia, to identify, using counts pupae water containers during wet and dry seasons, most productive Aedes aegypti breeding sites. Overall, 3433 premises investigated season 3563 dry, representing, respectively, 82.3% 84.6% total numbers study areas. Despite a reasonably reliable supply piped water, there still some large storage for domestic (cement ground tanks plastic, metal cement drums) area. Although...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) have recently emerged as globally important infections. This study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal heterogeneity in occurrence of CHIKV ZIKV outbreaks throughout major international seaport city Barranquilla, Colombia 2014 2016 potential for clustering. Incidence data were fitted using multiple Bayesian Poisson models based on explanatory variables risk factors identified from other studies options random effects. A best fit model was used...
To assess whether the 'economic boom' in tropical seaport city of Barranquilla improved tapped water supplies to socio-economically poor neighbourhoods resulting in: (1) their reduced use for domestic water-storage large (> 1,000-litre) custom-made cement tanks which are principal Aedes aegypti breeding sites and (2) pupae/person index (PPI) values below established 0.5–1.5 PPI arbovirus transmission-threshold value, compared matched the: (a) pre-economic boom (2004) period (b)...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) have recently emerged as global infections with consequential disability adjusted life years (DALYs) economic burden. This study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal heterogeneity in occurrence of CHIKV ZIKV outbreaks throughout Barranquilla, Colombia during 2014 2016 explored potential for clustering. Incidence data were fitted using multiple Bayesian Poisson models based on a suite explanatory variables risk factors options random effects. A best...
