Newest firstBackgroundEnteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A, remains a major concern in low-and middle-income countries, with treatment increasingly complicated by antimicrobial resistance. Typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) offer a promising intervention, but their impact on circulating lineages and population structure remains poorly understood. Nepal introduced a nationwide TCV programm…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundWhile typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCV) offer promise for reducing risk in endemic settings, their population-level impact remains unclear. In 2022, Nepal introduced TCV nationally on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted healthcare services, surveillance, and potentially typhoid transmission dynamics, complicating vaccine impact evaluation. We investigated the impact of TCV introduction ami…
Open article record in new tab ↗Accurate diagnostics are essential for disease control and elimination efforts. However, access to diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is hindered by limited healthcare infrastructure in many NTD-endemic regions, as well as by reliance on time- and labor-intensive diagnostic methods, such as smear microscopy. New diagnostic tools that are portable, rapid, low-cost, and meet World Health Organization…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundLimitations in laboratory diagnostic capacity and reporting delays have hampered efforts to mitigate and control the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic globally. Syndromic surveillance of COVID-19 is an important public health tool that can help detect outbreaks, mobilize a rapid response, and thereby reduce morbidity and mortality. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether syndromic surveillan…
