Exciting strides in the fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases (#NTDs)! cor-ntd.org/news-stories/blo… The recent Coalition for Operational Research on NTDs Meeting in Sydney, co-hosted by UQ (@UQ_News), discussed strategies and challenges in the Pacific Islands.

One previously confirmed case of Japanese Encephalitis from Victoria has been reclassified as Murray Valley encephalitis, bringing the Australian #JEV outbreak total to 45 cases Check doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taad059… for more details #PublicHealth #Flaviviruses @lau_colleen @drsarahmac

ACTM April’s webinar: “The evolving JE situation in Australia: What Clinicians need to know”, tomorrow at 7.00 pm, hosted by @DrDebTravelDr To join, register here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi… 🦟✈️🌏💉

Our latest paper about #JEV is a clinical trial that shows that a single 0.1mL intradermal dose of JE #vaccine is safe and immunogenic in healthy adults. 💉💪🎉 More: doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taac122 Kudos @lau_colleen @DrDebTravelDr and colleagues! @UQMedicine

This retrospective cohort used data linkage to investigate #hepatitisB prevalence in women in the NT (2005-15). More: doi.org/10.33321/cdi.2022.46… Great work @amalidyda and colleagues! @UQMedicine @healthgovau

It is possible to observe a five-fold increase in #ESBL-Ec incidence rate from 2010-19 and a clustered distribution was identified after 2014. Hot spots were more prevalent in Outback and Far North remote Queensland regions. @UQMedicine @RBWHFoundation

Results suggest substantial spatiotemporal variation in #anaemia prevalence and severity. Despite the 5-year MDA programme and evident reduction of anaemia overtime, pockets of high prevalence of anaemia and moderate/high-severity anaemia were identified.

And the answer is letter C. Pretty scary, right? 🦠🦠🦠

The @IDNET_UQ team is glad to participate of the 2022 @UQMedicine School of Public Health #HDR Conference! Great to hear high quality research from other teams and to share our work! Congratulations @beatris_mmartin and @ramonam22 for the presentations!
