Low vaccine uptake and limited surveillance data hinder effective public health responses across most SEAR countries. Influenza Vaccination Surveillance Journal article https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1017-s0950268824001791-a1de84f9/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1017-s0950268824001791-a1de84f9/ Tue, 07 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT The findings document a geographic paradigm shift in dengue transmission within Bangladesh, with the largest and deadliest outbreak on record demonstrating spread beyond the capital and early in-hospital mortality. Festival-related travel, meteorological factors, and urbanization likely contributed to the changed distribution.

Treatment of nondiarrheal infection may be essential for interrupting person-to-person transmission within homes and preventing cryptosporidiosis in infants.
