Summary: The study described the status of HIV burden, prevention, and treatment in Ugandan fishing communities. It revealed a significant lack of evidence in terms of what works in HIV prevention and ART adherence, highlighting the need for intervention studies to fill the current evidence gaps.

Summary: The distribution of HIV self-test kits by trained lay people in the community has led to increased uptake of HIV testing services. This qualitative study conducted in a fishing community in Uganda explored the experiences and challenges faced by peer-leaders in distributing the kits. Findings suggest that lay people can be trained as effective distributors of HIV self-test kits to improve testing services in the community.

Summary: The prevalence of orphanhood among adolescents in the Rakai region of Uganda declined significantly after the widespread availability and uptake of HIV combination prevention strategies such as ART and male circumcision. These reductions in orphanhood are promising for the health and social outcomes of young people.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of virological non-suppression among adult males attending HIV care services in fishing communities. The findings revealed alarmingly high rates of virological non-suppression in these communities, exceeding the threshold set by UNAIDS. Several key determinants were identified, including hazardous alcohol use, unemployment, and barriers to HIV treatment services.

Summary: Depression commonly improves after ART initiation in persons with HIV, with two distinct improvement phenotypes identified among the study cohort. However, a subset of patients did not show any symptom changes post-ART. Factors associated with subgroup membership included pre-ART functional capacity, CD4 count, BMI, hypertension, and sex. Further exploration of this heterogeneity and its biological underpinning is needed to evaluate potential therapeutic implications.

Summary: A study in high-risk fishing communities in Uganda showed that a combination of HIV prevention interventions can significantly reduce HIV transmission rates, with a projected 87% reduction in HIV incidence over 15 years. The study suggests that the goal of reducing HIV infection rates can be achieved in Ugandan fishing communities through comprehensive prevention measures.

Summary: The study found that alcohol use, working for cash or kind, being married, and having multiple sexual partners were associated with increased odds of HIV risk behavior among young people in fishing communities on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda. Intimate partner violence, however, was not found to be associated with HIV risk behavior. Interventions promoting consistent condom use and fewer sexual partnerships are crucial for this population.

Summary: Women's support for voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) was high in fishing communities along Lake Victoria in Uganda, influenced by beliefs, preferences, and knowledge. However, women felt they were not adequately involved in decision-making for VMMC and had some misconceptions.

Summary: This study conducted cross-sectional and cohort analyses using Uganda's national PrEP eligibility tool in the Rakai Community Cohort Study to estimate the prevalence of PrEP eligibility and HIV incidence associated with it. The findings showed that 29% of participants in sub-Saharan Africa met the PrEP eligibility criteria, and those eligible for PrEP had a higher HIV incidence rate.

Summary: Recruitment and retention of participants in research studies conducted in fishing communities remain a challenge. Iris scans were found to be highly acceptable and applicable for unique identification of research participants in fishing communities. However, education regarding the safety of the procedure is necessary for successful implementation of iris scanning technology in research.

Summary: The study found that using a simplified family planning education handbook for enhanced education was more effective than routine counselling in improving family planning knowledge and use among residents in Ugandan fishing communities. Innovative education interventions are recommended for remote-rural areas with low literacy levels to improve family planning knowledge and uptake.

Summary: Over the past 100 years, Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) has caused potentially lethal diseases in both animals and humans in various countries, indicating an increased risk of transmission. The study found that in 24 countries, detection of RVFV antibodies in animals or humans was common, suggesting that the transmission of RVFV may go unnoticed.

Summary: The study found that the operating capacity and face-mask adherence in schools have a significant impact on the number of infections and deaths related to COVID-19. Remote operation of schools can significantly reduce the risk of epidemic spread, while high operating capacity and low face-mask adherence may lead to a surge in infections and deaths.

Summary: Japanese encephalitis continues to be a significant public health concern in Asia, with over one billion people estimated to live in areas suitable for local transmission of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Increases in vaccination coverage have led to a decrease in incidence and deaths from JE over the past decade, preventing hundreds of thousands of cases and deaths. The study highlights the need for targeted efforts to improve vaccination coverage in countries with high JE burden.

Summary: Short-term probabilistic forecasts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States have been crucial in communication between scientists and the public and decision-makers. The US COVID-19 Forecast Hub collected millions of predictions from various academic, industry, and independent research groups, providing accurate forecasts for short-term decision-making. Collaboration between government agencies, academic modeling teams, and industry partners plays a significant role in developing modeling capabilities to support outbreak response at different levels.

Summary: In order to respond effectively to potential outbreaks of emerging zoonotic diseases, vaccines are being developed for prioritized pathogens. Vaccination strategies targeting healthcare workers have shown to have a higher impact compared to population-wide vaccination. The current estimates are based on the epidemiology of each pathogen, but uncertainties and evolution of pathogens may alter vaccine stockpile requirements in the future.

Summary: This study presents a simulation model of COVID-19 outbreaks in a U.S. Army basic training setting and provides practical approaches to improve prevention. The findings suggest that virus introductions from trainers pose a greater risk than the number of trainees, and the risk of outbreaks is highly influenced by false-positive results during entry testing. These findings offer practical recommendations to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in basic training and ensure a continuous flow of new soldiers. The study highlights the importance of bespoke modeling to inform prevention in diverse institutional settings.

Summary: There has been an increased interest in developing a vaccine for chikungunya in recent decades due to its unpredictable transmission. To inform decision making on vaccine trials, a new framework was developed to project the expected number of endpoint events at a given site using serological data and an SIR transmission model. The results suggest that some sites may have sufficient transmission potential and susceptibility to support future vaccine trials.

Summary: The study estimates that vaccination against ten selected pathogens will have averted 69 million deaths between 2000 and 2030, with a significant impact on reducing mortality among children under 5 years old, especially from measles. The introduction of new vaccines and increases in vaccine coverage are predicted to result in a 72% reduction in lifetime mortality in the 2019 birth cohort.
