Filter by:The differential and systematic diagnosis of malaria, dengue and chikungunya in patients with fever (≥38.5°C) of undetermined etiology would allow the identification of infection by these pathogens and thus limit the inappropriate use of antibiotics (discontinuation or non-initiation) and optimize the clinical management and prognosis of patients.
The Pacific region is facing several emerging and neglected diseases notably mosquito-borne diseases as malaria or arboviroses among which dengue, Ross River, chikungunya and Zika. These diseases are an important cause of illness and death in the Pacific and the occurrence of arboviruses has increased in the recent years. In humans, these mosquito-borne diseases often have very similar clinical presentations (an acute febrile syndrome often self-limiting). However, these infections can progress to severe and fatal prognosis. Numerous arboviroses outbreaks and in particular dengue outbreaks have affected Vanuatu for decades. Except for DENV and Zika for which epidemiological and virological data are available for Vanuatu, the knowledge on chikungunya and Ross River circulation is very limited and needs to be defined as both viruses have intensively circulated in the region in the past. Knowledge of the level of immune protection of the population for these mosquito-borne diseases is incomplete. For this purpose, seroprevalence studies that intend to retrospectively look for antibodies (IgG) as an evidence of previous infections by a specific pathogen would be highly informative. Knowing the serological profile of the Vanuatu population for dengue and other arboviruses as Ross River, chikungunya and Zika that could have affected the country in the past would be useful in defining the population likely to be infected by future epidemics. COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 as caused over 520 million cases since December 2019. Vanuatu has been relatively spared from the pandemic due to the establishment of a sanitary sas involving strict border control. On 04 March 2022, an active COVID-19 case was confirmed at Vila Central Hospital who had no travel history, indicating transmission at community level. Overall, a total of 8487 confirmed cases have been reported since the beginning of 2022. Local vaccination campaign was initiated in July 2021. A seroprevalence study documenting population immunity to COVID-19 will inform of the breadth of COVID-19 epidemic in Vanuatu, contributing to the evaluation of undetected infections rate. This identification of vulnerable populations will inform local public Health strategies, including targeted vaccination campaigns.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, pivotal study evaluating the final dose of VLA1553 (1 x10E4 TCID50 per dose) in comparison to a placebo control. The final dose of VLA1553 or control will be administered as single immunization on Day 1. Overall, approximately 750 male and female subjects aged 12 years to <18 years will be enrolled into the study.
Chikungunya vaccine is an inactivated virus vaccine. There will be three study arms and subjects will be vaccinated in a dose escalation manner.In each arm, vaccine will be administered on Day 1, Day 29, and Day 57. Vaccine will be administered through intramuscular route.
Phase Ib, single centre, double-blind, double-dummy placebo-controlled, randomised, stepwise dose escalated, vaccine trial to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the candidate ChAdOx1 Chik and ChAdOx1 Zika vaccines, given as a standalone vaccines or in co-administration. Healthy volunteers aged 18-50 years old, residents of the metropolitan area of Monterrey (Mexico), will be recruited as participants
Background: Zika, dengue, and chikungunya are spread by mosquitos. These diseases have a major impact on public health. This is especially true in in Southeast Asia. Non-human primates (such as macaques) could play an essential role in spreading these diseases. Researchers want to further understand the relationship between humans and these primates. They want to see how this affects how mosquito-borne viruses are spread in Southeast Asia. Objective: To describe the prevalence of Zika virus, dengue virus, and chikungunya virus in the blood of people who live close to long-tailed macaques in Thailand and Cambodia. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18-55 who have lived or worked within approximately 10 kilometers of the Wat Amphae Phnom monkey habitat in Kampong Speu, Cambodia, for a minimum of 2 years Design: Participation will last 1 day. Participants will be screened in person through an interview. Their medical history will be reviewed. Participants will give information about themselves. This will include sex, age, and behaviors related to the spread of mosquito-borne disease. For example, they will be asked about the number of water containers at their home. They will be asked about recent travel. They will be asked about the extent of their contact with the macaques. Participants will give a blood sample....
This is a Phase 2 parallel-group age- and gender-matched open label study in healthy adults 18-65 years of age to assess the safety and immunogenicity of an alum-adjuvanted chikungunya virus-like particle vaccine (PXVX0317) in prior recipients of other alphavirus vaccines versus alphavirus naïve controls.
Background: Mosquitoes and similar insects called sand flies carry parasites that can cause diseases. These viruses and parasites can spread quickly and be difficult to control. How people s bodies respond to insect bites may affect how they get infected. The response to bites is caused by the immune system, which helps fight off infections. Researchers want to study the immune response in skin to mosquito or sand fly bites and how the response changes after bites on multiple days. This may help researchers develop better vaccines. Objective: To study the immune response in skin to certain insect bites and how that changes after bites on multiple days. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-64 Design: Participants will be screened under another protocol. Women must agree to practice effective contraception or abstinence. All participants must agree to not donate blood or use certain lotions or creams on visit days. Some participants will have 2 visits over a week. Others will have 5 visits over 8 weeks. All participants will have the following at least once: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine collected Mosquito or sand fly feeding. Up to 10 insects will feed on participant s arm for up to 20 minutes. The insects are grown at NIH and do not carry any diseases. The skin will be checked and bites will be treated. Skin samples taken. The skin will be cleaned and numbed. A tool will remove a small piece of skin from 3 places on the arm. About a week after the last visit, participants will be called to see how they feel.
Randomized, observer-blinded, multicenter, dose-escalation Phase 1 clinical study investigating three dose levels of VLA1553 after a single immunization. 120 study participants will be enrolled into the study to receive three different doses (30 subjects in the low and medium and 60 subjects in the high dose group). Vaccination will be given intramuscularly on Day 0. As safety precaution, the study will begin with enrolment of 20 sentinel subjects in an open-label fashion. Thereafter, subjects will be enrolled in a blinded, randomized manner in the three study arms. A re-vaccination will be given at Month 6 or Month 12 to confirm that a single vaccination will be sufficient to induce high titer neutralizing antibodies and protect subjects from CHIKV viremia. Study participants will be followed up until 13 months after initial vaccination.
The clinical study primarily assesses the safety of MV-CHIK a new Chikungunya vaccine in a previously epidemic area in healthy volunteers. Secondarily, immune response and viremia will be assessed. MV-CHIK will be compared to the commercially available MMR vaccine. 80% of the subjects will receive MV-CHIK; 20% will receive MMR vaccine.
