Chikungunya Outbreak Risks after the 2014 Outbreak, Dominican Republic Open
The 2014 chikungunya outbreak in the Dominican Republic resulted in intense local transmission, with high postoutbreak seroprevalence. The resulting population immunity will likely minimize risk for another large outbreak through 2035, but…

Longitudinal changes in hand hygiene adherence among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dominican Republic Open
Hand hygiene (HH) can reduce transmission of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in healthcare facilities and is especially important in low- and middle-income countries where HH infrastructure may be insufficient and the burden of HAI…

“Emotional stress is more detrimental than the virus itself”: A qualitative study to understand HIV testing and pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among internal migrant men in South Africa Open
Introduction South Africa has one of the highest rates of internal migration on the continent, largely comprised of men seeking labour in urban centres. South African men who move within the country (internal migrants) are at higher risk t…
