1 Confronting infectious diseases and the role of vaccination: A global perspective KATE ANTEYI. MD, MPH, MBA Technical Advisor, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Chair, WONCA Working Party on Women & Family Medicine(WWPWFM):

2 Confronting Infectious Diseases

3 The Framework Setting the stage: Global data Factors in emergence of infectious diseases Fight scene: strategic issues Cool action sequence: Role of vaccines Conclusion: What must family doctors do to tackle EID.

4 Setting the stage

5 Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDS) Pathogenic microorganisms: bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. These bugs do kill! Don t mess with them! Pandemic potential: a threat to global health security. Most new outbreaks come from animals: Zoonoses

6 Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Last 40 years: Ebola and Marburg hemorrhagic fevers: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS): 2009 Influenza A (H5N1) Verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV): Zika virus: 2017

7 Smith, K. F. et al. J. R. Soc. Interface 2014;11 Global trends More outbreaks More nonvectorborne Increasing Zoonoses

8 Global Prevalence of HIV: 2017

9 Global TB Incidence rates: 2016

10 8 out of 13 Countries with Triple TB Threat in sub-sahara Africa (SSA)

11 TB is the Top Infectious Disease Killer in the World! IN 2017 WHO: Global tuberculosis report 2018

12 The changing epidemiology of malaria WHO, 2017

13 SARS Epidemic Pathways Near pandemic in 2003 Rapid spread from China to 37 countries Within weeks High Fatality rate: 9.6% WHO 2004

14 Pandemic Influenza H1N1 As a respiratory virus, spreads rapidly Rapidly mutates every year Notorious & kills people

15 Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa

16 Zika virus disease outbreaks

17 Trends in Infectious Disease Mortality, South Korea, Choe Y et al. Trends in Infectious Disease Mortality, South Korea,

18 Groups of drivers of IDTE Determinants and Drivers of Infectious Disease Public health systems Globalization Environment Threat Events(IDTE) European CDC, 2017 Sociodemo graphic Climate Global trade Travel and tourism Top 5 individual drivers of IDTE Food and water quality Natural environment

19 Fitch, P.J Ecosystem & Infectious Diseases Highly interconnected network of hosts and environments. New approaches needed

20 Watch out! The next deadly infectious disease is somewhere out there! Lassa Nipah 2015 WHO top 8 list of diseases likely to cause severe epidemics 1. Ebola 2. Marburg 3. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever 4. Lassa fever 5. MERS 6. SARS 7. Nipah 8. Rift Valley fever

21 Strategic Confrontation of EID

22 Engineering a Global Response to Infectious Diseases Traditional medical systems not enough! Go beyond to public health approaches Integrate frameworks

23 Mitigating EID: Scaling Coordination & Collaboration One-health approach Technologies Trust and global collaborations Political & financial commitment

24 Risk communication Research Partnership Anticipating Epidemics Alert Health Systems Strengthening

25 Networks for Global Infectious Diseases Surveillance WHO-2003

26 Role of Vaccines in infectious diseases prevention

27 Our World in Data Vaccination Innovations

28 National programs and systems

29 Progress and Challenges with achieving Universal Immunization Coverage

30 Coverage of BCG Vaccination 2016

31 Vaccination and Trust A 67-Country study in 2016 shows Positive vaccine safety confidence. Agreement that vaccines are important. Education increases confidence in vaccine Larson, Heidi J. et al 2016 What should we do? Population Resilience Coordination Strengthen systems Relationship

32 Health & Economic Impact of vaccines Vaccines will prevent 36 million deaths by 2030

33 The Future Vaccines: What is coming? Recombinant vaccines Viral vector-based vaccines DNA vaccines Reverse vaccinology Improved vaccine delivery methods Immunological markers and correlates of vaccine-induced protection Evaluation of immunogenicity and efficacy of candidate vaccine adjuvants

34 Some pipeline vaccines where are we going? TB: 15 vaccines candidates in clinical trials HIV: 2 large Phase IIb efficacy trials Malaria: Malaria Vaccine candidates in clinical trials Ebola: Clinical trials of experimental vaccines candidates Vaccines for Tuberculosis, HIV or Malaria Unlikely To Reach the Market soon Researchers estimate it would cost $16.3 billion to move current vaccine

35 The Role of Family Doctors in Confronting EID Leadership Surveillance
