New approaches to prevention\, such as vaccines and Wolbachia-bas ed vector control\, have been shown to be efficacious in trials. However\ , translating these interventions into a public health success will depen d on their implementation at scale and ability to address potential threa ts to their real-world effectiveness. This talk will examine recent advan ces and challenges while implementing these interventions in Brazil and w ill argue that control of dengue and arboviral diseases hinges not on a s ingle solution\, but on the use of multilevel interventions that bridge s cience\, policy and community engagement.

In addition to HIV\, PWUD commonly face hepatitis C (HCV) infectio ns\, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI)\, sexually transmitted infect ions (STIs)\, infective endocarditis (IE)\, and both fatal and non-fatal overdoses. Over the past decade\, syphilis rates among drug users have su rged\, increasing the risk of HIV transmission through sexual contact. Th is situation has created a major public health crisis that threatens the success of the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative in the U.S. Tac kling HIV among PWUD requires a comprehensive strategy\, because no singl e approach is enough. We need an integrated set of methods to address out breaks at various stages. Our work is focused on developing and evaluatin g new tools for predicting\, detecting\, and diagnosing outbreaks more ef fectively. Our goals are to: Predict : Enhance existing models and create new ones for early and accurate prediction of high-risk areas for potent ial outbreaks. Detect : Develop novel algorithms to quickly identify new outbreaks as they begin. Diagnose : Optimize community-based strategies t o find and diagnose undiagnosed cases in a timely manner. Our goal is to provide health departments with innovative tools to manage infectious dis ease outbreaks. While our current applied focus is on HIV and drug use\, these tools can be applied to other diseases and demographic groups as we ll. We hope this research can improve our ability to pinpoint high-risk a reas\, detect outbreaks quickly\, and efficiently find patients needing c are\, ultimately aiding public health officials in managing these serious health challenges.

Thes e arthropod-borne (arbo)viruses present a continued threat to human healt h worldwide with therapeutics and vaccines remaining limited. Mosquitoes become infected with these viruses through the acquisition of an infectio us blood meal. Once ingested\, viruses must initiate infection of the mos quito midgut before spreading to secondary tissues such as salivary gland s which facilitate transmission. The mechanisms mediating infection\, dis semination and transmission remain poorly understood. Our laboratory has been working to address these unknown processes in hopes of identifying h ost factors that could be exploited for the development of the next gener ation of vector control strategies.

In this t alk\, I will discuss recent work from CIDMA that illustrates how quantita tive modeling can provide timely evidence for national policy deliberatio ns. We evaluated the “One Big Beautiful Bill” which introduced Medicaid w ork requirements and coverage reductions\, by projecting state-level mort ality and morbidity to quantify the health burden of coverage loss. Beyon d coverage loss\, we also investigated the health impact of expanding acc ess to novel GLP-1 medications\, results that were later cited in congres sional hearings. Building on this work\, we conducted a broader analysis of pharmaceutical pricing\, comparing U.S. expenditures with those of fiv e other high-income countries to quantify potential national savings unde r international reference pricing. Together\, our research highlights how modeling can provide timely\, policy-relevant evidence at the intersecti on of health and economics.

Most infants with severe dis ease were healthy term infants until infected with RSV. Each year\, RSV a ccounts for an estimated 33 million cases\, over 3 million hospitalizatio ns\, and more than 100\,000 deaths in children under five—predominantly i n low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Following decades of research \, effective preventive tools have only recently become available\, marki ng a turning point in RSV control. This lecture aims to provide an up-to- date overview of the evolving RSV prevention landscape. The scientific br eakthrough leading to the development of RSV immunization was the discove ry that there are 2 conformation of the RSV F protein: the pre-fusion and post-fusion. Two major strategies now available for infant protection wi ll be discussed: long-acting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)\, such as nirse vimab\, and a stabilized preF-based maternal RSV vaccination during pregn ancy. These interventions offer complementary approaches to bridging the vulnerable early months of life when infants are at the highest risk of s evere disease. Recent approval of clesrovimab\, another mAb\, directed ag ainst a different epitope of preF (site IV) will be discussed. The lectur e will explore the clinical efficacy and safety profiles of these tools b ased on data from pivotal trials and recent real-world implementation. By reviewing real-world data from early adopters\, we aim to translate emer ging evidence into actionable insights for clinical practice. We will als o address outstanding questions around seasonality\, cost-effectiveness\, effects on the burden by other pathogens and prioritization\, particular ly in resource-limited settings. This lecture will empower clinicians\, p atients and public health officials to understand and advocate for the mo st effective strategies to reduce the global burden of RSV and protect al l babies in the world.

The protozoan parasite infects humans\, dogs and a wid e range of domestic and wild mammals\, where transmission is driven by tr iatomine (‘kissing bug’) insect vectors that shed the protozoan through t heir feces. A subset of infected individuals develops Chagas disease\, of ten characterized by cardiomyopathy and sometimes fatal outcomes. The bro ad host range of both the triatomines and the parasite creates ecological complexity that challenges effective control. Our research team establis hed the Kissing Bug Community Science program over 10 years ago\, resulti ng in over 10\,000 triatomine submissions across 27 southern U.S. states and 5 countries. More than half of the insects are infected with T . cruz i \, and blood meal analysis reveals dogs as the most common hosts\, foll owed by a diversity of wildlife\, domestic animals and humans. Major chal lenges remain in the surveillance and management of Chagas disease\, incl uding imperfect diagnostics\, limited treatment options\, and widespread\ , highly-infected vectors with few viable control strategies. Our team is advancing diagnostic tools and conducting antiparasitic treatment trials in naturally-infected dogs\, with translational potential for human heal th. We are also piloting the use of systemic insecticides\, demonstrating high mortality of triatomines that feed on treated dogs and chickens\, a s we work toward community-level interventions to reduce vector populatio ns. Ongoing insectary trials of triatomine feeding and defecation behavio rs provide a biological basis for patterns observed in the field. Our col laborative studies across Texas\, Mexico and Guatemala highlight differen t epidemiological and ecological settings that shape Chagas disease risk. The growing recognition of endemic transmission in the United States und erscores the need for a ‘One Health’ approach to protect humans and anima ls throughout the Americas.

Yet\, real-wo rld evidence on the suppressive effectiveness and efficacy of IIT-SIT rem ains limited to small scale studies over short durations. However\, Aedes -borne diseases occur in dense\, urban\, and high-rise locations and sust ain multi-year transmission cycles. To address evidence gaps\, large-scal e trials of IIT-SIT covering >1 million individuals to evaluate the epide miological and entomological efficacy of IIT-SIT were conducted. I will p resent the development\, application\, key difficulties and results of th ese trials over the past decade.

Here\, we aim at clarifying their respective definitions\, philo sophical foundations and methodological positions. This clarification is important because the way we define integrated approaches to health shape s research\, teaching methods and their translation into policy and pract ice. Key methods and case studies are summarized and compared. Among the three integrated approaches\, EcoHealth and Planetary Health operate larg ely in academic networks and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). One H ealth is currently operationalized at the level of international organiza tions\, regional organizations and national governments.
