Condition: Arbovirus Infections · Respiratory Infection Virus · Sponsor: Fiji National University
Background: Fiji, an archipelago in the South Pacific comprising 332 islands distributed among 4 health administrative divisions (Central, Western, Eastern, Northern), is particularly vulnerable to the (re-)emergence of arboviruses and respiratory viruses due to its sub-tropical climate, the presence of several mosquito vector species, and connections with many countries in the Pacific, Asia and North America. Over the past decades, the epidemiological landscape of arboviruses has shifted from the sequential circulation of each of the four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes to the emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV), concomitantly to the concurrent circulation of multiple DENV serotypes. The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2020 significantly challenged Fiji's healthcare system, with the Delta variant alone accounting for approximately 700 deaths, while other respiratory viruses, such as influenza A and B, cause seasonal outbreaks. Despite these threats, comprehensive and up-to-date seroprevalence data remain scarce, limiting the capacity to inform and adapt public health policies. Methods: The cohort study of Arbovirus and other Emerging Virus Infections in Fiji (AEVI-Fiji cohort study) aims to estimate the prevalence of several arboviruses and respiratory viruses, track the evolution of individual immunity, and analyse transmission dynamics of these viruses within the Fijian population. This longitudinal study…
