PAHO warns of increase in dengue cases in the Caribbean

by newspro
written by newspro

The Pan Amer­i­can Health Or­ga­ni­za­tion (PA­HO) is warn­ing of an up­surge in dengue cas­es in the Amer­i­c­as in­clud­ing Bar­ba­dos and the French is­lands of Mar­tinique and Guade­loupe.

It says as of March 26, this year, over 3.5 mil­lion cas­es and more than 1,000 deaths have been re­port­ed in the re­gion.

“This is cause for con­cern, as it rep­re­sents three times more cas­es than those re­port­ed for the same pe­ri­od in 2023, a record year with more than 4.5 mil­lion cas­es re­port­ed in the re­gion,” said PA­HO Di­rec­tor Jar­bas Bar­bosa.

PA­HO said while dengue is on the rise through­out Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean, the hard­est-hit coun­tries are Brazil, Paraguay and Ar­genti­na, which ac­count for 92 per cent of cas­es and 87 per cent of deaths.

This in­crease is at­trib­uted to the high­er trans­mis­sion sea­son in the south­ern hemi­sphere when the Aedes ae­gyp­ti mos­qui­to vec­tor of dengue thrives due to warm and rainy weath­er.

How­ev­er, Dr Bar­bosa cau­tioned that “we are al­so see­ing an uptick in cas­es in coun­tries such as Bar­ba­dos, Cos­ta Ri­ca, Guade­loupe, Guatemala, Mar­tinique and Mex­i­co, where trans­mis­sion is usu­al­ly high­er in the sec­ond half of the year”.

The PA­HO Di­rec­tor al­so not­ed the pres­ence of the mos­qui­to vec­tor and cas­es in new ge­o­graph­i­cal ar­eas, rais­ing con­cerns that some coun­tries may not be pre­pared to face an in­crease in trans­mis­sion.

Sev­er­al en­vi­ron­men­tal and so­cial fac­tors con­tribute to the spread of dengue, in­clud­ing ris­ing tem­per­a­tures, ex­treme weath­er events, and the El Niño phe­nom­e­non. Rapid pop­u­la­tion growth and un­planned ur­ban­iza­tion al­so play a cru­cial role: poor hous­ing con­di­tions and in­ad­e­quate wa­ter and san­i­ta­tion ser­vices cre­ate mos­qui­to breed­ing sites through dis­card­ed ob­jects that can col­lect wa­ter.

PA­HO main­tains rig­or­ous sur­veil­lance of dengue in the re­gion and has is­sued nine epi­demi­o­log­i­cal alerts in the past 12 months, pro­vid­ing es­sen­tial guid­ance to Mem­ber States on dis­ease pre­ven­tion and con­trol.

The pres­ence of all four dengue serotypes in the re­gion in­creas­es the risk of epi­demics and se­vere forms of the dis­ease. The si­mul­ta­ne­ous cir­cu­la­tion of two or more dengue serotypes has been ob­served in 21 coun­tries and ter­ri­to­ries of the Amer­i­c­as.

Dr Bar­bosa em­pha­sized the im­por­tance of tak­ing prompt ac­tion to pre­vent and con­trol dengue trans­mis­sion and avoid deaths, not­ing that “de­spite the record in­crease in cas­es in 2023, the dengue case fa­tal­i­ty rate in the re­gion re­mained be­low 0.05%.

“This is very en­cour­ag­ing, con­sid­er­ing the spikes in cas­es we have seen since then,” he said.

PA­HO said this ac­com­plish­ment has been pos­si­ble main­ly due to its sup­port to coun­tries since 2010 through a com­pre­hen­sive strat­e­gy to con­trol dengue and oth­er mos­qui­to-borne dis­eases. This strat­e­gy in­cludes strength­en­ing sur­veil­lance, ear­ly di­ag­no­sis, and time­ly treat­ment and has con­tributed sig­nif­i­cant­ly to sav­ing thou­sands of lives.

The PA­HO Di­rec­tor called for ac­tion, urg­ing in­ten­si­fied ef­forts to elim­i­nate mos­qui­to breed­ing sites and pro­tect against mos­qui­to bites, in­crease pre­pared­ness in health ser­vices for ear­ly di­ag­no­sis and time­ly clin­i­cal man­age­ment, and con­tin­u­ous­ly work to ed­u­cate the pop­u­la­tion about dengue symp­toms and when to seek prompt med­ical at­ten­tion.

“Fac­ing the dengue prob­lem is a task for all sec­tors of so­ci­ety,” Dr. Bar­bosa said, call­ing for “com­mu­ni­ty en­gage­ment in or­der to suc­ceed in our ef­forts”.

Agriculture Minister Supports Blue Transformation in Region

by newspro
written by newspro

Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining, Hon. Floyd Green, has reiterated his continued support for the implementation of the Blue Transformation approach in the Region.

Blue Transformation proposes sustainable aquaculture production, effective fisheries management, and improved value chains.

Minister Green, who was speaking on March 19 at the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) four-day regional conference, in Guyana, said priority must be given to diversifying the livelihoods of small-scale fishers and fish farmers.

“It is the only thing that can be done to reduce overfishing and support ecosystem management efforts throughout the region. In Jamaica, we are implementing a fisheries development programme that has two components – the promotion of community-based climate resilience and the modernisation of licensing and registration systems,” the Minister said.

“As such, we are using the technology to develop what we call Irie Fins, a Jamaican fisheries aquaculture information system where our fishers, fish farmers and vessels can register using their mobile devices,” he added.

Mr. Green also highlighted strategies being used in Jamaica to increase yields in aquaculture and encourage diversity among artisanal fishers.

“We are driving the development of our first Aquaculture Agro Park to really drive production across aquaculture. We are looking at our community-based climate resilience models to promote diversification of the income component of our fisheries development programme. We are also helping our small artisanal fisheries to diversify to go into sea moss production, ecotourism and ornamental fish development,” the Minister said.

“Priority must be given to the diversification of the livelihood of small fishers and fish farmers. This is the only thing that can be done to reduce the occurrence of overfishing and to support ecosystem management efforts across the region,” he argued.

This Ministerial Roundtable was focused on the urgent matter of ‘Advancing fisheries and aquaculture towards sustainability under the Blue Transformation approach’.

The hybrid conference is being held within the framework of the 38th FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean from March 18 to 21.

The event is hosting ministers, vice ministers, and authorities from Dominica, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Meanwhile, Minister Green, who also chairs the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission, said the implementation of effective strategies is critical to tackling Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.

“There can be no blue transformation if we don’t tackle IUU fishing, including continuing to strengthen intraregional fisheries management systems at national subregional and intraregional levels,” he said.

To strengthen existing efforts, the Minister also called for the FAO to support the development and improvement of legislation and policies, including those that relate to the control and surveillance to combat IUU fishing.

“It is critical that we develop intraregional systems on traceability. We must cut out the market on illegal fishing, which poses a serious threat to sustainability, safety and national security,” Mr. Green said.

With 85 million people depending on aquatic foods for their livelihoods, these resources are vital to Latin America and the Caribbean’s social, economic, and nutritional well-being.

Blue Transformation is an approach aimed at redefining the region’s relationship with aquatic foods and proposes a vision of sustainable aquaculture production, effective fisheries management, and improved value chains.

The goal is to achieve more equitable, resilient, and sustainable food systems.
