Objectives: To explore epidemiological changes of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in a long-time span and evaluate the impact of mass immunisation.
Method: Data on JE cases from hospitals and the county Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Guizhou Province was collected between 2005 and 2021. Epidemiological changes were analyzed according to a series of policy implementations and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
What Works for Controlling Meningitis Outbreaks: A Case Study from China.

Article Synopsis
- The meningococcal meningitis (MM) vaccine helps prevent outbreaks but doesn't stop them completely, even in well-vaccinated communities.
- A study in Tongzi county looked at 266 kids from three junior high schools to see how infections spread and found different infection rates for various types of meningitis vaccines.
- Results showed some schools had low rates of one type of meningitis (MenC) but higher rates of others (MenA and MenB), suggesting that the vaccine may not be very effective for older kids over time.
Background: Although a vaccination campaign has been conducted since 2004, Japanese encephalitis (JE) is still a public health problem in Guizhou, one of the provinces with the highest incidence of JE in China. The aim of this study was to understand the spatiotemporal distribution of JE and its relationship with environmental factors in Guizhou Province in the post-vaccination era, 2004-2016.
Methods: We collected data on human JE cases in Guizhou Province from 2004 to 2016 from the national infectious disease reporting system.

Objective: To obtain an objective index of evaluating the immunization coverage rate of first dose of measles containing vaccine (MCV1)by comparison of the indexes in Guizhou Province.
Methods: Multistage random sampling method was applied to draw subjects from healthy children who had no measles history and aged from 8 months to 6 years of age. The investigated immunization coverage rate (IIR) and the estimated immunization coverage rate (EIR) were evaluated according to the positive rate of measles antibody as a gold standard, and the data of incidence cases as a reference.
