“…Within Spain, 7 of the 12 studies with prevalence estimates of Chagas disease in migrants were similar to the highest countrywide estimate (Del Pino and Coll, 2006; Giménez-Martí et al, 2006; Munoz-Vilches et al, 2012; Paricio-Talayero et al, 2008; Roca et al, 2011; Santiago et al, 2012; Soriano Arandes et al, 2009), two were lower(Piron et al, 2008; Ramos et al, 2012a), and three(Avila Arzanegui et al, 2013; Barona-Vilar et al, 2012; Lucas and Barba, 2009) were higher (Figure 2). One additional study was conducted in Spain, but its results are not summarized here because it was a non-representative sample of only Bolivian and Paraguayan participants (Ramos et al, 2012b).…”

A global systematic review of Chagas disease prevalence among migrants

Human migration has been identified as a potential factor for increased Chagas disease risk and has transformed the disease from a Latin American problem to a global one. We conducted a systematic review of the scientific literature between 2004–2014 in order to: summarize current seroprevalence estimates of Chagas disease among Latin American migrants, in both endemic and non-endemic settings; compare seroprevalence estimates in migrants to countrywide prevalence estimates; and identify risk factors for Chagas disease among migrants. A total of 320 studies were screened and 23 studies were included. We found evidence that the prevalence of Chagas disease is higher than expected in some migrant groups and that reliance on blood donor screening prevalence underestimates the burden of disease. Overall there is a dearth of high quality epidemiologic studies on the prevalence of Chagas in migrants, especially among intra-regional migrants within Latin America. Given that the disease cannot likely be eradicated, improved surveillance and reporting is vital to continuing control efforts. More accurate health surveillance of both Latin American migrants and the Chagas disease burden will help countries appropriately scale up their response to this chronic disease. Overall, improved estimates of Chagas disease among migrants would likely serve to highlight the real need for better screening, diagnostics, and treatment of individuals living with the disease.

RESUMENFundamentos: Los flujos migratorios tienen la capacidad de dispersar agentes infecciosos y alterar las epidemiologías locales. El objetivo del estudio es describir las características socio-epidemiológicas, clínicas y de microbiología/epidemiología molecular de la infección VIH/Sida en la población inmigrada.. Métodos:Revisión de la literatura científica mediante la metodología de Scoping Review. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos Medline y MEDES. Se seleccionaron artículos originales realizados en España y publicados entre 1998-2012, en los que participara población procedente de América Latina, África subsahariana, Norte de África, Asia y Europa del Este.Resultados: Se seleccionaron 41 artículos. La población más estudiada fue la de América Latina (48,8%). Se observaron prevalencias mayores de VIH que en autóctonos en los hombres que tienen sexo con hombresde América Latina (18,1%), travestis y transexuales trabajadores del sexo de América Latina (23,3%), mujeres gestantes (0,9%) y hombres y mujeres de África Subsahariana (9,1% y 7,5%). Las conductas de riesgo fueron diferentes en función del país de origen y del sexo. El retraso diagnóstico llegó al 43% de las infecciones VIH, hallándose mayor prevalencia en inmigrantes de África subsahariana, que mostraron retraso diagnóstico en el 41% y resistencias al tratamiento anti-retroviral en el 13%. Las mujeres inmigrantes presentaron más pérdidas de seguimiento, peor respuesta inmunológica al TARV y menor tiempo de fracaso terapéutico.Conclusiones: La mayor prevalencia de VIH la presentan los sujetos procedentes de África subsahariana y los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres y travestis y transexuales trabajadores del sexo de América Latina. También las mujeres gestantes. El retraso diagnóstico y las resistencias al tratamiento son más frecuentes en sujetos de África Subsahariana. Las mujeres inmigrantes respondieron peor al tratamiento antiretroviral. Background: Migration flows have the ability to disperse infectious agents and alter local epidemiologies. The aim of the study is to describe the socio-epidemiological, clinical and microbiology / molecular epidemiology of HIV / AIDS infection in the immigrant population.

Humans are infected by Toxoplasma gondii worldwide and its consequences may seriously affect an immune deprived population such as HIV and transplanted patients or pregnant women and foetuses. A deep knowledge of toxoplasmosis seroprevalence in Spain is needed in order to better shape health policies and educational programs. We present the results of the first systematic review and meta-analysis on the human prevalence for this disease in Spain. Databases (PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS and Teseo) were searched for relevant studies that were published between January 1993 and December 2023 and all population-based cross-sectional and longitudinal studies reporting the human seroprevalence in Spain were revised. Within the population analysed, our targeted groups were immunocompetent population, pregnant women and immunocompromised patients. Among 572 studies and 35 doctoral theses retrieved, 15 studies and three doctoral theses were included in the meta-analysis. A random effects model was used for the meta-analyses due to the high heterogeneity found between studies (I2: 99.97), since it is a statistically conservative model, in addition to allowing better external validity. The global pooled seroprevalence was 32.3% (95% CI 28.7–36.2%). Most of the studies carried out were in pregnant women and the meta-analysis reported that the pooled seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women in Spain was 24.4% (24,737/85,703, 95% CI 21.2–28.0%), based on the random effects model. It is recommended to continue monitoring the seroprevalence status of T. gondii in order to obtain essential guidelines for the prevention and control of the infection in the population.
