“…Finally, these losses would also affect the taxes collected, with 50% of the tax reduction occurring in state and county tax categories. Besides the impact on tourism, it is important to remember that CHIKV can also induce additional costs on health facilities (Shang et al, 2021) and increase absenteeism (Puro et al, 2006), which would be in addition to the costs estimated here. Further research should be done in these areas.…”

“…There is a vast literature on the economic impacts of public health crises, the effects of which can vary widely depending on the disease, geography, income levels, and public health response, but are almost always negative. One of the primary effects of a public health crisis is job reduction associated with absenteeism (Puro et al, 2006). Another aspect contributing to economic losses at the household and business levels is the increase in direct medical expenditures related to the need to care for the disease, which also places pressure on health and emergency systems to adequately respond, often with limited resources.…”

Using the 2016 Zika outbreak to estimate the potential tourism impacts of a Chikungunya event in Florida

et al. 2023

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne illness, is increasing in prevalence worldwide, and experts have warned of the imminence of an outbreak in the Southern Gulf Region of the United States (U.S.). Tourist destinations such as Miami and Orlando in Florida are among the most likely places for an outbreak to occur. The decline in attractiveness of a destination due to the outbreak, combined with the restrictive measures implemented to combat the outbreak, have the potential to significantly impact tourism-dependent local economies. This study is unique in that it estimates the potential economic impacts on tourism of an unprecedented outbreak, in this case CHIKV events in the U.S. For this, declines in tourism that followed the 2016 Zika virus outbreak in the Wynwood area of Miami, Florida are assessed to provide insights on the potential size and scope of the shock on tourism resulting from a CHIKV event. Results suggest that a CHIKV outbreak can lead to losses of approximately US$ 30 million in sales and nearly 250 jobs in the Wynwood area alone. Other popular tourist destinations such as Orlando could suffer significant losses of more than 2,500 jobs and US$ 300 million in sales. Estimating the potential losses associated with tourism declines resulting from a CHIKV outbreak provides data and insights to decision-makers that are considering policy measures aimed at preventing, preparing for, or mitigating the impacts of such events. This is particularly relevant as new advances are being made in the development of a CHIKV vaccine.

“…respiratory disease occurring in small groups of individuals such as a family or classroom are an unusual event outside of chronic care facilities and generally represent an event of public health importance [13]. Pneumonia related to seasonal influenza, pneumococci, haemophilus influenza infections and other commonly recognized pathogens typically does not occur in multiple members of the same family, classroom or work place in a short period of time.…”

The detection of a novel coronavirus in patients from the Arabian Peninsula in late 2012 raised serious concerns of a possible international outbreak. Ministries of health of the three affected countries invited missions from the World Health Organization to participate in a review of data and capacity to detect and respond to further cases. Recommendations were made for investigations to answer critical questions about human-tohuman transmission and the geographic extent of the virus. Additional recommendations were made to improve surveillance capacity by acquiring the capacity to test for the virus and enhance syndromic surveillance. Available evidence continues to suggest an unknown animal reservoir for the virus with sporadic zoonotic transmission as the primary epidemiological pattern of transmission. Human-to-human transmission, while it can occur, does not appear to be sustained in the community. Riposte rapide au nouveau coronavirus au Moyen-Orient RÉSUMÉ La détection d'un nouveau coronavirus chez des patients de la Péninsule arabique à la fin de l'année 2012 a soulevé de graves inquiétudes concernant une possible flambée internationale. Les ministères de la Santé des trois pays affectés ont invité des missions de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé à participer à une revue des données et à un examen des capacités pour dépister les cas à venir et y riposter. Des recommandations ont été formulées pour les recherches visant à répondre aux questions critiques sur la transmission interhumaine et la propagation géographique du virus. Des recommandations supplémentaires ont été effectuées afin d'améliorer les capacités de surveillance en développant la capacité de détection du virus et en renforçant la surveillance syndromique. Les données dont nous disposons semblent toujours indiquer un réservoir animal viral inconnu avec un mode de transmission zoonotique sporadique comme principal modèle épidémiologique de transmission. La transmission interhumaine, si elle est possible, ne semble pas soutenue au sein de la communauté. ‫األوسط‬ ‫الرشق‬ ‫يف‬ ‫جديد‬ ‫تاجي‬ ‫لفريوس‬ ‫الباكرة‬ ‫املواجهة‬
