International migration and control of communicable diseases

The adverse health effects of punitive immigrant policies in the United States: A systematic review

“…Resultant delays in medical diagnoses, linkage to treatment services, and continuation of care for communicable diseases pose a substantial individual and public health risk. Consider, for example, the 1980s Los Angeles measles outbreak, which was partly attributed to low vaccination uptake by the children of undocumented individuals [47,48]. At this time, Latinx two-year old children in California were 50% less likely to be up-to-date with measles immunization than their Non-Hispanic White counterparts, while Latinx children in families with a Mexicanborn parent and child were 15 times more likely to underutilize healthcare and 43 times more likely to be unimmunized to measles than Latinx individuals with a US-born parent and child [49,50].…”

Infectious Diseases in Immigrants From the Perspective of a Tropical Medicine Referral Unit

“…This community is very vulnerable since it runs a greater risk of remaining undiagnosed and/or untreated for possible contagious diseases and because a delay in the diagnosis of other infections can result in additional complications. 11,12 Fortunately, this problem has been recently addressed in Spain, since access to the Public Health System was recently granted to all immigrants, regardless of their legal status.…”

Tren COVID-19 dan pembatasan mobilitas penduduk

“…Membatasi mobilitas penduduk merupakan salah satu upaya untuk mengendalikan dan mengontrol penyebaran penyakit menular (Zhou dkk., 2020). Pengalaman masa lampau telah membuktikan bahwa mobilitas penduduk sangat terkait dengan penyebaran penyakit menular (Castelli & Sulis, 2017;Gellert, 1993). Soto (2009) juga mengemukakan bahwa mobilitas penduduk merupakan faktor utama yang memudahkan terjadinya penyebaran mikro organisme yang menyebabkan penyakit infeksi secara internasional, bersama dengan globalisasi perdagangan dan perubahan lingkungan.…”
