View Award Description

VI Department of Health Epidemiology Lab Program. - The US Virgin Islands (USVI) are located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, consisting of four major islands: Saint Croix (STX), Saint Thomas (STT), Saint John (STJ), and Water Island (WI). According to the 2010 US Census Bureau data, the population of the USVI consisted of 106,405 persons with a racial/ethnic distribution including Black/African American 76%, White 15.6%, Asian 1.4%. A total of 17.5% of persons identify themselves Hispanic. Approximately 1/3 of the population is foreign-born with varying familial and cultural ties elsewhere, primarily in the Caribbean. The island with highest population density is STT (1,612 residents/sqm), followed by STX (602 residents/sqm), STJ (209 residents/sqm), and WI (237 residents/sqm). The median age in 2010 was 39.2 years, roughly 48% of the USVI population were male. USVI has suffered significant financial, infectious disease and environmental crises in the last 5 years. The first of which occurred in 2014 as a result of Chikungunya, which infected approximately 31% of the population. This outbreak was immediately followed by a Zika outbreak, in 2016, resulting in high infection rates, fetal loss and birth defects. In 2017, the Territory was faced with a financial crisis when the Territory’s bonds were downgraded to junk status. The government debt, when analyzed as a per capita basis, is staggering and about a third higher than Puerto Rico, which is also suffering nearly identical challenges. This has resulted in the inability for the Territory to borrow and adequately support basic government functions. In 2017, these dire circumstances were further compounded by two Category 5 hurricanes that resulted in catastrophic damage to Government infrastructure. Including the complete loss of the DOH building on St Croix. Post-hurricane, the first cases of leptospirosis and melioidosis were detected in the USVI (leptospirosis incidence rate = 4 per 100,000; melioidosis incidence rate = 3 per 100,000 with 33% mortality rate). A leptospirosis serosurvey performed in March 2019 will provide a better picture of prevalence in the USVI. For MMWR year 2018, based on locally-generated reports, the highest disease burden was antibiotic resistant MRSA (incidence rate = 133 per 100,000), followed by seasonal influenza (incidence rate = 65 per 100,000), and sexually transmitted diseases (chlamydia incidence rate = 20 per 100,00; gonorrhea incidence rate = 5 per 100,000; HIV incidence rate = 13 per 100,000). Finally, there were eight confirmed cases of salmonellosis and one shigellosis. It is important to note that the vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) program is one of the most impacted by underreporting. Although several cases were investigated and deemed not a case (including one suspect AFM case), only one confirmed varicella case was reported in 2018. Two Hepatitis A cases were reported, however, it was not possible to obtain convalescent samples for the cases that were originally ordered as IgG by the provider. These data are preliminary, as we continue to improve data collection and completeness. Other programs such as food and waterborne diseases have been largely neglected in the past. The USVI are still experiencing territory-wide disruptions following Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which directly impacted the territory in September 2017. The VI Department of Health (VIDOH) maintained infectious disease surveillance during the response and recovery period, however, the USVI disease surveillance system continues to face the challenge of timely case reporting and notification to the VIDOH. Continuation work plans include efforts for outreach and additional reporting stakeholder training to increase reporting, data quality and completeness, engagement, and information flow. Additional surveillance challenges include not having a Vital Statistics Registry or Immunization Information System (IIS) in place. The Vital Statistics Division is in the process of establishing the registry
