Comparison of disease groupings proposed by workshop participants, with highest-prioritised infection threats from the survey. For the categories ‘Resistance’, VHFs, and NTDs, the two highest-prioritised individual infection threats (e.g. Ebola and Lassa fever within VHFs) have been highlighted. ‘Ungrouped responses’ refers to infection threats featured above that have not been subjected to additional grouping (e.g. TB, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 etc.), and represent only the total number of survey responses received for that individual infection threat. Due to the broad and diverse nature of these classifications, there is some overlap between groupings (e.g. Leishmaniasis responses, highlighted within NTDs, are also included in the ‘Other VBDs’ grouping). Dengue, highlighted in the VBD grouping, is not included in the VHF or NTD grouping. Whilst it is acknowledged that ‘severe dengue’ is considered to fall into both latter categories, as no distinction was made by any participants between dengue and severe dengue, it has not been included in the VHF/NTD categories above. MDR = Multidrug-resistant.
