Abstract

Background: Anthrax remains a persistent zoonotic disease in Indonesia, with recurrent outbreaks reported in endemic provinces such as Yogyakarta, Gorontalo, Central Java, and East Nusa Tenggara. Outbreak control is further challenged by the circulation of misinformation, which shapes community perceptions and undermines prevention efforts. Digital epidemiology offers opportunities to complement conventional surveillance by capturing public information-seeking behavior, yet its application in anthrax research in Indonesia remains limited. Methods: This study analyzed temporal and spatial dynamics of public interest in anthrax using Google Trends data from January 2014 to December 2024. Two search terms, antraks (Indonesian) and anthrax (English), were examined to assess monthly patterns, regional distribution, and related search queries. Descriptive analyses were performed to identify peaks of interest, geographic differences, and themes of related and rising queries. Results: Overall search activity was low and stable throughout the 11 years, with distinct peaks corresponding to outbreaks, most notably in July 2023 during the Yogyakarta outbreak. Regional analysis revealed Yogyakarta and Gorontalo as the dominant provinces of search activity. Linguistic patterns showed that antraks was more widely used in western Indonesia, while anthrax was relatively more frequent in eastern provinces. Related queries reflected demand for basic knowledge of symptoms, transmission, and prevention, while rising queries aligned with outbreak-related events. Conclusion: Online search patterns mirror epidemiological risk, cultural context, and digital access. Infodemiology provides timely insights that may enhance outbreak preparedness and risk communication. Integrating digital surveillance with conventional monitoring can support more effective and locally relevant health education strategies for anthrax control in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Hansen’s disease (leprosy) continues to be a public health concern in Indonesia, which ranks among the countries with the highest case numbers globally. Despite national control programs, the detection of new cases and disability rates suggests ongoing transmission and delays in diagnosis. A clearer understanding of prevalence, risk determinants, and management approaches is critical to strengthen interventions. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed using PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies published between 2014 and 2024 were identified from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Eligible publications included original research or program evaluations conducted in Indonesia. From 423 records initially screened, 76 full texts were assessed, and 22 articles met the inclusion criteria. Extracted data included prevalence, associated risk factors, and management strategies. Results: The reviewed studies originated from multiple regions such as Java, Sulawesi, Papua, and Maluku. Study designs comprised cross-sectional surveys, case–control studies, cohort analyses, and program evaluations. Prevalence varied substantially, with Papua, Sulawesi, and Maluku reporting the highest burdens. Commonly reported risk factors were poverty, overcrowded housing, malnutrition, genetic predisposition, and persistent social stigma. Household exposure and treatment delay were additional contributors to transmission. Management strategies mainly emphasized multidrug therapy (MDT) adherence, disability prevention, and stigma reduction. Community education and early case detection programs were associated with improved outcomes. However, several barriers remain, including incomplete adherence, inadequate health worker training, and limited psychosocial support. Conclusion: Hansen’s disease in Indonesia remains endemic in several provinces and is shaped by interconnected socioeconomic and biological factors. While MDT has reduced transmission, substantial gaps exist in disability prevention and stigma management. Enhanced surveillance, improved early detection, and stronger integration of community-based and psychosocial strategies are urgently needed to support national and global elimination goals.
