Anna Lena Lopez's research has made significant contributions to understanding and addressing infectious diseases in Southeast Asia. The studies focus on immunization strategies, vaccine efficacy, and disease burden in countries with limited healthcare resources. Research on dengue virus vaccines, rotavirus vaccination, and meningococcal disease sheds light on the safety and effectiveness of various interventions. The analysis of Japanese encephalitis vaccination costs highlights the importance of cost-effective delivery strategies. Additionally, evaluations of point-of-care tests, urine-based diagnostic tools, and molecular microbiology methods have improved disease diagnosis in resource-limited settings. These findings have important implications for public health policy and vaccine introduction in the Philippines.
