However, community discussants could not mention the name of a disease that can be transmitted by <i>Aedes</i> mosquito though <i>they</i> mentioned that Aedes mosquito bites both humans and animals during the day time in forest areas and causes skin itching to humans. Meanwhile, community participants from Pakag, a village bordering South Sudan, expressed concern that <i>Aedes</i> mosquito can cause a malaria-like disease which can kill within a few days. Health workers from Itang health center described that in 2016, an outbreak of an unknown disease that causes fever and jaundice occurred and killed seven individuals in a village called Akula, which is closer to a South Sudan refugee camp.

Here we want to present our data on endemic infectious diseases and alarming threat of multiple co-infections which is the cause of serious public health concern in Pakistan. In Pakistan as of 13 October 2020, the toll of confirmed COVID-19 cases reached 319,848 including 6,588 deaths after its first confirmation on 26 February 2020[1]. The total population of Pakistan is more than 221.5 million people, making it the fifth largest populous country in the world. According to the 2017 census, there is a 57% increase in population during the last 19 years and around 30–40% of the population lived below the poverty line[2]. Due to overcrowded population, poverty and poor healthcare infrastructure, many infectious diseases are common in Pakistan, such as dengue, tuberculosis, (TB) malaria, measles, typhoid, hepatitis and influenza. The endemicity of these infectious diseases has been sustained in Pakistan for decades. The official number of laboratory confirmed dengue cases reported in Pakistan from 1982 to 2019 are 141547 including 844 deaths. Last year 47,120 dengue cases including 75 deaths compared to 3204 dengue cases including 2 deaths were reported in 2018 [3]. For Tuberculosis (TB), the numbers of cases are increasing and around 27,000 new cases are reported every year. According to the national TB control program data the incidence rate is 5, 25,000 per year; however, there are 3,68,589 TB patients are under treatment and 56,000, TB-related deaths occurred every year in Pakistan [4]. Malaria is another leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Pakistan. Pakistan is amongst the seven countries of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region sharing 98% of the total regional malaria burden and an estimated 177 million population is at high risk of malaria. It is estimated that there are 1 million suspected and 300,000 confirmed malaria cases are reported each year from Pakistan [5]. Around 50,000 deaths due to Malaria occurred every year in the country [6]. Despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine, measles remains one of the leading causes of death among children in Pakistan. More than 8,345 measles cases were reported by the laboratory surveillance system in 2019 and 34,000 measles cases were reported during 2018 [7]. Measles accounts for around 20,000 deaths of Pakistani children each year [8]. For typhoid, there are 22,571 total cases reported during 2016–2020 and situation becomes worrisome when 16000 (70%) out of 22,571 cases were identified as extensively drugresistance (XDR) typhoid [9]. Pakistan is among one of the first countries in the world to introduce the typhoid conjugate vaccine in 2019 in the expanded program on immunization (EPI) schedule [10].
