Surveillance of public health pathogens in Lagos wastewater canals
This study highlights the presence of pathogens with potential to cause epidemic in wastewater canals in Lagos State and provides evidence to inform policy and strategies for wastewater monitoring and treatment. Further studies involving longitudinal monitoring of time-based variations is needed to identify trends in pathogen loads and AMR patterns over time
Challenges in conducting population-based seroepidemiology survey of Covid-19 in Lagos State, Nigeria
Population-based study is known to be a very essential type of study during and after a pandemic or epidemic, as it provides crucial information on the incidence, prevalence, and risk factors of the disease in question. There has been limited information about the challenges faced in conducting such surveys in Nigeria. In this paper, we will share our experience, and describe the challenges faced in conducting a population-based seroepidemiologic…
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in four states of Nigeria in October 2020
The observed epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in sub-Saharan Africa has varied greatly from that in Europe and the United States, with much lower reported incidence. Population-based studies are needed to estimate true cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 to inform public health interventions. This study estimated SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in four selected states in Nigeria in October 2020. We implemented a two-stage cluster sample household survey in fo…
Epidemiological comparison of the first and second waves of the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria, February 2020–April 2021
BACKGROUND: With reports of surges in COVID-19 case numbers across over 50 countries, country-level epidemiological analysis is required to inform context-appropriate response strategies for containment and mitigation of the outbreak. We aimed to compare the epidemiological features of the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Nigeria. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the Surveillance Outbreak Response Management and Analysis Sys…
Evaluation of the Nigerian national antiretroviral (ARV) treatment training programme
There is an understanding that greater availability of HIV treatment for the 40.3 million people currently infected with HIV is a humanitarian imperative that could prolong the lives of millions, restore economic productivity, and stabilise societies in some of the world's hardest-hit regions. The Nigerian government recognises that the country has the third highest burden of infection, with people living with HIV estimated to total 4.0 million, …
