Molecular and seroepidemiology of Sars-CoV-2 among influenza-like illness and severe Acute respiratory illness cases in selected health facilities in Ethiopia
Background SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) between May 2023 …
The Africa Centres for Disease Control public health emergency management fellowship
Public health emergencies remain a significant challenge across the African continent, driven largely by the high burden of infectious diseases and constraints in the public health workforce. The Africa Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has taken a strategic move towards addressing emergency preparedness and response workforce gap with the implementation of the Public Health Emergency Essone Management (PHEM) Fellowship aimed…
Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of influenza and Sars-CoV-2 virus among patients with acute febrile illness in selected sites of Ethiopia 2021–2022
Background: Viral respiratory pathogens have become the leading cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AFI). We determined the fraction of AFI attributable to influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in Ethiopia, along with an understanding of their epidemiological characteristics. Methods: From February 2021 to June 2022, we enrolled patients meeting an AFI case definition (age >5 years with fever ≥38°C) who presented at one of four selected sentinel …
Regional and temporal variations in Covid-19 cases and deaths in Ethiopia
Background The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating public health emergencies of international concern to have occurred in the past century. To ensure a safe, scalable, and sustainable response, it is imperative to understand the burden of disease, epidemiological trends, and responses to activities that have already been implemented. We aimed to analyze how COVID-19 tests, cases, and deaths varied by time and region in the general po…
Sars-CoV-2 co-detection with influenza and human respiratory syncytial virus in Ethiopia
SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with the influenza virus or human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may complicate its progress and clinical outcomes. However, data on the co-detection of SARS-CoV-2 with other respiratory viruses are limited in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa to inform evidence-based response and decision-making. We analyzed 4,989 patients’ data captured from the national severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) and influenza-like illn…
