  • Mapping pathogen genomics training provision

    Open AccessAlice Matimba, Kirsty Lee Garson et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Background: Pathogen genomics plays a central role in infectious disease surveillance and outbreak response. However, information about available training initiatives remains fragmented, limiting visibility into how programmes are structured, delivered, and assessed. Methods: We conducted a structured survey to characterise pathogen genomics training initiatives identified through the PHA4GE Training and Workforce Development Working Group and af…

  • Cholera in Kenya

    Open AccessKevin Wamae, John Magudha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Cholera remains a major public health challenge in Kenya, driven by environmental pollution, poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, weak monitoring systems, and climate effects. While there have been improvements in studying the disease, testing, monitoring, and environmental checks, the spread continues, especially in informal settlements, rural areas, and refugee camps. This review looked at 106 peer-reviewed studies published b…

  • A consensus statement on dual purpose pathogen surveillance systems

    Open AccessHelene‐Mari van der Westhuizen, S Soundararajan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic progressed pathogen surveillance, from improved wastewater surveillance expertise and infrastructure, increased genomic sequencing capacity, to better integration between large datasets that informed policy decisions. Yet current systems are inadequate for a future facing frequent pandemics threats [1]. There is inequitable access to pathogen surveillance globally, with existing infrastructure favouring high-income countries…

  • The global burden of Chikungunya fever among children

    Open AccessDoris K Nyamwaya, Samuel M Thumbi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is an arboviral illness that was first described in Tanzania (1952). In adults, the disease is characterised by debilitating arthralgia and arthritis that can persist for months, with severe illness including neurological complications observed in the elderly. However, the burden, distribution and clinical features of CHIKF in children are poorly described. We conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to…

  • Modelling cost-effectiveness of tenofovir for prevention of mother to child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in South Africa

    Open AccessJolynne Mokaya, Edward Burn et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Given the long-term health burden for individuals and economic burden for society associated with chronic HBV infection, screening pregnant women and providing tenofovir for all who test HBsAg+ may be a cost-effective strategy for South Africa and other low/middle income settings
