Gaps and opportunities for data systems and economics to support priority setting for climate-sensitive infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa
Open AccessEllie A Delight, Ariel A Brunn et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025
Climate change alters risks associated with climate-sensitive infectious diseases (CSIDs) with pandemic potential. This poses additional threats to already vulnerable populations, further amplified by social factors such as gender inequalities. Currently, critical evidence gaps, along with inadequate institutional and governance mechanisms, hinder African states’ ability to prevent, detect and respond to CSIDs. Effective responses require transpa…

Human–animal contact to inform zoonotic disease risk across gradients of agricultural land use change in the Central River Region (CRR) of The Gambia (ZooContact)
Open AccessAliyu Nuhu Ahmed, Kimberly Fornace et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024
Introduction: Pilot studies are important initial steps in research, providing a preliminary assessment of the practicality, feasibility, and potential challenges of a proposed study. This study attempts to assess the feasibility, practicality, and acceptability of a study that integrates a human-animal contact (HAC) questionnaire, animal biodiversity survey using acoustic analysis, and zoonotic disease investigation in animals among rural househ…
Coping strategies for household water insecurity in rural Gambia, mediating factors in the relationship between weather, water and health
Open AccessIndira Bose, Robert Dreibelbis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
To reduce the risks to health, interventions need to address the drivers of water insecurity to reduce the need for these risky coping behaviours. In the short term, the promotion of behavioural adaptations that can help buffer health risks, such as water treatment, may be beneficial

Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the coverage and timeliness of routine childhood vaccinations in the Gambia, 2015–2021
Open AccessOghenebrume Wariri, C Edson Utazi et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread morbidity and mortality and resulted in the biggest setback in routine vaccinations in three decades. Data on the impact of the pandemic on immunisation in Africa are limited, in part, due to low-quality routine or administrative data. This study examined coverage and timeliness of routine childhood immunisation during the pandemic in The Gambia, a country with an immunisation system considere…

Grassroots and Youth-Led Climate Solutions From The Gambia
Open AccessAna Bonell, Jainaba Badjie et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022
Climate change and environmental degradation are among the greatest threats to human health. Youth campaigners have very effectively focused global attention on the crisis, however children from the Global South are often under-represented (sometimes deliberately) in the dialogue. In The Gambia, West Africa, the impacts of climate change are already being directly experienced by the population, and this will worsen in coming years. There is stron…
The impact of social and environmental extremes on cholera time varying reproduction number in Nigeria
Open AccessGina E C Charnley, Sebastian Yennan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022
Nigeria currently reports the second highest number of cholera cases in Africa, with numerous socioeconomic and environmental risk factors. Less investigated are the role of extreme events, despite recent work showing their potential importance. To address this gap, we used a machine learning approach to understand the risks and thresholds for cholera outbreaks and extreme events, taking into consideration pre-existing vulnerabilities. We estimat…
Tracking the impacts of climate change on human health via indicators
Open AccessClaudia Di Napoli, Alice McGushin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
Our experience shows that CCIEVIs can effectively contribute to a world-wide monitoring system that aims to track, communicate, and harness evidence on climate-induced health impacts towards effective intervention strategies. An ongoing challenge is how to improve CCIEVIs so that the description of the linkages between climate change and human health can become more and more comprehensive

Global hotspots and correlates of emerging zoonotic diseases
Open AccessToph Allen, Keith A Murray et al.ARTICLENature Communications2017
Zoonoses originating from wildlife represent a significant threat to global health, security and economic growth, and combatting their emergence is a public health priority. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying their emergence remains rudimentary. Here we update a global database of emerging infectious disease (EID) events, create a novel measure of reporting effort, and fit boosted regression tree models to analyze the demogra…
