  • Piloting the feasibility of a population-based joint TB-HIV survey in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, 2019

    Open AccessPelagia Murangandi, Olanrewaju Oladimeji et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    South Africa bears a high burden of infectious diseases, including intersecting epidemics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB). Among people living with HIV, TB is the predominant cause of death. Since 2002, South Africa has conducted six national population-based HIV surveys, and its first national TB prevalence survey between 2017 and 2019. Given the epidemiologic overlap of these conditions and dwindling resources, a joi…

  • Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in Tanzania

    Open AccessSayoki Mfinanga, Sayoki Godfrey Mfinanga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Between August and October 2021, before the Omicron wave and before COVID-19 vaccines became widely available in Tanzania, two studies estimated that half of the population in Zanzibar and Mwanza in Tanzania had SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. From May 2020 to Dec 2021, Tanzania adopted a very different COVID-19 mitigation strategy with no lockdowns or quarantines and limited community-level COVID-19 testing. We conducted population-based SARS-CoV-2 serop…

  • Excess mortality associated with HIV

    Open AccessShannon Farley, Shannon M Farley et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2024References: 21

    BACKGROUND: Incomplete vital statistics systems in resource-limited countries hinder accurate HIV epidemic assessments. Population-based survey data combined with HIV infection biomarkers may partially address this gap, providing excess mortality estimates in households where people living with HIV (PLWH) reside. OBJECTIVE: Examine household-level excess HIV mortality in households with PLWH using population-based survey data, including mortality…

  • Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in four states of Nigeria in October 2020

    Open AccessRosemary Audu, Kristen A Stafford et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    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…

  • The developmental cycle of domestic groups and Amazonian deforestation

    Open AccessE F Moran, Emilio Moran et al.ARTICLEAmbiente & sociedade2004Cited by: 3References: 47

    It has been common to attribute tropical deforestation to population growth and/or migration. This paper finds that this is true only at large and aggregated spatial and temporal scales. When one examines regional-scaled processes, there are numberous mediating factors and more complex demographic processes that account for differences in rates of deforestation. Based upon three years of research in the Altamira region, Xingu Basin, Brazilian Ama…
