Mining corridors as emergence interfaces
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining has rapidly reshaped southeastern Senegal's Kédougou region from a sparsely populated savanna-forest landscape into a highly connected frontier marked by land-use change, intense population mobility, and fragile basic services. Over the past decade, this corridor has recorded clustered outbreaks and warning signals involving mosquito-borne, tick-borne, and water-associated infections, including sylvatic dengu…
Prevalence and associated factors of human haemorrhagic fevers in Senegal
Introduction: Viral haemorrhagic fevers such as Rift Valley fever, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, and hantavirus disease continue to threaten public health in Africa. This study assessed the seroprevalence and associated factors of these infections in Senegal. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 2022 to June 2024 among asymptomatic individuals living in close contact with livestock in two regions: Matam, a transbound…
Situational analysis of the quality of maternal, child, and adolescent health data in the health districts of Thiès, Mbour, Kédougou, and Saraya in Senegal
Assessment of data quality in the districts studied shows shortcomings in terms of completeness and timeliness. Many factors influence the SMEA data quality situation, including knowledge or application of RHIS policies, standards, and protocols, perception of the importance of RHIS, ease of use of data collection tools, training of providers, and diversity of data production sources
Non-pharmaceutical interventions and Covid-19 vaccination strategies in Senegal
BACKGROUND: When vaccines against the novel COVID-19 were available in Senegal, many questions were raised. How long should non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) be maintained during vaccination roll-out? What are the best vaccination strategies? METHODS: In this study, we used an age-structured dynamic mathematical model. This model uses parameters based on SARS-CoV-2 virus, information on different types of NPIs, epidemiological and demograph…
Re-Emergence of Dengue Serotype 3 in the Context of a Large Religious Gathering Event in Touba, Senegal
Dengue virus (DENV) was detected in Senegal in 1979 for the first time. Since 2017, unprecedented frequent outbreaks of DENV were noticed yearly. In this context, epidemiological and molecular evolution data are paramount to decipher the virus diffusion route. In the current study, we focused on a dengue outbreak which occurred in Senegal in 2018 in the context of a large religious gathering with 263 confirmed DENV cases out of 832 collected samp…
