A framework for managing infectious diseases in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries in the face of climate change—East Africa as a case study
Climate change is having unprecedented impacts on human health, including increasing infectious disease risk. Despite this, health systems across the world are currently not prepared for novel disease scenarios anticipated with climate change. While the need for health systems to develop climate change adaptation strategies has been stressed in the past, there is no clear consensus on how this can be achieved, especially in rural areas in low- an…
First National Bridging Workshop on International Health Regulations 2005 and Performance of Veterinary Services Pathway in Kenya
The health of humans and animals is interlinked, and endemic, emerging, and re-emerging zoonotic diseases easily pose risks to both humans and animals. Approximately 60% of widely known infectious diseases and 75% of emerging pathogens are of zoonotic origin [1], and the potential impact of zoonotic diseases on citizens’ livelihoods and socio-economic activities is significant. [...]
Rabies Elimination in Rural Kenya
Background In Africa, rabies causes an estimated 24,000 human deaths annually. Mass dog vaccinations coupled with timely post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for dog-bite patients are the main interventions to eliminate human rabies deaths. A well-informed healthcare workforce and the availability and accessibility of rabies biologicals at health facilities are critical in reducing rabies deaths. We assessed awareness and knowledge regarding rabies an…
Comparison of knowledge, attitude, and practices of animal and human brucellosis between nomadic pastoralists and non-pastoralists in Kenya
Nomadic pastoralists are more likely to engage in risky practices that promote Brucella Infection, probably because of their occupation and culture, despite having significant knowledge of the disease
Successes and challenges of the One Health approach in Kenya over the last decade
More than 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic in origin and a transdisciplinary, multi-sectoral One Health approach is a key strategy for their effective prevention and control. In 2004, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention office in Kenya (CDC Kenya) established the Global Disease Detection Division of which one core component was to support, with other partners, the One Health approach to public health science. After catal…
