Widening geographic range of Rift Valley fever disease clusters associated with climate change in East Africa
BACKGROUND: Recent epidemiology of Rift Valley fever (RVF) disease in Africa suggests growing frequency and expanding geographic range of small disease clusters in regions that previously had not reported the disease. We investigated factors associated with the phenomenon by characterising recent RVF disease events in East Africa. METHODS: Data on 100 disease events (2008-2022) from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania were obtained from public databases a…
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…
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…
