  • High confidence and demand for hepatitis E vaccine during an outbreak in Bentiu, South Sudan

    Open AccessAybüke Koyuncu, Kinya Vincent Asilaza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    In 2021 in response to an outbreak of hepatitis E in Bentiu internally displaced persons camp the South Sudanese Ministry of Health with support from Médecins Sans Frontières implemented the first-ever mass reactive vaccination campaign with HEV239 (Hecolin; Innovax, Xiamen, China). We conducted qualitative research to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to hepatitis E and the hepatitis E vaccine. We conducted 8 focus group discuss…

  • The challenge of protracted measles outbreaks in Kismayo, Somalia

    Open AccessDouglas K Lau, Simone Seebacher et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    There was a protracted measles outbreak in Kismayo, Somalia between 2020–2021. The outbreak persisted despite availability of measles containing vaccine (MCV) through Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) services and reactive vaccination campaigns. We sought to estimate measles burden and MCV coverage during the outbreak while further identifying barriers and facilitators to care and vaccinations. We adopted a cross-sectional, sequential mixed-…

  • Barriers to accessing and using primary and secondary healthcare among children under-five in the Koutiala health district of Mali

    Open AccessMartin Ndinakie Yakum, Etienne Gignoux et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Barriers to accessing care in Koutiala encompass issues with the healthcare delivery system (e.g., stock shortages, service fees, referral failure, distances to CSComs), patterns of service utilization (e.g., self-medication, traditional medicine) and sociocultural factors (e.g., household decision-making). The low referral completion rate is particularly concerning, as these children are high-risk for health deterioration and death and require u…

  • Seroprevalence of anti-Sars-CoV-2 antibodies among blood donors from December 2020 to June 2021 in Koutiala district, Mali

    Open AccessFara Wagbo Temessadouno, Jean Gilbert Ndong et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). At the time of the study, little data on the level of exposure of the population in Koutiala district in Mali to SARS-CoV-2 was available. Although blood donors are not representative of the general population, a COVID-19 seroprevalence estimate in this population was intended to assess the extent of community transmission, se…

  • Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies and retrospective mortality in two African settings

    Open AccessErica Simons, Birgit Nikolay et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Although seroprevalence studies have demonstrated the wide circulation of SARS-COV-2 in African countries, the impact on population health in these settings is still poorly understood. Using representative samples of the general population, we evaluated retrospective mortality and seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Lubumbashi and Abidjan. The studies included retrospective mortality surveys and nested anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevale…

  • A telephone based assessment of the health situation in the far north region of Cameroon

    Open AccessEtienne Gignoux, Olivier Tresor Donfack Sontsa et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    Telephone interviews are feasible in areas with limited access, although special attention should be paid to the initial collection of phone numbers. The use of text messages to collect data was not satisfactory is not recommended for this purpose. Mortality in Logone-et-Chari and Mayo-Sava was under critical humanitarian thresholds although a considerable number of deaths were directly related to the conflict

  • Measles seroprevalence after reactive vaccination campaigns during the 2015 measles outbreak in four health zones of the former Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessPatrick Keating, Antonio Isidro Carrión Martín et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    The measured seroprevalence was consistent with the events that occurred in these HZs over the past few years. Measles seroprevalence might prove a valuable source of information to help adjust the timing of future SIAs and prioritizing support to the EPI in this region as long as the VC does not reach a level high enough to efficiently prevent epidemic flare-ups
