Evaluation of the GenoScreen Deeplex Myc-TB workflow for drug-resistant tuberculosis testing in South Africa
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of death globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where healthcare systems are under-resourced and the burden of drug-resistant disease is highest. We assessed the feasibility of future integration of the GenoScreen Deeplex Myc-TB assay - a targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection and drug-resistance profiling within a national reference …
Consolidation of a genomic epidemiological surveillance network for tuberculosis (Reviget) in northern and northeastern Brazil
Globally, tuberculosis (TB) remains a top cause of death from infectious diseases, with an estimated 1.5 million deaths annually. Given its substantial social and economic burden, TB is a priority in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The WHO’s End TB Strategy emphasizes research, innovation, and the rapid implementation of new technologies, such as whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which are pivotal for precision health app…
Empowering tuberculosis genomic surveillance in Limpopo, South Africa through capacity building
Introduction: Limpopo, a predominantly rural province in South Africa, faces significant challenges in the management of tuberculosis (TB) due to its high mobility and limited healthcare infrastructure. This study aims to improve the genomic surveillance of TB in Limpopo through capacity building initiatives. Methods: A comprehensive training program was implemented that focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects of TB research, including …
The feasibility of respondent-driven sampling with people who use drugs in rural Western Cape, South Africa
The Western Cape is South Africa’s epicentre for tuberculosis (TB) and smoked drug use such as methamphetamine and methaqualone (Mandrax). Despite this, there are limited studies on people who smoke drugs (PWSD) with TB disease in South Africa, partly due to recruitment challenges. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a network-based sampling method used to recruit such key populations. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the appropria…
Alcohol and Tobacco Use in a Tuberculosis Treatment Cohort during South Africa’s Covid-19 Sales Bans
From these observations, we hypothesize that policies restricting alcohol and tobacco availability seem to enable some individuals to reduce their consumption. However, these appear to have little effect on the volume of AA consumed among individuals with more harmful patterns of drinking in the absence of additional behavior change interventions
