  • Malaria incidence rose following the introduction of neonicotinoid-based IRS in selected districts in northern Ghana

    Open AccessSylvester Coleman, Christian Atta-Obeng et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    In Ghana, indoor residual spraying (IRS) has been a key intervention for malaria control since 2008. After seven years of IRS with an organophosphate insecticide, which substantially reduced malaria incidence, IRS programs transitioned to neonicotinoid-based products between 2018 and 2019 as part of an insecticide rotation plan. This change was largely informed by entomological data from a limited number of pilot districts, with little evidence o…

  • Knowledge and perceptions of lymphatic filariasis patients in selected hotspot endemic communities in southern Ghana

    Open AccessAlexander Kwarteng, Kristi Heather Kenyon et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a mosquito-borne neglected tropical disease that is one of the leading global causes of permanent disability. To date, LF interventions have been largely biomedical, focusing on drug treatments to disrupt parasite transmission and manage disease morbidity. Although important, these Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programs neglect the significance of socio-economic burden to the health of LF patients, which are compound…

  • Prospects of Immunology Education and Research in Developing Countries

    Open AccessAlexander Kwarteng, Augustina Angelina Sylverken et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    The burden of infectious disease in developing countries is substantially higher than in developed nations. Reasons include poor health care infrastructure and deficiencies in public understanding of infectious disease mechanisms and disease prevention. While immunology education and research have an enviable role in understanding host-pathogen interactions, training programs in immunology remain fully integrated into the curricula of higher inst…

  • Financial burden impact quality of life among lymphatic Filariasis patients

    Open AccessSamuel Opoku Asiedu, Alexander Kwarteng et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Our findings support previous works on the reduced quality of life among lymphatic filariasis patients with pathology. In this study, our results reveal a depressing financial condition among people presenting with late stages of LF pathologies, which eventually reduces their well-being
