    Open AccessJames Natweta Baguma, Shamilah Namusisi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    More than 70% of new, emerging, and reemerging infectious diseases are from animal origin. Human interaction with bats has been associated as a driver for various fetal zoonoses, including numerous viral diseases of bat-origin. A lot of serological evidence has been gathered around human-bat interaction, yet very little is known regarding the underlying risk factors at community level. This study was aimed at understanding the human-bat interacti…

Therefore, enhancing screening programs, expanding outreach initiatives, and tailoring services to accommodate nontraditional work hours while leveraging peer networks can significantly improve vaccine uptake and reduce hepatitis B transmission in this high-risk population

This study therefore assessed the level of adherence to malaria treatment guidelines and asso…
