Wastewater-based surveillance as a proactive public health tool
Wastewater-based surveillance offers a cost-effective, population-level complement to clinical testing for early detection of infectious disease outbreaks; however, its adoption in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. We conducted a study in Kampala, Uganda, to quantify SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater and evaluate its association with reported clinical cases, thereby strengthening community-level surveillance strategies. From March 2023…
Diagnostics for detection and surveillance of priority epidemic-prone diseases in Africa
In 2023, Africa experienced 180 public health emergencies, of which 90% were infectious diseases and 75% were related to zoonotic diseases. Testing capacity for epidemic-prone diseases is essential to enable rapid and accurate identification of causative agents, and for action to prevent disease spread. Moreover, testing is pivotal in monitoring disease transmission, evaluating public health interventions and informing targeted resource allocatio…
