  • Patterns of antibiotic use for acute febrile illness in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessLuciana Lepore, Jeanette Dawa et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Introduction In East Africa and beyond, uncertainty regarding the underlying aetiology of febrile illnesses may result in inappropriate treatment. In our study, we aimed at enhancing our understanding of antibiotic use patterns, prescribing practices and factors influencing antibiotic use in this region by exploring the pathways of care for acute febrile illnesses in three countries in East Africa. Methods Between October 2021 and February 2024, …

  • Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in Tanzania

    Open AccessSayoki Mfinanga, Sayoki Godfrey Mfinanga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Between August and October 2021, before the Omicron wave and before COVID-19 vaccines became widely available in Tanzania, two studies estimated that half of the population in Zanzibar and Mwanza in Tanzania had SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. From May 2020 to Dec 2021, Tanzania adopted a very different COVID-19 mitigation strategy with no lockdowns or quarantines and limited community-level COVID-19 testing. We conducted population-based SARS-CoV-2 serop…

  • Importance of outbreak response research in bridging knowledge gaps on emerging infectious diseases

    Open AccessRobert F Breiman, Eric Osoro et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    An important outcome of the devastating 2014 West African Ebola virus disease outbreak and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has been the growing promotion of conducting research during outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) as a valuable and acceptable process of acquiring knowledge to enhance our ability to better prevent and control these diseases in the future. Recognising the unique opportunity during outbreaks to leverage increases in ca…

  • Risk factors for long Covid among participants of a population-based study in urban and rural Kenya, 2021

    Open AccessGodfrey Bigogo, Allan Audi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    PCC were found in approximately one-fifth to one-third of participants with the presence of underlying medical conditions being a common risk factor in all outcomes. Advocacy for the prioritization of interventions such as vaccination of persons with underlying medical conditions could consequently result in a reduction in the risk of PCC

  • Estimating excess mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic from a population-based infectious disease surveillance in two diverse populations in Kenya, March 2020-December 2021

    Open AccessClifford Oduor, Allan Audi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Robust data on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality in Africa are relatively scarce. Using data from two well-characterized populations in Kenya we aimed to estimate excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The mortality data arise from an ongoing population-based infectious disease surveillance (PBIDS) platform, which has been operational since 2006 in rural western Kenya (Asembo, Siaya County) and an urban informal sett…

  • Rabies Elimination in Rural Kenya

    Open AccessVeronicah Chuchu, Veronicah Mbaire Chuchu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background In Africa, rabies causes an estimated 24,000 human deaths annually. Mass dog vaccinations coupled with timely post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for dog-bite patients are the main interventions to eliminate human rabies deaths. A well-informed healthcare workforce and the availability and accessibility of rabies biologicals at health facilities are critical in reducing rabies deaths. We assessed awareness and knowledge regarding rabies an…
