Buruli ulcer community health education and medical screening in Ga South District, Ghana
Background Buruli ulcer (BU) is caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), but the mode of transmission is unclear. BU starts as a nodule, which can progress to ulcer if not treated. Most of the affected seek help late due to socio-cultural beliefs of the cause of the disease, leading to long treatment course and disability. Therefore, to raise awareness about the disease and detect early forms of BU cases for treatment, the National Service Personne…
Epidemiological overlaps in Covid-19 and malaria within healthcare and community settings of Southern Ghana
Background: COVID-19 disruptions including lockdowns and prioritization of COVID-19 control programs in Africa in 2020-2022 contributed to reductions in malaria control activities including malaria diagnosis, treatment and resistance monitoring. This study investigated the malaria burden and distribution on the background of active transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Southern Ghana; utilizing community health education and medical screening (CHEMS) app…
Barriers to social participation for people with disabilities in NTD-endemic areas of Benin and Côte d’Ivoire
People with disabilities (PWDs) due to neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) or other causes experience restrictions on social participation (RSPs). This study aimed to investigate the magnitude of these restrictions and associated factors in NTD-endemic communities in Benin and Côte d’Ivoire. This cross-sectional quantitative and qualitative study was conducted from 2021 to 2022 among 841 people with disabilities (PWDs) and 90 community members and…
Prevalence, resistance profiles and factors associated with skin and soft-tissue infections at Jinja regional referral hospital
Skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTI) are common cases of hospital-acquired infections with aetiological agents exhibiting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This is a global public health predicament responsible for a high burden of infectious diseases and threatens the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in Low- and Middle-Income countries (LMICs). This study determined the prevalence of SSTI, proportion of laboratory-…
Buruli ulcer in southern Côte D’ivoire
Buruli ulcer (BU) belongs to the group of neglected tropical diseases and constitutes a public health problem in many rural communities in Côte d’Ivoire. The transmission patterns of this skin infection are poorly defined, hence the current study aimed to contribute to the understanding, perceptions and interpretations of its mode of transmission using a socio-environmental approach. Social and environmental risk factors that may expose people to…
Molecular Characterization of Mycolactone Producing Mycobacteria from Aquatic Environments in Buruli Ulcer Non-Endemic Areas in Côte d’Ivoire
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), particularly mycolactone producing mycobacteria (MPM), are bacteria found in aquatic environments causing skin diseases in humans like Buruli ulcer (BU). Although the causative agent for BU, Mycobacterium ulcerans has been identified and associated with slow-moving water bodies, the real transmission route is still unknown. This study aimed to characterize MPMs from environmental aquatic samples collected in a …
