Factors associated with laboratory-confirmed measles cases during the 2023 and 2024 outbreaks in Tanzania—a mixed-methods study
Background Despite the introduction of the two-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV2) in 2014, measles remains a persistent public health problem in Tanzania, characterized by recurrent outbreaks and shifting epidemiological patterns. Understanding the epidemiology of measles in the country is therefore essential to inform context-specific elimination strategies. Methods During the 2023 and 2024 measles outbreaks, data and samples from the Nation…
Molecular Epidemiology of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Virulence Factors in Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Rodents, Humans, Chicken, and Household Soils in Karatu, Northern Tanz…
The interaction of rodents with humans and chicken in the household environment can facilitate transmission of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), causing infections that are difficult to treat. We investigated the presence of genes encoded for carbapenem, extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), tetracycline and quinolones resistance, and virulence among 50 MDR E. coli isolated from human ( n = 14), chicken ( n = 12), rodent…
Occurrence of Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus among Humans, Rodents, Chickens, and Household Soils in Karatu, Northern Tanzania
We conducted this study to investigate the isolation frequency and phenotypic antibiotic resistance pattern of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from rodents, chickens, humans, and household soils. Specimens were plated onto mannitol salt agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK) and incubated aerobically at 37 °C for 24 h. Presumptive colonies of S. aureus were subjected to Gram staining, as well as catalase, deoxyribonuclease (DNAse), and coagulase tests for …
Forty-two years of responding to Ebola virus outbreaks in Sub-Saharan Africa
Introduction: Ebola virus disease (EVD) is one of the deadliest haemorrhagic fevers affecting humans and non-human primates. Thirty-four outbreaks have been reported in Africa since it was first recognised in 1976. This review analysed 42 years of EVD outbreaks and identified various challenges and opportunities for its control and prevention in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: A literature search of relevant articles on EVD was done in PubMed, Web o…
