Evaluating the digital dispensation of HIV self-testing (HIVST) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Pakistan
HIV self-testing (HIVST) has recently been introduced through a digital platform for men who have sex with men (MSM) in Pakistan, where they can order and receive OraQuick HIVST via mail. The current study aimed to evaluate the digital dispensation of HIVST to the MSM community in Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews with MSM who availed HIVST services were conducted through in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs). Participa…
Evaluation of MTego and BG-Sentinel traps for malaria and arbovirus vector surveillance in Cabo Verde
Arboviral outbreaks are rising across Africa, a region that continues to face a substantial malaria burden. Cabo Verde remains vulnerable to the emergence and re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue, Zika, and malaria. In January 2024, the World Health Organization certified the country as malaria-free; however, the risk of reintroduction persists. Maintaining malaria-free status requires continuous robust epidemiological and en…
Phenotypic markers misclassify isolates of Salmonella Typhimurium as S. Typhi, but were correctly identified by whole genome sequencing during a septicemia study in western Kenya
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rising global health threat and estimated to cause 700,000 deaths annually. Although blood cultures (BCs) are the reference standard to diagnose bloodstream infections and inference of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), the method could fail to differentiate bacteria with similar biochemical characteristics. This study compared phenotypic method (AST) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) in bacterial spec…
“The Covid-19 pandemic in BRICS
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) are a group of developing countries with shared economic, healthcare, and scientific interests. These countries navigate multiple syndemics, and the COVID-19 pandemic placed severe strain on already burdened BRICS’ healthcare systems, hampering effective pandemic interventions. Genomic surveillance and molecular epidemiology remain indispensable tools for facilitating informed pandemic interv…
Genomic epidemiology of Sars-CoV-2 during the first four waves in Mozambique
Mozambique reported the first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in March 2020 and it has since spread to all provinces in the country. To investigate the introductions and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Mozambique, 1 142 whole genome sequences sampled within Mozambique were phylogenetically analyzed against a globally representative set, reflecting the first 25 months of the epidemic. The epidemic in the country was marked by four waves of inf…

In this discussion it is stressed that the need for the “Classification and Grouping of Occupations” in the field of descriptive statistics and the analysis of occupational composition is the inevitable result of progressive economic and occupational differentiation in highly developed and developing societies. Special attention is paid to the occupational classification system applied by the South African Department of Statistics. It is pointed …
