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…
Student health initiatives for enhanced disease surveillance in Ghana
Background: Student Health Initiatives for Enhanced Disease Surveillance (SHIEDS) is a student-driven program that aims to strengthen infectious disease surveillance and enhance healthy lifestyles within university communities in Ghana. This study aimed to assess SHIEDS feasibility and implementation at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana. Methods: Between 29th June and 6th July 2024, educational campaign…
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…
Indoor residual spraying with a non-pyrethroid insecticide reduces the reservoir of Plasmodium falciparum in a high-transmission area in northern Ghana
High-malaria burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa are shifting from malaria control towards elimination. Hence, there is need to gain a contemporary understanding of how indoor residual spraying (IRS) with non-pyrethroid insecticides when combined with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) impregnated with pyrethroid insecticides, contribute to the efforts of National Malaria Control Programmes to interrupt transmission and reduce the reservoi…
Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tools for Surveillance of Sars-CoV-2 Infections
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a recently emerged and highly contagious virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). As of August 24, 2021, there were more than 212 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and nearly 4.4 million deaths reported globally. Early diagnosis and isolation of infected individuals remains one of the most effective public health interventions to control SARS-CoV-2 spread and for effecti…
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…
