Burden of Shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections among children under 5 years in Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi
Diarrhoea remains a major problem among children in low- and middle-income countries, driven by multiple pathogens including rotavirus, Shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Rotavirus vaccines have notably reduced diarrhoea deaths. However, the health consequences associated with Shigella and ETEC, along with rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), have prompted the WHO to prioritise vaccine development against these two pathogens.…
Caregiver dynamics and factors affecting health-seeking behaviors for childhood diarrhea in Mukuru informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya
Background Diarrheal disease is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years globally. Approximately 1.7 billion diarrheal cases are reported annually resulting in more than 400,000 deaths in children under five. Sub-Saharan Africa still harbors populations with the highest global mortality rates for diarrhea accounting for approximately 60% of all diarrheal deaths in this age group. In Kenya, diarrhea significantl…
Evidence needs and community involvement in policy decisions for vaccine-preventable diarrhoeal infections among children under the age of five years
Diarrhoeal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with Shigella and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), both targets of ongoing vaccine development, playing major roles. To inform the introduction of vaccines against these pathogens in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malawi, we assessed evidence needs for technical policy decisions and community engagement in n…
Knowledge translation and evidence generation to increase the impact of vector control in Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Malawi
Lack of context-specific evidence and inadequate evidence-use for decision-making contribute to poor health. This paper reports on our work aimed at addressing the knowledge translation (KT) gap between evidence generators and users. We present our experiences of strengthening KT via technical advisory groups (TAGs) in parallel with increasing evidence generation through research fellowships and operational research. Vectorborne diseases (VBDs) i…
