Clustering and visualisation of the Gabriel network expertise in the field of infectious diseases
INTRODUCTION: The Global Approach to Biology Research, Infectious diseases and Epidemics in Low-income countries (GABRIEL) network is an international scientific network of 21 centres coordinated by the Merieux Foundation (Lyon, France). Mapping and characterising the similarities and differences in expertise and activities across four major infectious diseases (tuberculosis, antimicrobial-resistant infections, acute respiratory infections and em…
Eight-year tuberculosis epidemic trends in the Republic of Congo, a high TB burden country
BACKGROUND: Evaluating progress towards WHO End Tuberculosis Strategy goals is crucial for high burden countries like the Republic of Congo. This study analysed trends in tuberculosis (TB) incidence, treatment, care quality and operational research activities from 2016 to 2023 to assess the country's control efforts. METHODS: An 8-year retrospective study of TB incidence/mortality trends was performed using a Joint Point Analysis V.5.2.0. We extr…
A pragmatic pipeline for drug resistance and lineage identification in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using whole genome sequencing
Delays in accurate diagnosis of drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) can hinder treatment. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides more information than standard molecular and phenotypic testing, but commonly used platforms are expensive to implement, and data interpretation requires significant expertise. We aimed to optimise a TB WGS diagnostic pipeline balancing user-friendliness, cost-effectiveness and time to results, whilst ensuring accuracy.…
Current sampling and sequencing biases of Lassa mammarenavirus limit inference from phylogeography and molecular epidemiology in Lassa fever endemic regions
Lassa fever (LF) is a potentially lethal viral haemorrhagic infection of humans caused by Lassa mammarenavirus (LASV). It is an important endemic zoonotic disease in West Africa with growing evidence for increasing frequency and sizes of outbreaks. Phylogeographic and molecular epidemiology methods have projected expansion of the Lassa fever endemic zone in the context of future global change. The Natal multimammate mouse ( Mastomys natalensis ) …
An ethics of anthropology‐informed community engagement with Covid‐19 clinical trials in Africa
The COVID‐19 pandemic has reinforced the critical role of ethics and community engagement in designing and conducting clinical research during infectious disease outbreaks where no vaccine or treatment already exists. In reviewing current practices across Africa, we distinguish between three distinct roles for community engagement in clinical research that are often conflated: 1) the importance of community engagement for identifying and honourin…
Risk factors and prevalence of human African trypanosomiasis in individuals living in remote areas of the republic of Congo
This study highlights the need of revising and strengthening the strategies of HAT control in Republic of Congo, using an approach which will take into account the education level, the marital status and the occupation of the population at risk
The continuing 2019-nCoV epidemic threat of novel coronaviruses to global health — The latest 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China
The Missouri River forming the border between Nebraska and South Dakota, Iowa, and Missouri. The upper unchannelized reach extends from the Nebraska-South Dakota state line (river kilometer (rkm) 1,411) to the upper end of Lewis and Clark Lake (rkm 1,347). The lower unchannelized reach extends from Gavins Point Dam (rkm 1 ,308) to the mouth of the Big Sioux River (rkm 1,184). The upper channelized reach extends from the mouth of the Big Sioux Riv…
Malaria burden and case management in the Republic of Congo
These findings are consistent with a reduction of malaria transmission in the two areas. This study raises the issue of targeted training for health workers and sustained availability of RDTs in order to improve quality of care through optimal use of RDTs
EDCTP regional networks of excellence
The shared initial merits and lessons learnt portray in part the strengthened capacity of these networks for improved research coordination and conduct of planned multi-center clinical trials in Africa. Increased funding by African agencies, governments and international health partners will ensure sustainability of these networks for research capacity development and demonstrate their commitment to achieving the MDGs in Africa
Ethics Committees in Western and Central Africa
The involvement of developing countries in international clinical trials is necessary for the development of appropriate medicines for local populations. However, the absence of appropriate structures for ethical review represents a barrier for certain countries. Currently there is very little information available on existing structures dedicated to ethics in western and central Africa. This article briefly describes historical milestones in the…
