Background Stunting and overt malnutrition remain prevalent among school age children in rural areas of Côte d'Ivoire while obesity is increasing urban areas. Associations children's nutritional status, Plasmodium infection, physical activity household characteristics with body composition were analyzed to identify what factors might be contributing this dual burden disease. Methods Longitudinal growth curve models (LGCM) evaluated associations micronutrient food security, falciparum...
Abstract Background In low- and middle-income countries, infectious diseases remain a key public health issue. Additionally, non-communicable are rapidly growing problem that impose considerable burden on population health. One way to address this dual disease burden, is incorporate (lifestyle) promotion measures within the education sector. planned study, we will (i) assess compare physical activity, fitness, micronutrient status, body composition, infections with soil-transmitted...
Paragonimiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by an infection with lung flukes that transmitted through the consumption of undercooked crabs. The often confused tuberculosis. thought to be endemic in south-western Côte d'Ivoire.Two cross-sectional surveys were carried out first half 2009 patients attending two tuberculosis centres Abidjan. A third survey was conducted May 2010 children primary schools Dabou, where crabs are frequently consumed. Patients chronic cough provided three...
A Rapid Integrated Assessment (RIA) of nutrition and health risks benefits was carried out in 2013 sheep goat agri-food systems urban rural Senegal. This included: i) testing small ruminants (n = 384) for brucellosis, ii) focus group discussions mothers covering knowledge, attitude practices related to preparation consumption animal source food. No antibodies Brucella melitensis, the presumed priority zoonotic pathogen, were found. Comparing more traditional, livestock-keeping community with...
Background: Physical inactivity and low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are independent cardiovascular risk factors among children, but have rarely been investigated concurrently in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this study was to compare physical activity (PA) CRF primary schoolchildren living Côte d'Ivoire (CI), South Africa (ZA), Tanzania (TZ), test sex- age-related differences, examine whether PA associated with each other. Methods: Baseline data from an ongoing cluster-randomized...
Objectives Muscular strength represents a specific component of health-related fitness. Hand grip (HGS) is used as an indicator for musculoskeletal fitness in children. HGS can also be marker cardiometabolic risk, but most available data are derived from Western high-income countries. Therefore, this study examines whether associated with body composition and markers cardiovascular risk children three sub-Saharan African Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Public primary schools (grade...
Hygiene is the most useful public health measure for preventing infections of important endemic and emerging diseases global significance. This study aimed to assess impact these preventive measures on dirty hand diseases. A retrospective survey was conducted in rural general hospitals Taabo (south-central Côte d’Ivoire) Marcory (urban Abidjan) collect clinical data patients’ records from 2013 2020. In addition, focus group discussions (N = 8) were communities both settings identify...
Brucellosis is a zoonosis of economic and public health concern. While most diagnostic tests for brucellosis can only be performed in the laboratory, Fluorescence Polarization Assay (FPA) was developed as rapid point-of-care field test. This pilot project aimed to validate use FPA diagnosis ruminant on field, compare performance with that more commonly used Rose Bengal Test (RBT). Blood samples were first collected from ruminants livestock market, later nearby slaughterhouse Port Bouët,...
Abstract Background A balanced nutrition is important for children’s physical and cognitive development; yet, remains a challenge in many parts of low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Early detection nutritional deficiency metabolic syndrome school-aged children necessary to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) later life. This study aimed at obtaining baseline data on health, status, markers NCDs among primary schoolchildren Côte d’Ivoire. Methods cross-sectional survey was conducted...
Streptococcus infantarius subsp. (Sii) has been identified as predominant lactic acid bacteria in spontaneously fermented dairy products (FDPs) sub-Saharan Africa including Côte d'Ivoire. However, Sii belongs to the bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC). Most SBSEC members are assumed be involved opportunistic pathogens serious diseases both humans and animals. A population-based cross-sectional survey, 385 participants was conducted Korhogo, northern d'Ivoire, identify risk factors...
The Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) and possibly infantarius subsp. (Sii) are associated with human animal diseases. Sii predominate in spontaneously fermented milk products unknown public health effects. Sii/SBSEC prevalence data from West Africa correlation transformation practices limited. Northern Côte d'Ivoire served as study area due to its importance production consumption link a wider Sudano-Sahelian pastoral zone of cross-border trade. We aimed describe the...
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Senegal May 2015 on the microbial quality of roasted sheep meat 40 selected dibiteries, which are informal and small fast-food restaurants offering to Senegalese consumers.An intervention designed implemented these dibiteries coupled with an appraisal economic managerial performance those improve their hygiene management practices.The microbiological mutton assessed 1 month before then 2 10 months post-intervention.Three types were identified among...
Livestock diseases are a major constraint to farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. However, an inadequate use of acaracides and antibiotics for animal control leads multi-resistance. Research on medicinal plants can be alternative. The aim this study was assess the efficacy three plant extracts cattle ticks multi-resistant bacteria isolated milk from Korhogo dairy basin. A cross- sectional survey conducted March August 2023 24 farms northern Côte d’Ivoire. Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus...
Abstract Background Handwashing is the first line of hygiene measures and one oldest methods preventing spread infectious diseases. Despite its efficacy in health system, handwashing often inadequately practiced by populations. This study aimed to assess presence SARS-CoV-2, Escherichia coli ( E. ) Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) on hands as indicators lack hand during COVID 19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted rural Taabo urban Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) from January...
Air pollution can severely impact child lung health but is often not considered a public priority by policy-makers and population in low-and-middle income countries. We did an interdisciplinary mixed method study to assess exposure air respiratory children aged 5-10 living poorly condition Yopougon, district of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, parent perceptions knowledge pollution. assessed with indoor outdoor PM10 PM2.5 concentrations questionnaires, children’s ISAAC questionnaire, clinical...
