Over a decade ago, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership was launched, and since then there has been unprecedented investment in malaria control. We examined change transmission intensity during period 2000-10 Africa.We assembled geocoded community Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate standardised to age group 2-10 years (PfPR2-10) database from across 49 endemic countries territories Africa surveys undertaken 1980. The data were used within Bayesian space-time geostatistical framework predict...
Abstract Health facilities form a central component of health systems, providing curative and preventative services structured to allow referral through pyramid increasingly complex service provision. Access care is multidimensional concept, however, in its most narrow sense, it refers geographic availability. Linking populations has been traditional per capita index heath coverage, with locations higher resolution population data, Geographic Information Systems for more refined metric...
BackgroundIn May 2022, several countries with no history of sustained community transmission mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) notified WHO new cases. These cases were soon followed by a large-scale outbreak, which unfolded across the world, driven local, in-country within previously unaffected countries. On July 23, declared outbreak Public Health Emergency International Concern. Here, we aim to describe main epidemiological features this largest reported date.MethodsIn analysis global...
Abstract Objectives To assess the discrepancies between real-world data and Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 estimates for six neglected tropical diseases in China. Additionally, to evaluate applicability GBD model within Chinese context effectiveness China's historical prevention control policies diseases. Design Comparative study (2004-2020). Main outcome measures Disability adjusted life years (DALYs). Methods DALYs based on reported leprosy, echinococcosis, schistosomiasis, visceral...
The occurrence of Ebola virus (EBOV) in West Africa during 2013-2015 is unprecedented. Early reports suggested that this outbreak EBOV mutating twice as fast previously observed, which indicates the potential for changes transmissibility and virulence could render current molecular diagnostics countermeasures ineffective. We have determined additional full-length sequences from two clusters imported infections into Mali, we show nucleotide substitution rate (9.6 × 10(-4) substitutions per...
To control malaria, the Rwandan government and its partners distributed insecticide-treated nets (ITN) made artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) widely available from 2005 onwards. The impact of these interventions on malaria cases, admissions deaths was assessed using data district hospitals household surveys.District records ITN ACT distribution were reviewed. Malaria non-malaria indictors in 30 ascertained surveillance records. Trends for 2000 to 2010 by segmented log-linear...
Abstract Background Emerging and re-emerging diseases with pandemic potential continue to challenge fragile health systems in Africa, creating enormous human economic toll. To provide evidence for the investment case public emergency preparedness, we analysed spatial temporal distribution of epidemics, disasters other emergencies WHO African region between 2016 2018. Methods We abstracted data from several sources, including: Region’s weekly bulletins on epidemics emergencies, WHO-Disease...
During the 2018-2020 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in North Kivu province Democratic Republic of Congo, EVD was diagnosed a patient who had received recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-based vaccine expressing ZEBOV glycoprotein (rVSV-ZEBOV) (Merck).His treatment included an (EBOV)-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb114), and he recovered within 14 days.However, 6 months later, presented again with severe EVD-like illness EBOV viremia, died.We initiated epidemiologic genomic...
Despite tremendous progress in the development of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for Ebola virus disease (EVD), challenges remain implementation holistic strategies to rapidly curtail outbreaks. We investigated effectiveness a community-based contact isolation strategy limit spread Democratic Republic Congo (DRC).We did quasi-experimental comparison study. Eligible participants were EVD contacts registered from 12 June 2019 18 May 2020 Beni Mabalako Health Zones. Intervention group...
On 31 December 2019, the Municipal Health Commission of Wuhan, China, reported a cluster atypical pneumonia cases. 5 January 2020, WHO publicly released Disease Outbreak News (DON) report, providing information about cases, implemented response interventions, and WHO’s risk assessment advice on public health social measures. Following 9 additional DON reports 209 daily situation reports, 17 August published first edition COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update (WEU). 1 September 2023, 158th...
On March 23, 2014, the Guinean Ministry of Health, in line with International Health Regulations 2005, notified WHO and world an outbreak Ebola virus disease (EVD). This followed laboratory confirmation by Pasteur Institute Dakar, Senegal (a collaborating centre), a 16-year-old girl from Guéckédou, small village southern Guinea.1Ohimain EI Silas-Olu D The 2013–2016 West Africa.Curr Opin Pharmacol. 2021; 60: 360-365Crossref Scopus (11) Google Scholar was 10 years ago. For first time, EVD had...
The cholera outbreak in 2018 Nigeria reaffirms its public health threat to the country. Evidence on current epidemiology of required for design and implementation appropriate interventions towards attaining global roadmap strategic goals elimination however seems lacking. Thus, this study aimed at addressing gap by describing Nigeria.This was a retrospective analysis surveillance data collected between January 1st November 19th, 2018. A case defined as an individual aged 2 years or older...

The tenth outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in North Kivu, the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC), was declared 8 days after end ninth EVD outbreak, Equateur Province on August 1, 2018. With a total 3,461 confirmed and probable cases, Kivu second largest that West Africa 2014-2016, observed DRC. This difficult to control because multiple challenges, including armed conflict, population displacement, movement contacts, community mistrust, high density. It took more than 21 months with...
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed weaknesses in disease surveillance nearly all countries. Early identification of cases and clusters for rapid containment was hampered by inadequate diagnostic capacity, insufficient contact tracing, fragmented data systems, incomplete insights public health responders, suboptimal governance these elements. Once SARS-CoV-2 became widespread, interventions to control community transmission were undermined weak national capacity integrate timely adjustment...
