During its first two and a half months, the recently emerged 2019 novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has already infected over one-hundred thousand people worldwide taken more than four lives. However, swiftly spreading virus also caused an unprecedentedly rapid response from research community facing unknown health challenge of potentially enormous proportions. Unfortunately, experimental to understand molecular mechanisms behind viral infection design vaccine or antivirals is costly takes...
Despite the increasing uptake of information and communication technologies (ICT) within healthcare services across developing countries, community workers (CHWs) have limited knowledge to fully utilise computerised clinical systems mobile apps. The 'Introduction Information Communication Technology eHealth' course was developed with aim provide CHWs in Malawi, Africa, basic computer skills use digital solutions delivery. delivered using a traditional blended learning approach. Two...
Abstract The worldwide decline in malaria incidence is revealing the extensive burden of non-malarial febrile illness (NMFI), which remains poorly understood and difficult to diagnose. To characterize NMFI Senegal, we collected venous blood clinical metadata a cross-sectional study patients healthy controls low area. Using 16S untargeted sequencing, detected viral, bacterial, or eukaryotic pathogens 23% (38/163) cases. Bacteria were most common, with relapsing fever Borrelia spotted...
Abstract During its first month, the recently emerged 2019 Wuhan novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has already infected many thousands of people in mainland China and worldwide took hundreds lives. However, swiftly spreading virus also caused an unprecedentedly rapid response from research community facing unknown health challenge potentially enormous proportions. Unfortunately, experimental to understand molecular mechanisms behind viral infection design a vaccine or antivirals is costly takes...

<p>Identifying epidemic-driving factors through epidemiological modeling is a crucial public health strategy that has substantial policy implications for control and prevention initiatives. In this study, we employ dynamic to investigate the transmission dynamics of pneumonic plague epidemics in Hong Kong from 1902 1904. Through integration human, flea, rodent populations, analyze long-term changing trends identify influence outbreaks. We examine model derive epidemic metrics, such as...
Abstract Background Effective control of infectious diseases relies heavily on understanding transmission dynamics and implementing interventions that reduce the spread. Non-pharmaceutical (NPIs), such as mask-wearing, social distancing, quarantining, are vital tools in managing outbreaks where vaccines or treatments limited. However, success NPIs is influenced by human behavior, including compliance with guidelines, attitudes beliefs about effectiveness interventions. In this study, we...
Abstract The worldwide decline in malaria incidence is revealing the extensive burden of non-malarial febrile illness (NMFI), which remains poorly understood and difficult to diagnose. To characterize NMFI Senegal, we collected venous blood clinical metadata from patients healthy controls a low area. Using 16S unbiased sequencing, detected viral, bacterial, or eukaryotic pathogens 29% cases. Bacteria were most common, with relapsing fever Borrelia spotted Rickettsia found 15% 3.7% cases,...
