Viral disease outbreak remains a key public health concern given its impact on life and livelihood. Historical data suggests Lassa fever is endemic in several West African countries with sporadic cases occurring elsewhere the region. In February 2023, Ghana recorded second of following that 2011. The present study sought to document epidemiology recent Ghana. used from case investigation forms accompanying samples submitted Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research between March 2023...
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) belong to a group of viral infectious diseases that interfere with the blood's clotting mechanism. VHF has wide host range, including bats, rodents, or arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks. Most VHFs emerge suddenly outbreaks, making it difficult predict occurrence. To be responsive Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) provides high-end molecular genomic diagnostics capability surveillance suspected in samples collected from health...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are any group of viral infectious diseases that interfere with the blood’s ability to clot. Viruses cause these found in a variety hosts including bats, rodents or arthropods like mosquitoes and ticks. Most VHFs characterized identified as outbreaks which makes it difficult monitor predict. As result danger pathogens pose, Noguchi Memorial institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) part its mandate providing high end molecular...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction</bold> Between October 2021 and February 2022, there was an outbreak of Yellow fever that spread within several districts in the northern part Ghana. Febrile illnesses such as are often misdiagnosed malaria vice versa, which delays appropriate management treatment. Hence, true burden mostly underestimated. This study investigated epidemiology febrile patients suspected around epicenter a Ghana.<bold>Methods</bold> The cross-sectional conducted two...
