Case Management of Imported Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Senegal, July 2023.

We report an imported Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever case in Senegal. The patient received PCR confirmation of virus infection 10 days after symptom onset. We identified 46 patient contacts in Senegal; 87.

Feasibility and acceptability of nationwide HPV vaccine introduction in Senegal: Findings from community-level cross-sectional surveys, 2020.

In Senegal, cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality from all cancers. In 2018, Senegal launched a national human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi), support. HPV vaccination was incorporated into the national immunization program as a two-dose schedule, with a 6-12-month interval, to nine-year-old girls via routine immunization (RI) services at health facilities, schools and community outreach services throughout the year.

Factors related to human-vector contact that modify the likelihood of malaria transmission during a contained outbreak in Praia, Cabo Verde.

Background: Determining the reproductive rate and how it varies over time and space (R) provides important insight to understand transmission of a given disease and inform optimal strategies for controlling or eliminating it. Estimating R for malaria is difficult partly due to the widespread use of interventions and immunity to disease masking incident infections. A malaria outbreak in Praia, Cabo Verde in 2017 provided a unique opportunity to estimate R directly, providing a proxy for the intensity of vector-human contact and measure the impact of vector control measures.

Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Senegal: a national population-based cross-sectional survey, between October and November 2020.

Objectives: A nationwide cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conducted to capture the true extent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exposure in Senegal.

Methods: Multi-stage random cluster sampling of households was performed between October and November 2020, at the end of the first wave of COVID-19 transmission. Anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies were screened using three distinct ELISA assays.

[In-vitro suspension model of haemangioma vascular endothelial cells (HVECs)].

Introduction: Haemangioma is the most common tumour of infancy. Its biological behaviour is one of a benign nature and characterised by a typical biphasic growth pattern. After an initial proliferation during the child's first year of life an involution takes place and usually lasts until the first decade.
