Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the spread and genetic factors of the dengue virus (DENV-1) in Guangdong, China, from 1990 to 2019, highlighting its challenges to public health due to frequent imports causing outbreaks.
- - Researchers analyzed 179 genomes from local dengue cases along with over 5,000 complete sequences, revealing complex transmission patterns and the presence of multiple dengue serotypes in the region, particularly Guangdong and Yunnan provinces.
- - Key findings include the identification of 189 transmission clusters with specific clades responsible for major outbreaks and a periodicity of approximately 3 years, with Guangzhou emerging as a critical hub for DENV-1 transmission across China.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a vast burden on public health and socioeconomics in West Africa, but the epidemic situation is unclear. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the positive rate, death rate, and diversity of SARS-CoV-2. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 894,813 cases of COVID-19 have been recorded, with 12,028 deaths, both of which were distributed in all 16 countries.

Sierra Leone is one of the countries with the highest malaria burden in the world. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) toward malaria control and prevention among caregivers of children under 5 in the Western Area of Sierra Leone.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Ebola virus emerged in West Africa in December 2013. The ease of mobility, porous borders, and lack of public health infrastructure led to the largest Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak to date.
Intervention: The 2013 EVD outbreak signalled the need for laboratory diagnostic capabilities in areas without strong public health systems.
