Contribution of socio-economic factors in the spread of antimicrobial resistant infections in Australian primary healthcare clinics.

Objectives: To effectively contain antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections, we must better understand the social determinates of health that contribute to transmission and spread of infections.

Methods: We used clinical data from patients attending primary healthcare clinics across three jurisdictions of Australia (2007-2019). Escherichia coli (E.

Experimenting with co-development: A qualitative study of gene drive research for malaria control in Mali.

We investigate how technology 'co-development' (between researchers, stakeholders and local communities) is framed in practice by those developing gene drive mosquitos for malaria eradication. Our case study focuses on UK and Mali-based researchers planning to undertake the first field trials in Mali of gene drive mosquitos for malaria control. While they and the wider gene drive research community are explicitly committed to the principle of co-development, how this is framed and practiced is not clear.

Ugandan stakeholder hopes and concerns about gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control: new directions for gene drive risk governance.

Background: The African Union's High-Level Panel on Emerging Technologies identified gene drive mosquitoes as a priority technology for malaria elimination. The first field trials are expected in 5-10 years in Uganda, Mali or Burkina Faso. In preparation, regional and international actors are developing risk governance guidelines which will delineate the framework for identifying and evaluating risks.
