In low- and middle-income countries, data on antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquaculture are scarce. Therefore, summarizing documented data on AMU, antimicrobial residue (AR), and AMR in aquaculture in Africa is key to understanding the risk to public health. Google Scholar, PubMed, African Journals online, and Medline were searched for articles published in English and French following the PRISMA guidelines.

- Rabies is a serious zoonotic disease affecting both animals and humans in Cameroon, with dogs as the primary transmission source and limited data on the prevalence in bats, which could act as potential reservoirs.
- A study examined 212 bats from various families in the North Region of Cameroon, finding that 26.9% tested positive for rabies, with a higher prevalence in adult bats compared to younger ones, and identified several risk factors for human exposure.
- The research confirmed the presence of Lyssavirus in bats, indicating a public health risk and highlighting the need for increased awareness and a "One Health" strategy to manage rabies in both animals and humans.
The present study was carried out to establish the spatiotemporal distribution of ASF between 2010 and 2017 in the Adamawa, North, and Far North regions of Cameroon. A retrospective study with data relating to the northern regions from epidemiological reports from target organizations in Cameroon was used to analyze outbreaks of ASF from 2010 to 2016. A prospective study consisting of risk factor analysis and serological investigation of anti-ASF antibodies and ASF RT-PCR antigen detection test in pig farms in the study regions with clinical suspicion of ASF was carried out in 2017.
