Use of antimicrobials in livestock and fish production has been increasing drastically in the last decades, with trends pointing towards further increases over the coming years. The situation is particularly complex in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where excessive use in intensifying s...

Dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) are an important protein source
for people in semi-arid and arid regions of Africa. In Kenya, camel populations
have grown dramatically in the past few decades resulting in the potential
for increased disease transmission between humans and camels. An

To formally quantify the level of under-detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness (SS) during an epidemic in Uganda, a decision tree (under-detection) model was developed; concurrently, to quantify the subset of undetected cases that sought health care but were not diagnosed, ...

The tapeworm Taenia solium is the parasite responsible for neurocysticercosis, a neglected tropical disease of public health importance, thought to cause approximately 1/3 of epilepsy cases across endemic regions. The consumption of undercooked infected pork perpetuates the parasite’s life-cycle ...

Classifying, describing and understanding the natural environment is an important element of studies of human, animal and ecosystem health, and baseline ecological data are commonly lacking in remote environments of the world. Human African trypanosomiasis is an important constraint on human well...

Background: Q fever in Kenya is poorly reported and its surveillance is highly neglected. Standard empiric
treatment for febrile patients admitted to hospitals is antimalarials or penicillin-based antibiotics, which have no
activity against Coxiella burnetii. This study aimed to assess the seropr...

Foodborne diseases (FBDs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the human population. Accurate information on the burden of FBDs is needed to inform policy makers and allocate appropriate resources for food safety control and intervention. Consequently, in 2006 the WHO launched an initi...
