Background HIV-1 infections remain a global public health concern. Scaled-up antiretroviral treatment (ART) is
crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality related to HIV/AIDS. The emergence of drug-resistance mutations
(DRMs) compromises viral suppression and contributes to the continued HIV-1 transmiss...
Investment in Africa over the
past year with regard to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
sequencing has led to a massive increase in
the number of sequences, which, to date, exceeds 100,000 sequences generated to track
the pandemic on the continent. These sequences have profoun...
Introduction: The novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), etiological agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in China in December 2019 and spread worldwide.

The literature on sero-epidemiological studies of flaviviral infections in the African continent is quite scarce. Much of the viral epidemiology studies have been focussing on diseases such as HIV/AIDS because of their sheer magnitude and impact on the lives of people in the various affected countries. I...
From a global perspective, the large and diverse African population is disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease (CVD). The historical balance between communicable and noncommunicable pathways to CVD in different African regions is dependent on external factors over the life course and at a s...
Context: The effect of global health initiatives on population health is uncertain. Between 2003 and 2008, the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the largest initiative ever devoted to a single disease, operated intensively in 12 African focus countries. The initiative's effect on al...

There are inefficiencies in current approaches to monitoring patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. Patients typically attend clinics every 1–3 months for clinical assessment, with clinic costs being comparable with costs of drugs themselves, CD4 counts are measured every 6 mon...
