Predicting the cross-continental spread of the cassava brown streak disease epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa Open
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a major threat to smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where cassava is a staple crop. Caused by cassava brown streak ipomoviruses (CBSIs), CBSD has spread extensively since its detection …

Introducing researchers involved in vector control to modelling for operational decision-making in Benin: report of the workshop, January 17–18, 2024 Open
Malaria continues to pose a major threat despite numerous efforts aimed at reducing its incidence and ultimately eliminating the disease. The majority of malaria cases occur in Africa. According to the World Health Organization, one of the…

Beyond insecticide treated bed nets coverage to heterogeneous human behaviors and spatial realities Open
Introduction Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are a cost-efficient prevention method used to prevent malaria, yet their use in poorly urbanized and slum areas remains low. For instance, in these areas in Accra, Ghana, less than 2% of ch…

Urbanization and malaria have a contextual relationship in endemic areas: A temporal and spatial study in Ghana Open
In West Africa, malaria is one of the leading causes of disease-induced deaths. Existing studies indicate that as urbanization increases, there is corresponding decrease in malaria prevalence. However, in malaria-endemic areas, the prevale…

Unveiling Urban Malaria Dynamics: Beyond Insecticide Treated bed nets Coverage to Heterogeneous Human Behaviors and Spatial Realities Open
Background: Despite cost efficiency, insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are still not extensively used: less than 2% of children sleep in completely functioning ITNs, and less than 40% of owners in Accra, Ghana, utilize them effectively. …

A contextual association between malaria and urbanization: Temporal and spatial analysis in Ghana Open
In West Africa, malaria is a leading cause of disease-induced fatalities. While it is generally thought that urbanization reduces malaria incidence, the relationship between urbanicity, i.e., the impact of living in urban areas, and transm…

Emerging properties of malaria transmission and persistence in urban Accra, Ghana: evidence from a participatory system approach Open
Background Several studies that aim to enhance the understanding of malaria transmission and persistence in urban settings failed to address its underlining complexity. This study aims at doing that by applying qualitative and participator…
