Global Funds: Entomological investigations and stakeholder perspectives to support introduction of dual active ingredient ITNs into the wider vector control space

Projects

Randomised cluster control trials conducted in Benin and Tanzania provide compelling evidence of the epidemiological impact of using dual active ingredient insecticide-treated nets (dual AI ITNs) treated with chlorfenapyr (CFP) and alpha-cypermethrin in malaria control . The results of these trials indicate that the public health value of dual AI ITNs significantly exceeds that of…

Predicting Drug-Resistant Bacterial Dynamics in Maternity Wards of Burkina Faso and Cameroon under Climate Change: A Precision Public Health Study

Projects

This study investigates the link between climate variations and the dynamics of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in maternity wards in Burkina Faso and Cameroon. Focusing on antibiotic-resistant pathogens such as Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the research aims to mitigate their adverse effects on maternal and neonatal health. Through comprehensive sampling, whole-genome sequencing, and analysis of environmental factors such…
