   Is grip strength linked to body composition and cardiovascular risk markers in primary schoolchildren? Cross-sectional data from three African countries

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVES: Muscular strength represents a specific component of health-related fitness. Hand grip strength (HGS) is used as an indicator for musculoskeletal fitness in children. HGS can also be used

2. Leveraging mathematical models of disease dynamics and machine learning to improve development of novel malaria interventions (Publications)

   Leveraging mathematical models of disease dynamics and machine learning to improve development of novel malaria interventions

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Substantial research is underway to develop next-generation interventions that address current malaria control challenges. As there is limited testing in their early development, it is dif

3. Microbiological characterisation of community-acquired urinary tract infections in Bagamoyo, Tanzania: a prospective study (Publications)

   Microbiological characterisation of community-acquired urinary tract infections in Bagamoyo, Tanzania: a prospective study

   Relevance:

   Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections in sub-Saharan Africa, but microbiological data to guide treatment decisions are limited. Hence, we investigated the bacterial aeti

   Performance characteristics of next-generation sequencing for the detection of antimicrobial resistance determinants in <em>Escherichia coli </em>genomes and metagenomes

   Relevance:

   Short-read sequencing can provide detection of multiple genomic determinants of antimicrobial resistance from single bacterial genomes and metagenomic samples. Despite its increasing application in hu

5. Rethinking human resources and capacity building needs for malaria control and elimination in Africa (Publications)

   Rethinking human resources and capacity building needs for malaria control and elimination in Africa

   Relevance:

   Despite considerable success in controlling malaria worldwide, progress toward achieving malaria elimination has largely stalled. In particular, strategies to overcome roadblocks in malaria control an
