term community building around IMIS, which is presently implemented in three countries (Tanzania, Cameroon, and Nepal). Objectives and Aims The main objective of the project is to increase technical capacity
Whole genome sequencing and spatial analysis identifies recent tuberculosis transmission hotspots in Ghana (Publications)
Recent tuberculosis (TB) transmission was estimated as 24.7%. We confirmed the wide spread of a Cameroon sub-lineage clone with a cluster size of 78 genomes predominantly from the Ablekuma sub-district
Genotypic diversity and drug susceptibility patterns among <em>M. tuberculosis</em> complex isolates from south-western Ghana (Publications)
these, 130 (80.25%) were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensu stricto (MTBss), with the Cameroon sub-lineage being dominant (N = 59/130, 45.38%). Thirty-two (19.75%) isolates were classified as

Phase change material for thermotherapy of Buruli ulcer: a prospective observational single centre proof-of-principle trial (Publications)
INCIPAL FINDINGS: In a prospective observational single centre proof-of-principle trial in Ayos/Cameroon, six laboratory reconfirmed patients with ulcerative Buruli lesions received 28-31 (ulcers 2 cm)

period of more than two years at a water contact location of BU patients in an endemic village of Cameroon. At defined positions in a shallow water hole used by the villagers for washing and bathing, detritus
Local heat application for the treatment of Buruli ulcer: results of a phase II open label single center non comparative clinical trial (Publications)
open label single center non comparative clinical trial (ISRCTN 72102977) under GCP standards in Cameroon, laboratory confirmed BU patients received up to 8 weeks of heat treatment. We assessed efficacy
