Expanded Program on Immunization for newborns in 2005, an HBsAg carriage rate of 5% was found in children below the age of 5 years. Of the 54 HBsAg-positive samples, 49 HBV pre-S/S sequences (7 genotype A [...] serum samples from most (401/448) of the villagers.

Drug susceptibility testing and mortality in patients treated for tuberculosis in high-burden countries: a multicentre cohort study (Publications)
patients with tuberculosis were included in this analysis; the median age was 33.2 years (IQR 26.9-42.5), 239 (38%) were women, 272 (43%) were HIV-positive, and 69 (11%) patients died. Based on the reference [...] (62%) strains were pan-susceptible, 45 (7%) monoresistant, 163 (26%) multidrug-resistant (MDR), and 30 (5%) had pre-extensively or extensively drug resistant (pre-XDR or XDR) tuberculosis. Results of reference [...] discordant for 121 (19%) of 634. Overall, sensitivity to detect any...
Prospects for dog rabies elimination in Nigeria by 2030 (Publications)

In this article, we report a [...] impossible. Nigeria's best-case scenario by the year 2030 is SARE stage 3-4 (control-elimination) out of 5. Otherwise, the rabies control programme might not surpass SARE stages 2-3. To attain zero by 30, Nigeria
