Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with short-term temperature variability from 2000-19: a three-stage modelling study (Publications)
associated with temperature variability, global gridded temperature data with a resolution of 0.5 degrees x 0.5 degrees were used to assess the temperature variability-related mortality burden at the global [...] assess the global temperature variability-related mortality burden at a spatial resolution of 0.5 degrees x 0.5 degrees from 2000-19. Temperature variability was calculated as the SD of the average of the [...] mortality increased by about 4.6% (3.7-5.3) per decade. The largest increase...
Sero-prevalence of brucellosis, Q-fever and Rift Valley fever in humans and livestock in Somali Region, Ethiopia (Publications)
individual seropositivity of Q-fever in livestock was 9.6% (95% CI 5.9-15.1) in cattle, 55.7% (95% CI 46.0-65.0) in camels, 48.8% (95% CI 42.5-55.0) in goats, and 28.9% (95% CI 25.0-33.2) in sheep. In humans [...] brucellosis by iELISA. The individual seroprevalence of brucellosis was 2.8(0.9-6.4) in humans, 1.5% (95% CI 0.2-5.2) in cattle and 0.6% (95% CI 0.0-3.2) in camels. This study showed the importance of zoonoses [...] 0% (95% CI 20.4-34.0), with prevalence in males of 28.9% vs 24.2% in...

Modelling the relationship between malaria prevalence as a measure of transmission and mortality across age groups (Publications)

RESULTS: Using 5-year aggregated data, associations [...] mortality across age groups over 4 to 5 year periods with clinical malaria more strongly associated with mortality than parasite prevalence. This effect was stronger in children 5-14 years compared to other age-groups [...] prevalence (PP) and clinical malaria (parasites plus reported...
