Systematic review and meta-analysis of integrated studies on antimicrobial resistance genes in Africa - a One Health perspective (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) raises serious health and financial concerns. However, the main drivers of the emergence, spread and subsequent colonization of resistant bacteria
System thinking and citizen participation is still missing in One Health initiatives - lessons from fifteen evaluations (Publications)
Tackling complex public health challenges requires integrated approaches to health, such as One Health (OH). A key element of these approaches is the integration of knowledge across sectors, disciplin
A review of the frequencies of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> Kelch 13 artemisinin resistance mutations in Africa (Publications)
Artemisinin resistance (AR) emerged in South East Asia 13 years ago and the identification of the resistance conferring molecular marker, Plasmodium falciparum Kelch 13 (Pfk13), 7 years ago has provid
Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields: comparison of exposimeters with a novel body-worn distributed meter (Publications)
Background: Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) is often measured with personal exposimeters, but the accuracy of measurements can be hampered as carrying the devices on-body ma
