Anopheles sampling collections in the health districts of Korhogo (Côte d’Ivoire) and Diébougou (Burkina Faso) between 2016 and 2018
No full textCharacterizing the entomological profile of malaria transmission at fine spatiotemporal scales is essential for developing and implementing effective vector control strategies. Here, we present a fine-grained dataset of Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes resulting from a series of collections in 55 villages of the rural districts of Korhogo (Northern Côte d'Ivoire) and Diébougou (South-West Burkina Faso) between 2016 and 2018. In the framework of a randomized controlled trial, Anopheles mosquitoes have been periodically collected by Human Landing Catch inside and outside households, and analyzed individually to identify genus and - for a subsample - species, insecticide resistance genetic mutations, plasmodium falciparum infection using molecular tools, and parity status. Overall, more than 3000 human-nights of collection were performed, representing a total sampling effort of approximately 45000 hours. More than 60000 anopheles were collected (mainly An. gambiae s.s., An. coluzzii, and An. funestus). The data are published as a Darwin Core archive in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility - France, comprising 4 files (events, occurrences, mosquito characterizations, and environmental data)

Ukuhlanganiswa kwezinsizakalo zephika (HTN), ukuyingozi ehamba phambili ekutholeni i-CVD, emitholampilo ye-HIV kuyanconywa e-Uganda. Umsebenzi wethu wangaphambili ubonise izikhala eziningi ekusetshenzisweni kokunakekelwa okudidiyelwe kwe-HTN ekulashweni kwe-HIV.

Migration Of Health/Social Workers From Zimbabwe To The United Kingdom: Prospects And Challenges
No full textRecent decades have witnessed the mass movement of social and health workers from Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Zimbabwe, to the United Kingdom (UK). This study focused on the development of social work in Zimbabwe, which, like in other African countries, has been attributed to colonial roots. The role of social worker through advocacy on behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS and vulnerable groups, has been spelt out. By employing a qualitative approach using questionnaires and interview guides, this study explored the factors contributing to the migration of social worker to the United Kingdom (UK). Participants indicated high costs of living, political instability, poor health services and costly health care as the main reasons for migration of Zimbabwean social workers to the UK. Improved standard of living, improved health care, competitive income and favourable political climate, were noted as the factors which have attracted the mass movement of social and health workers from Zimbabwe to the UK. However, the study revealed that some social workers who intend to migrate to UK were not aware of the risks associated with immigrants

The world is coming to an end! COVID-19, depression, and anxiety among adolescents in Malawi
Full text linkIntroduction: This paper assessed the effects of Covid-19 on adolescent mental health in Malawi. There is minimal research on adolescent mental health in Africa, Malawi in particular. The study shows a link between the pandemic and mental health. Some factors that may have contributed to this link include; Covid-19 preventive measures, media exposure and the increase in unemployment.
Methods: The study used a mixed methods approach, quantitative and qualitative methods. It was conducted in Malawi's four districts (Blantyre, Mangochi, Lilongwe and Karonga).
Results: Overall 22%, 21%, and 23% of the respondents had depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, respectively. The Chi-square test showed that significantly more adolescents with secondary education (28%) had anxiety than those with primary education (14%). Further, regression analysis revealed that adolescents with anxiety were 18 [95%CI: 9.34, 35.8] times more likely to have depression compared to those who did not have anxiety. The study found no significant differences in the proportions of adolescents with the three outcomes when comparing different groups within the explanatory variable. The ratio of female and male adolescents with depression and anxiety was the same.
Discussion: The adolescents expressed that Covid-19 affected their social, academic, and financial status. These effects had a significant bearing on their mental health in that they led to depression, anxiety, fear of the unknown, and stress. During the Covid-19 pandemic, adolescents' mental health diminished and posed a considerable risk to productivity of adolescents. As a result, adolescents may not fully realize their potential, form and maintain good relationships, contribute to their community and become resilient. These effects have devastating consequences for this young generation without proper coping strategies.This study was carried out under the COVID-19 Africa Rapid Grant Fund, supported under the auspices of the Science Granting Councils Initiative in Sub-Saharan Africa (SGCI) and administered by South Africa's National Research Foundation (NRF) in collaboration with Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), South Africa's Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), the Fonds de Recherche du Quebec (FRQ), the United Kingdom's Department of International Development (DFID), United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Newton Fund, and the SGCI participating councils across 15 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa
