Ebola: Towards an International Health Systems Fund [PDF]

, 2014
The current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa is spiraling out of control, but it never had to happen. What can the international community do now to bring the epidemic under control, and how can we prevent the next one?

Deployable CRISPR-Cas13a diagnostic tools to detect and report Ebola and Lassa virus cases in real-time

Nature Communications, 2020
Recent outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), including Ebola virus disease (EVD) and Lassa fever (LF), highlight the urgent need for sensitive, deployable tests to diagnose these devastating human diseases.

Ebola and the Ophthalmologist [PDF]

Ophthalmology, 2015
The recent Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic in West Africa has captured the world’s attention. Ebola virus disease is a multisystem hemorrhagic fever with remarkably high mortality. Patients typically present with high fever and flu-like symptoms, progressing to diarrhea, vomiting, and disseminated hemorrhage with multisystem organ failure.

On the coloniality of global public health

Medicine Anthropology Theory, 2019
The continued inordinate demise from communicable pathogens in the global South is not the result of an intractable problem thwarting our best efforts to prevent and cure disease; we have the means.

Plant phenology supports the multi-emergence hypothesis for ebola spillover events [PDF]

, 2017
Ebola virus disease outbreaks in animals (including humans and great apes) start with sporadic host switches from unknown reservoir species. The factors leading to such spillover events are little explored.

Predicting and controlling the Ebola infection [PDF]

Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 40 (2017), no. 17, 6155--6164, 2015
We present a comparison between two different mathematical models used in the description of the Ebola virus propagation currently occurring in West Africa. In order to improve the prediction and the control of the propagation of the virus, numerical simulations and optimal control of the two models for Ebola are investigated.

Resurgence of Sudan Virus Disease (SUVD) in Uganda

Global Biosecurity, 2022
On September 20th, 2022, a case of ebola virus disease was confirmed in Uganda by the World Health Organization. The presumed index case of a 24-year-old male was sequenced and identified as the Sudan strain. This was the first known outbreak of ebola in
