Analysis of trapped mosquito excreta as a noninvasive method to reveal biodiversity and arbovirus circulation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 410-423, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Emerging and endemic mosquito‐borne viruses can be difficult to detect and monitor because they often cause asymptomatic infections in human or vertebrate animals or cause nonspecific febrile illness with a short recovery waiting period. Some of these pathogens circulate into complex cryptic cycles involving several animal species as reservoir

Residual risk of hepatitis B virus transmission through blood donations in Burkina Faso screened with rapid diagnostic tests

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 5, Issue 5, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) represent the major transfusion–transmissible pathogens worldwide. The risk of transmission is relatively high in African countries, mainly due to unreliable screening methods of blood donations.
