BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance has expanded faster than any other component of the global response, yet resistance continues to rise. In a growing number of settings, the principal constraint is the failure to translate available data into action, a disconnect we describe as the Surveillance-to-Stewardship (S2S) Gap. OBJECTIVES: To define the S2S Gap and its component gaps, examine where it binds across health …

Global genomic surveillance has emerged as a foundational pillar of public health in the twenty-first century, enabling real-time tracking of pathogen evolution and informing outbreak response. This chapter examines the strategic architecture of global genomic surveillance, focusing on its application to arboviruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It explores the integration of genomic data with epidemiological, clinical, and enviro…

INTRODUCTION: Cryptosporidium spp. are enteric protozoan parasites of public health importance, particularly in low-resource settings where humans, animals and environmental water sources frequently interact. This study investigated the prevalence, molecular diversity and environmental exposure-related variables in relation to Cryptosporidium infection in a rural community. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using 180 faeca…

BACKGROUND: Mountain gorillas are endangered primates that share approximately 99% of their DNA with humans. Consequently, they may be susceptible to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Understanding the burden of infection of human populations in the surroundings of these endangered species is critical to assess the potential risk of spi…
