Dispersal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 lineages during the first epidemic wave in New York City
(Public Library of Science, 2021)
During the first phase of the COVID-19 epidemic, New York City rapidly became the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States. While molecular phylogenetic analyses have previously highlighted multiple introductions and ...
Mathematical study of transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 with waning immunity
(AIMS Press, 2022)
The aim of this work is to provide a new mathematical model that studies transmission
dynamics of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The model ...

far ...
The evolving SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Africa: Insights from rapidly expanding genomic surveillance
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022)
Investment in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sequencing in Africa over the past year has led to a major increase in the number of sequences that have been generated and used to track the ...
Factors associated with mothers’ health care‑seeking behaviours for childhood fever in Burkina Faso: Findings from repeated cross‑sectional household surveys
(BMC, 2022)
Fever is one of the most frequent reasons for paediatric consultations in Burkina Faso, but health careseeking
behaviours and the factors associated with health care-seeking in the event of childhood fever are poorly
documented. ...
