Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE), particularly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, have been consistently associated with treatment failure, high mortality and morbidity. The emergence of carbapenem resistance among ESBL-PE strains exacerbates the antimicrobial resistance. However, data are(...)

Background
Malaria remains a key contributor to mortality and morbidity across Africa, with the highest burden in children under 5. Insecticide-based vector control tools, which target the adult Anopheles mosquitoes, are the most efficacious tool in disease prevention. Due to the widespread use of these interventions, insecticide resistance t(...)

A healthy diet is essential for the prevention of certain diseases. Therefore, it is essential to test the formulation of unprocessed or minimally processed foods. The aim of this study was to formulate a soumbala-based food with high nutritional and nutraceutical potential. Despite its recognised nutritional and nutraceutical importance, the(...)

The measured changes in the levels of infant and young child feeding
interventions included in this study led to a reduction in the number of cases of
chronic malnutrition in children under 6 months of age in the second scenario
projections. However, no cases of chronic malnutrition were prevented among
children in the 6–59 month age group(...)
