Persistent circulation of Rift Valley fever virus lineage C in Rwanda, 2022-2025
Rwanda has experienced recurrent Rift Valley fever virus outbreaks in the last decade. In this study, we investigated whether these outbreaks resulted from repeated introductions or sustained local circulation. We generated RVFV whole-genome sequences from livestock samples collected between 2022 and 2025 using Nanopore sequencing.
Still here, still queer: LGBTQ+ Pride survives Kenya cuts

The police have arrested eight students on suspicion of arson, and are investigating the cause of the fire. The school has been closed indefinitely, and the students have been evacuated to safety.
Genomic connectivity and the spread of adaptive insecticide resistance alleles in Anopheles arabiensis from East Africa
Population connectivity and adaptive gene flow in disease vectors can shape the emergence and spread of insecticide resistance, with direct implications for control strategies such as insecticide spraying or the use of bed nets for malaria control. Using whole-genome sequencing, we first resolved the geographic population structure of the major but understudied malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis, across the East African region, including the geographically diverse country of Ethiopia. We...
