Genomic and transmission dynamics of the 2024 Marburg virus outbreak in Rwanda

Yvan Butera, Léon Mutesa, Edyth Parker, Raissa Muvunyi et autres

The ongoing outbreak of Marburg virus disease in Rwanda marks the third largest historically, although it has shown the lowest fatality rate. Genomic analysis of samples from 18 cases identified a lineage with limited internal diversity, closely related to a 2014 Ugandan …

Genomic characterization uncovers transmission dynamics of Marburg Virus in Rwanda following a single zoonotic spillover event

Yvan Butera, Léon Mutesa, Edyth Parker, Raissa Muvunyi et autres

Abstract The ongoing outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD) in Rwanda marks the third largest historically, though it has exhibited the lowest fatality rate. Genomic analysis has identified a lineage with limited internal diversity most closely related to a genome sequence from …

Regional Evaluation of Two SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Tests in East Africa

Muna Affara, Hakim Idris Lagu, Emmanuel Achol, Neema Omari et autres

Accurate diagnostic tests are essential to both support the management and containment of outbreaks, as well as inform appropriate patient care. In the case of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, antigen Rapid Diagnostic Tests (Ag-RDTs) played a major role in this function, enabling widespread …

Genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in Rwanda reveals the importance of incoming travelers on lineage diversity

Yvan Butera, Enatha Mukantwari, Maria Artesi, Jeanne d’Arc Umuringa et autres

COVID-19 transmission rates are often linked to locally circulating strains of SARS-CoV-2. Here we describe 203 SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequences analyzed from strains circulating in Rwanda from May 2020 to February 2021. In particular, we report a shift in variant distribution towards …

The East African Community (EAC) mobile laboratory networks in Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan—from project implementation to outbreak response against Dengue, Ebola, COVID-19, and epidemic-prone diseases

Muna Affara, Hakim Idris Lagu, Emmanuel Achol, Richard Karamagi et autres

BACKGROUND: East Africa is home to 170 million people and prone to frequent outbreaks of viral haemorrhagic fevers and various bacterial diseases. A major challenge is that epidemics mostly happen in remote areas, where infrastructure for Biosecurity Level (BSL) 3/4 laboratory capacity …

Genomic Sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in Rwanda: evolution and regional dynamics

Yvan Butera, Enatha Mukantwari, Maria Artesi, Jeanne d’Arc Umuringa et autres

Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), is a single-stranded positive-sense ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus that typically undergoes one to two single nucleotide mutations per month. COVID-19 continues to spread globally, with case fatality …

The national burden of influenza‐associated severe acute respiratory illness hospitalization in Rwanda, 2012‐2014

José Nyamusore, Joseph Rukelibuga, Mwumvaneza Mutagoma, Andrew Muhire et autres

BACKGROUND: Estimates of influenza-associated hospitalization are limited in low- and middle-income countries, especially in Africa. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the national number of influenza-associated severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) hospitalization in Zambia. METHODS: We conducted active prospective hospital-based surveillance for SARI at the …
