The south Congo Basin was critical to Bantu settlement of south central Africa

Jérémy Choin, Kathryn M. de Luna, Jeffrey Fleisher, Elizabeth Sawchuk et autres

Abstract South central Africa, between the Congo Basin, the Great Lakes, and southern Africa, has long served as a corridor for human movement. Yet, it remains unclear whether there is genetic continuity between pre-Iron Age foragers and later Bantu-associated populations and whether …

Identifying populations with high prevalence of non-malarial febrile illnesses across different demographic groups in Malawi

Peter Austin Morton Ntenda, David Matiya, Precious Kondwani Majoni, Rex Barnett Mbewe et autres

BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a major cause of febrile illness in Malawi; however, the epidemiology of non-malarial febrile illnesses (NMFIs) is less well characterized. Understanding the distribution and determinants of NMFIs across demographic groups is essential for improving case management in malaria-endemic settings. …

Barriers and facilitators in treatment seeking for children under-five years suffering from diarrhoea diseases: a qualitative research in an urban high-density township in Blantyre, Malawi

Steven Sabola, Mackwellings Phiri, Deborah Nyirenda, Chisomo Msefula et autres

Background Early detection and treatment of childhood infections are crucial for preventing disease progression and reducing mortality among children under five years of age. However, evidence shows that only about 46% of Malawian caregivers seek prompt medical care for childhood illnesses such …

Cropping systems and field margin vegetation shape hoverfly-mediated control of bean aphids in smallholder farming systems

Yamikani Kaliwo, Ellen Kumchenga, Yolice L.B Tembo, Trust K. Donga et autres

Hoverflies (Syrphidae) are important biological control agents in agriculture because their larvae prey on soft bodied insects such as aphids, while adults also contribute to crop pollination. In many smallholder farming areas, the prevalent hoverfly species are not well-described, nor are the …

Long distance trade of copper ingots from the eastern Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo) to central Malawi

Jay Stephens, Virginie Renson, David Killick, Potiphar Kaliba et autres

In 1967 a hoard of eight X-shaped copper ingots was discovered in the village of Chombe, in central Malawi. These are all of the HXR ingot type, of which several hundred examples have been found in Zambia and Zimbabwe. They are thought …

Relationships between infection, inflammation and biomarkers of micronutrient among school-age children in Malawi

Peter Austin Morton Ntenda, Walaa M R El-Meidany, Rex B. Mbewe, Fentanesh Nibret Tiruneh

BACKGROUND: Micronutrient deficiencies in vitamin A, iron and zinc continue to threaten the growth, immunity and cognitive development of school-age children (SAC) in low- and middle-income countries. However, infection-related distortion of micronutrient biomarkers and limited evidence leave the burden and determinants in …

Enamel carbon and oxygen isotope values provide evidence of 22,000 years of shifting precipitation seasonality in Malawi

Alex Bertacchi, Jordan A.G. Wostbrock, Ruoyang Tu, Stanley Ambrose et autres

The Zambezian Biome, located between equatorial and southern Africa, is an important region for the study of biogeography and human evolution. Reconstructing Quaternary environmental conditions in the region has been challenging because the basin’s paleoenvironmental record is not clearly in-phase with either …

Spectral interpolation in semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian methods for shallow water equations on the sphere

Michael Chiwere, Daniel Fortunato, Grady B. Wright

Semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian (SISL) methods are commonly used for the shallow water equations (SWE) because they allow for larger time steps than those permitted by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) stability condition in Eulerian schemes. In these methods, the semi-Lagrangian treatment of advection is typically …

Analysis of rpoB mutations associated with rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Malawi

Stewart Soko, Pizga Kumwenda

BACKGROUND: Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) remains a major challenge for TB control in Malawi, particularly in densely populated districts such as Blantyre. Most rifampicin resistance is caused by mutations in the rifampicin resistance determining region (RRDR) of the RNA Polymerase Beta gene (rpoB). …

Challenges and suffering of people with advanced illness in rural Nepal: a mixed method multiple case study in four municipalities

Arati Poudel, Daniel Munday, Sunita Bhandari, Adipti Pantha et autres

BACKGROUND: Nepal is experiencing increasing need for palliative care through the rising prevalence of non-communicable disease and an aging population. Most people live in rural areas where access to healthcare is limited. This study explores experiences of suffering and health seeking behaviour …
