Expanding Research Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa Through Informatics, Bioinformatics, and Data Science Training Programs in Mali
Conclusion Bioinformatics and data science training programs in developing countries necessitate incremental and collaborative strategies for their feasible and sustainable development. The progress described here covered decades of collaborative efforts centered on training and research on computationally intensive topics. These efforts laid the groundwork and platforms conducive for hosting a bioinformatics and data science training program in Mali. Training programs are perhaps best facilitated through Africa’s university systems as they are perhaps best positioned to maintain core resources during lapses in sho...

Longitudinal monitoring of anti ‐saliva antibodies as markers of repellent efficacy against Phlebotomus perniciosus and Phlebotomus papatasi in dogs
Dogs naturally exposed toLeishmania vectors, the sandfliesPhlebotomus perniciosus andPhlebotomus papatasi, and treated preventively with sandfly repellents developed antibodies against the insects' salivary proteins. Anti ‐P. perniciosus and ‐P. papatasi saliva antibody concentrations were low, which suggests the repellent limited sandfly bites and is useful in canine leishmaniasis control. Longitudinal monitoring of anti ‐saliva antibodies is a good method of marking insect repellent efficacy againstP. perniciosus andP. papatasi in dogs. AbstractA 2 ‐year longitudinal study of enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (...

Assessment of the Probability of Autochthonous Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Canada under Recent and Projected Climate Change
This study identifies that southern Canada may be the very northern limit for transmission of these pathogens with climate change. Other factors need to be explored however, which include understanding when and where Canadian travelers are likely to return, infrastructure in Canada that may support vector populations in what would be expected to be climatically unsuitable regions, and whether or not there are other competent vectors in Canada. Further research to close the gap on our current understanding of CHIKV and CHIKV vectors, improved surveillance on Ae. albopictus in North America, and enhanced climate projection m...
