The COVID-19 pandemic and disruptions to essential health services in Kenya: a retrospective time-series analysis
Lancet Glob Health. 2022 Sep;10(9):e1257-e1267. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(22)00285-6.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Public health emergencies can disrupt the provision of and access to essential health-care services, exacerbating health crises. We aimed to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on essential health-care services in Kenya.METHODS: Using county-level data routinely collected from the health information system from health facilities across the country, we used a robust mixed-effect model to examine changes in 17 indicators of essential health services across four periods: the pre-pandemic period (from January, 2018 to ...

The logic of virus evolution
Cell Host Microbe. 2022 Jul 13;30(7):917-929. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2022.06.008.ABSTRACTViruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Despite their dependence on host cells, viruses are evolutionarily autonomous, with their own genomes and evolutionary trajectories locked in arms races with the hosts. Here, we discuss a simple functional logic to explain virus macroevolution that appears to define the course of virus evolution. A small core of virus hallmark genes that are responsible for genome replication apparently descended from primordial replicators, whereas most virus genes, starting with those encoding capsid protein...
