Yet, what is the role of NGOs in the fight against AMR, and how can they contribute to AMR data collection in contexts where reporting is ...
Travel-related infections presenting in Europe: a 20-year analysis of EuroTravNet surveillance data Institute of Tropical Medicine

Malaria micro-stratification using routine surveillance data in Western Kenya Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: There is an increasing need for finer spatial resolution data on malaria risk to provide micro-stratification to guide sub-national strategic plans. Here, spatial-statistical techniques are used to exploit routine data to depict sub-national heterogeneities in test positivity rate (TPR) for malaria among patients attending health facilities in Kenya.
METHODS: Routine data from health facilities (n = 1804) representing all ...
