The paper identifies gaps in genomic surveillance of West Nile Virus in Africa and proposes strategies to improve public health response.

The paper develops an Oxford Nanopore Technology-based protocol for HBV sequencing to improve genomic surveillance in clinical settings, generating full-genome sequences and detailed intra-patient diversity data.

This study analyzes SARS-CoV-2 genomic data from Ethiopia to understand its introduction, spread, and evolution during the first four waves of the pandemic.

This study uses genomic data from 8746 SARS-CoV-2 genomes across 33 African countries to show that most epidemics were initiated by European importations and later driven by local transmission and mobility, leading to the spread of variants of concern.
