This study investigates genomic diversity of Bacillus anthracis in northern Tanzania using traditional and culture-free sequencing, finding high strain diversity and limited host-specific clustering.

The paper quantifies proteins and post-translational modifications in dried blood from sepsis patients in Tanzania, revealing proteome signatures of inflammation and correlations with clinical markers.

The paper investigates causes of livestock abortion in Tanzania using a cohort study and serosurveillance, identifying several infectious agents associated with abortions.

This study evaluates target-enrichment sequencing for generating genomic data from difficult-to-culture bacteria, showing it can produce high-quality data with sufficient coverage for variant calling.

This study analyzes the population genomics of Bacillus anthracis in Tanzania, revealing unexpected within-host diversity and transmission patterns influenced by livestock movements.

The paper classifies livestock production systems in northern Tanzania using quantitative methods and finds three distinct clusters corresponding to traditional pastoral, agro-pastoral, and smallholder systems, with notable shifts toward crop agriculture.
