The authors review available data on the distribution of yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika in Africa, their Aedes vectors, transmission potential, and challenges and opportunities for Aedes control. They identify key knowledge gaps and future research areas, and in particular, highlight the need to improve knowledge of the distribution of disease, major vectors, and insecticide resistance.

This course aims to give researchers and members of ethics committees confidence in thinking through the challenges of carrying out research with children and young people. The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has explored these issues through an expert Working Party, supported by a stakeholder group involving young people and parents.
This three module course communicates the methodology of maternal, fetal and newborn growth monitoring and the application of the INTERGROWTH-21st international growth standards to make judgement about appropriateness of growth. In response to the need for guidance on the correct measurement technique for newborn head circumference and an international prescriptive standard for comparisons, with the ongoing ZIKA virus infection, the first module “Assessing newborn size by anthropometry” has been published earlier than the remaining two modules.
This course is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
