    Abstract To evaluate the risk-benefits balance of the rVSV-ΔG-ZEBOV-GP vaccine. We performed a systematic review to summarize data on safety, immunogenicity and efficacy. About 17,600 adults and 234 children received 11 different doses of the V920 vaccine ranging from 3000 to 100 million and 20 million plaque-forming units, respectively, during Phase I-III clinical trials. Cases of severe but transient arthritis were reported in about six and 0.08% of vaccinees in high-income countries (HICs) and low-middle-income countries (LMICs), respectively. The 20 million plaque-forming units dose yielded GP-specific antibody titres which peaked at day 28 with a pooled geometric mean titres of 2557.7 (95% CI: 1665.5-3934.2) versus 1156.9 (95% CI: 832.5-1649.2) but with similar seroconversion rates at 96% (95% CI: 87-100) versus 100% (95% CI: 90-100) for HICs and LMICs, respectively. Data from stringent Phase I-II clinical trials in LMICs and HICs and from the ring efficacy trials yielded a good risk-benefit balance of the V920 vaccine in adults, but also in children and pregnant and lactating women and HIV-infected people.

    Abstract Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is a neglected tropical disease (NTD). Community-based studies from sub-Saharan Africa are urgently required as data on the incidence are scarce. This study aimed to determine the lifetime prevalence of snakebites in rural Gabon by preparing the conduct of a larger regional survey. A cross-sectional community-based epidemiological survey in Sindara, Ngounie province, was conducted. Households were interviewed about the history of snakebites of household members to calculate lifetime prevalence. In addition, the average annual incidence rate per 100,000 over the last 5 years was calculated. A total of 771 inhabitants were enrolled, of which 5 (0.65%; 95% confidence interval (95% CI: 0.2-1.5%)) were victims of snakebites. Over the past 5 years, annual incidence was 77 bites per 100,000 (95% CI: 0-620). This study provides a first rough estimate of the incidence of SBE from rural central Gabon, demonstrating the importance of this NTD.

    Abstract Introduction: Mansonella
    Methods: We screened individuals in the area of Fougamou, Gabon for Mansonella mono-infections and generated de novo assemblies from the respective samples. For evolutionary analysis, a phylogenetic tree was reconstructed, and the differences and divergence times are presented. In addition, mitogenomes were generated and phylogenies based on 12S rDNA and cox1 were created.
    Results: We successfully generated whole genomes for M. perstans and
    Discussion: The results presented indicate that

    Abstract Purpose: Fever is a common cause for hospitalization among the pediatric population. The spectrum of causative agents is diverse. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a ubiquitous virus that often causes hospitalization of children in western countries. Previously, we investigated the cause of fever of 600 febrile hospitalized children in Gabon, and in 91 cases the causative pathogen was not determined. In this study, we assessed HHV-6 infection as potential cause of hospitalization in this group.
    Methods: Blood samples were assessed for HHV-6 using real-time quantitative PCR. Three groups were investigated: (1) group of interest: 91 hospitalized children with febrile illness without a diagnosed causing pathogen; (2) hospitalized control: 91 age-matched children hospitalized with febrile illness with a potentially disease-causing pathogen identified; both groups were recruited at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, Gabon and (3) healthy control: 91 healthy children from the same area.
    Results: Samples from 273 children were assessed. Age range was two months to 14 years, median (IQR) age was 36 (12-71) months; 52% were female. HHV-6 was detected in 64% (58/91), 41% (37/91), and 26% (24/91) of the samples from groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively; with statistically significant odds of being infected with HHV-6 in group 1 (OR = 4.62, 95% CI [2.46, 8.90]). Only HHV-6B was detected.
    Conclusions: Although tropical diseases account for a large proportion of children's hospitalizations, considering common childhood diseases such as HHV-6 when diagnosing febrile illnesses in pediatric populations in tropical countries is of importance.

    Abstract Background: Biomedical research plays an important role in improving health. There seems to exist a negative correlation between the amount of biomedical research funding and disease burden from all Sub-Saharan African countries. In this study, we describe funding patterns for biomedical research, explore the correlation between funding and burden of diseases, and quantify inequalities in funds distribution across diseases in Gabon over the period 2005-2015.
    Methods: Data on medical research funds from 2005 to 2015 were retrieved through a structured questionnaire distributed to Gabonese biomedical research institutions and by consulting online databases. Data on the burden of diseases were gathered from the World Health Organization and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. We used Kendall rank correlation coefficient to explore the correlation between cumulative funds over time and the burden of disease. The inequality distribution of funding across diseases was assessed through Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve.
    Results: Biomedical research funding was characterized by a remarkable growth from 2005 to 2010 and a decline from 2010 to 2014. Funds were mostly from external sources and from partnerships. There was inequality in research funds allocation across diseases and malaria was far the most funded disease. There was a significant negative correlation between cumulative funding and the burden of HIV, tuberculosis, and of Helminthiasis (from 2006 to 2010) suggesting that research may be contributing to the management of such diseases. A positive, although not significant, correlation was found between cumulative funds and malaria burden.
    Conclusions: The negative correlation between HIV and tuberculosis cumulative funding and burden suggests that research may be contributing to the management of such diseases but further research is needed to assess the causal direction of such as relationship. As the burden of non-communicable diseases is increasing, more research funds should be focused on those. While research partnerships have been and will remain fundamental, Gabon should increase the amount of national funds to overcome periods of reduced research funding flows from abroad.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Global malaria elimination has little chance of success without an effective vaccine. The first malaria vaccine, RTS,S/AS01e, demonstrated moderate efficacy against clinical malaria in phase III trials and is undergoing large-scale effectiveness trials in Africa. Importantly, the vaccine did not perform equally well between phase III study sites. Though reasons for the moderate efficacy and this variation are unclear, various mechanisms have been suggested. This review summarizes the recent literature on such mechanisms, with a focus on those involving landscape ecology, parasite antigenic variation, and human host genetic differences.
    Recent findings: Transmission intensity may have a role pre- and post-vaccination in modulating immune responses to the vaccine. Furthermore, malaria incidence may "rebound" in vaccinated populations living in high transmission intensity settings. There is growing evidence that both genetic variation in the parasite circumsporozoite protein and variation of human host genetic factors affect RTS,S vaccine efficacy. These genetic factors may be interacting in complex ways to produce variation in the natural and vaccine-induced immune responses that protect against malaria.
    Summary: Due to the modest efficacy of RTS,S/AS01e, the combinations of factors (ecological, parasite, human host) impacting its effectiveness must be clearly understood, as this information will be critical for implementation policy and future vaccine designs.
