A part of the survey programme on the evaluation of environmental radioactivity in Cameroon has just been initiated. The radioactivity level of soils in a volcanic area in Cameroon was determined and discussed. 30 soils samples were collected from Buea and Limbé cities located in the south-western Cameroon. These two regions are known for theirs volcanic grounds due to the presence of Mount Cam...
The Evolution of HIV-1 Diversity in Rural Cameroon and its Implications in Vaccine Design and Trials
West-Central Africa is an epicenter of the HIV pandemic; endemic to Cameroon are HIV-1 viruses belonging to all (sub)subtypes and numerous Circulating Recombinant Forms (CRFs). The rural villages of Cameroon harbor many strains of HIV-1, though these areas are not as well monitored as the urban centers. In the present study, 82 specimens obtained in 2000 and 2001 from subjects living in the rur...
Nearly three decades after its discovery, HIV infection remains the number one killer disease in Sub- Saharan Africa where up to 67% of the world's 33 million infected people live. In Cameroon, based on a Demographic Health Survey carried out in 2004, the national HIV prevalence is estimated at 5.5% with women and youths being predominantly infected. Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) from t...
OBJECTIVE Better knowledge of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection prevalence at the national level can help to implement pertinent strategies to address HBV related burden. The aim was to estimate the seroprevalence of HBV infection in Cameroon. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. PARTICIPANTS People residing in Cameroon. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, A...
The study presents the conclusions of a survey, carried out to determine how, by means of plant recipes, the traditional healers of the South Cameroon treat uterine fibromyoma. Fibromyoma causes primary or secondary level infertility, but not sterility. The population concerned was those of the Ambam Division, South Cameroon. The study listed and studied 46 plant species belonging to 32 familie...
A deterministic model of tuberculosis without and with seasonality is designed and analyzed into its transmission dynamics. We first present and analyze a tuberculosis model without seasonality, which incorporates the essential biological and epidemiological features of the disease. The model is shown to exhibit the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, where a stable disease-free equilibrium coe...
Background. Cameroon this last decade continues to present a low contribution of M. africanum and M. bovis in human tuberculosis (TB), while M. bovis was prevalent in cattle but all these pieces of information only concerned West and Center regions. Methods. We carried out the first study in Adamaoua, one of the most rearing regions of Cameroon, on the genetic structure and drug susceptibility ...
PURPOSE The prevalence of epilepsy in Cameroon is higher than that of the industrialized world and other developing countries. Neurocysticercosis due to Taenia solium infestation has been reported as a major cause of epilepsy in some parts of Cameroon although there are some conflicting data. The prevalence of epilepsy is especially high in the Momo division of the North-West Province of Camero...
OBJECTIVE To propose two new indicators for monitoring access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); (i) the time from HIV seroconversion to ART initiation, and (ii) the time from ART eligibility to initiation, referred to as delay in ART initiation. To estimate values of these indicators in Cameroon. METHODS We used linear regression to model the natural de...
A broad and rapidly changing HIV Type 1 (HIV-1) diversity has been reported from different populations in Cameroon since the early epidemic. Our understanding of HIV-1 dynamics can be improved by a systematic surveillance in Cameroon as accessibility and use of antiretroviral drugs increase. To contribute to this, we genotyped 30 samples by sequencing the protease and reverse transcriptase (pro...
