A series of articles that set out to explore the global distribution of infections that cause non-malarial febrile illness has been published in BMC Medicine. The series brings together the results of large-scale systematic reviews of the causes of fever in Africa, Latin America, and Southern and South-Eastern Asia, and has helped identify major knowledge gaps, geographical differences, priority areas for diagnostics research and development, and enabled the most comprehensive systematic review of literature to date.
Emerging infections
Asia has long been the source of infectious diseases that have escalated into epidemics or pandemics, notably SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. As new pandemic threats continue to arise, research at MORU focuses on genomic and immunological surveillance of emerging infections, the development and evaluation of new methods of assessing therapeutics, and their large-scale assessment in order to inform policies and practices.
