Harnessing Genomic and Bioinformatics for Surveillance of Pathogens in Africa: A Scoping Review of Existing Training and Gaps in Training

2025-12-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background</bold> : Pathogen surveillance is vital for managing infectious diseases in Africa, where high disease burdens necessitate advanced tools like genomics and bioinformatics. While these technologies enable early detection, resistance monitoring, and targeted interventions, yet their adoption is hindered by limited training and educational resources. This scoping review...
