COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES REGARDING ANTIMICROBIAL USE AND RESISTANCE AMONG CATTLE FARMERS UNDER EXTENSIVE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS IN KOINADUGU AND FALABA DISTRICTS, SIERRA LEONE

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens animal health and food safety, yet evidence on livestock farmers’ antimicrobial use in Sierra Leone remains limited. This study compared knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding antimicrobial use and AMR among cattle farmers in e...

Assessment of Anthropometric Indicators of Maternal Malnutrition among Pregnant Women in Nongowa Chiefdom, Kenema District, Sierra Leone

Maternal malnutrition remains a major public-health concern in Sierra Leone, yet community-level evidence based on objective anthropometric measurement is scarce. This study assessed anthropometric indicators of maternal malnutrition among pregnant women attending antenatal care...

Integrating gut physicochemical gradients and mobile genetic element dynamics to decipher horizontal gene transfer in termite microbiomes

Abstract Mobile genetic elements drive horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which may have contributed to the functional diversity of termite gut microbiomes, although the environmental determinants of these processes remain poorly understood. Our proposed model integrates spatially r...
