They live throughout sub-Saharan Africa – the continent has several different populations and five subspecies in total. The dogs are slim and tall in comparison to other canines, with extremely large rounded ears and distinctive colouration. Generally they have yellow and black mottled fur with ...
60 yr, however, the continent’s human population has expanded rapidly10, driving widespread land conversion and habitat degradation, and creating areas where cumulative human impacts on threatened raptors are especially acute9. Sub-Saharan Africa lost almost 5 million ha of forest and non-forest...
However, the extensive variability means that a model developed for one African region may not generalise across the continent. Also, despite using a nested tenfold CV to reduce overfitting, validation in an appropriate continental African dataset was not possible given the scarcity of such cohorts....
As factors such as allele frequency and effect size could strongly influence the detection of a signal in a GWAS, we performed an in-depth comparison of effect sizes and MAFs of association signals detected in our study in the Eastern, Western and Southern African subsets of our cohort and fo...
Full size image There are other poorly understood factors related to COVID-19 incidence, mortality, and distribution within the African continent. For example, during the study period, December 2020 to December 2021, almost half (48%) of the COVID-19 cases reported to WHO from the African co...
Africa is a continent of wonders – natural and human alike. From such an extraordinary array of offerings, one might be hard-pressed to select the ultimate bucket-list of African wildlife experiences, but that is precisely what we have put our minds together to produce. ...
Despite some national studies in various parts of the continent, there is no systematic review and meta-analysis study done on FM among newborns in Africa. The prevalence of FM varied significantly throughout these country-wide investigations. Hence, the current study was devoted to performing a ...
(AfDB 2011). The large size of the private sector implies that its neglect will greatly slow growth and development on the continent, thus compromising the achievement ofsustainable development goals(SDGs). Therefore, more attention should be paid to the private sector in terms of infrastructure ...

The African continent is regarded as the cradle of modern humans and African genomes contain more genetic variation than those from any other continent, yet only a fraction of the genetic diversity among African individuals has been surveyed1. Here we performed whole-genome sequencing analyses of 42...
