Topic: Environmental drivers
Dr. Boni’s research focuses on drug-resistance management in malaria and human influenza epidemiology, seroepidemiology, and evolution. He also works actively in recombination detection and reconstructing recombination histories and in several other areas of evolutionary and social epidemiology. Please see https://mol.ax/pub for our publications and type ‘subtopic’ in the text box to focus on a particular area. Most critically, he is part of several consortia and international collaborations developing the preparations and responses to artemisinin-resistance in Africa — an urgent global health problem that affects hundreds of millions of people. Details of drug resistance to the artemisinins were made public in Aug 2020 (Rwanda) and Nov 2021 (Uganda), and this most recent article (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211803) shows that it is getting worse.
