- Ebola"Ebola virus (EBOV) was the best-known and most extensively studied member of the Filoviridae family (Mononegavirales order) long before the shattering 2013–2016 West African epidemic. The virologic taxon Filoviridae was defined in 1982 and subsequently amended regularly to accommodate changes.

- Uganda's experience in Ebola virus disease outbreak preparedness, 2018-2019"Since the declaration of the 10th Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in DRC on 1st Aug 2018, several neighboring countries have been developing and implementing preparedness efforts to prevent EVD cross-border transmission to enable timely detection, investigation, and response in the event of a confirmed EVD outbreak in the country. We describe Uganda's experience in EVD preparedness ... "
- The Ebola Epidemic : The Fight, The Future"An ordinary blue thermos holding blood samples from a sick nun in Zaire reached Belgium's Institute of Tropical Medicine in September 1976. From the samples, researchers discovered a new virus, which they named the Ebola virus after a river in Central Africa. The virus killed two hundred eighty people before it seemingly disappeared into the jungle. No one suspected the virus would erupt in West Africa nearly four decades later to cause an unprecedented epidemic ... "

Malaria
- World Malaria Report 2019On a global scale, there was exceptional headway made in reducing the burden of malaria in the period 2000–2015 – proof that progress is possible. Many countries with a low burden of malaria are moving quickly
towards elimination. However, the rate of progress has slowed in recent years, and critical targets will likely be missed. - Malaria"Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium. Human malaria is caused by four different species of Plasmodium: P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. vivax ... "

- Effects of Microclimate Condition Changes Due to Land Use and Land Cover Changes on the Survivorship of Malaria Vectors in China-Myanmar Border Region."In the past decade, developing countries have been experiencing rapid land use and land cover changes, including deforestation and cultivation of previously forested land. However, little is known about the impact of deforestation and land-use changes on the life history of malaria vectors and their effects on malaria transmission ... "
- Modelled and observed mean and seasonal relationships between climate, population density and malaria indicators in Cameroon."A major health burden in Cameroon is malaria, a disease that is sensitive to climate, environment and socio-economic conditions, but whose precise relationship with these drivers is still uncertain. An improved understanding of the relationship between the disease and its drivers, and the ability to represent these relationships in dynamic disease models, would allow such models to contribute to health mitigation and adaptation planning ...
