Strengthening and expanding capacities in clinical trials: advancing pandemic prevention, preparedness and response in Africa

Enhancing the clinical trial capabilities within Africa is essential to augment the continent’s pandemic prevention, preparedness and response efforts. Here, we describe the critical challenges of clinical trials in Africa and draw upon the lessons learnt from the Consortium for COVID-19 Vaccine Clinical Trials (CONCVACT) experience, such as the importance of regional collaboration, capacity building and establishing standardized protocols.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineage 4 comprises globally distributed and geographically restricted sublineages

Sebastien Gagneux and colleagues analyze a global collection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates to classify sublineages by phylogeography. They find globally distributed ‘generalist’ and geographically restricted ‘specialist’ sublineages of lineage 4, indicating that different evolutionary strategies were adopted to succeed in various ecological niches.
