Pandemic Preparedness

The Growing Threat of Future Pandemics

By 2050, nearly 70% of the world’s population is expected to live in urban areas, dramatically increasing the risk of rapid disease transmission and the potential for outbreaks to evolve into pandemics. Africa has experienced this firsthand with diseases like Ebola, Lassa fever, Flaviviridae viruses (including yellow fever, West Nile, Dengue, and Zika), COVID-19, and now the emerging threat of monkeypox. These recurring health crises underscore the urgent need for robust local diagnostic solutions to manage and contain future pandemics.

Animal and Plant Disease Surveillance & Diagnostics

At Ecochest Biosciences, we prioritize not only human health but also the detection of agricultural animal and plant diseases. This includes critical threats like swine flu, avian flu, and plant diseases. For example, Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus Disease (CSSVD) has plagued the Ghanaian cocoa industry since 1936, causing up to an 80% reduction in cocoa yields and killing millions of cocoa trees. Despite efforts to control the spread by cutting and replanting affected farms, the disease continues to threaten Ghana’s cocoa economy. Our advanced diagnostic kits aim to provide faster, more effective detection and response, helping safeguard vital agricultural sectors.
