Acute febrile illness surveillance using TaqMan Array Cards in two urban health facilities, Monrovia, Liberia, December 2018–March 2020

This is the first laboratory evidence of dengue and rickettsial disease in humans in Liberia. Liberia's incipient AFI platform was successful exploring causes of fever in emerging infections and detected circulating pathogens beyond malaria. AFI surveillance data can assist in the prioritization of public health diagnostic and clinical capabilities to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious disease threats in Liberia.
