A recent study published in African Scientific Reports combines electrical resistivity surveys, soil pH analysis, Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, and GIS modelling to assess soil corrosion susceptibility in Sabon Gida, Katsina State. Data from 44 vertical electrical sounding locations showed resistivity values ranging from 23.11 to 1779 Ωm, while soil pH ranged from 6.3 to 7.1. The integrated corrosion susceptibility map indicated that most of the area has moderate corrosion risk, although localized highly corrosive zones were identified. The findings suggest that Sabon Gida is generally suitable for buried metallic infrastructure, but site-specific investigations, direct corrosion measurements, protective coatings, cathodic protection, and routine monitoring are recommended before installation.

A recent study published in African Scientific Reports investigates leachate contamination around selected dumpsites in Calabar, Nigeria, using electrical resistivity tomography. Seven profiles were examined, with contamination identified by very low resistivity values below 10 Ωm. Leachate was detected at the Lemna, CROSPIL, and UNICROSS dumpsites, generally at depths between about 6.35 and 12.4 m, while control locations 150–170 m away showed no evidence of plume migration. The findings confirm that both active and inactive dumpsites can threaten surrounding soil and water resources. The study recommends proper treatment of groundwater before use, regular environmental monitoring, improved waste management, remediation, and stronger public awareness.

A recent study published in Journal of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences develops a 16-compartment mathematical model to examine dengue–Zika co-infection, incorporating antibody-dependent enhancement, cross-immunity, vaccination, co-infection mortality, mosquito transmission, and direct Zika transmission. Calibrated with 36 weeks of surveillance data from Espírito Santo, Brazil, the model showed that co-circulation can produce greater epidemic risk than either disease alone and that reducing the reproduction number below one may not always guarantee elimination. Mosquito biting rate and mortality emerged as the strongest control factors, with simulations showing that doubling mosquito mortality could reduce peak dengue incidence by about 120-fold. The findings support sustained vector control, improved treatment access, surveillance, and high-coverage dengue vaccination.
