    We are facing an unprecedented pandemic. A quarter of the world's population is infected and, between 2020 and 2021, it is predicted that 10 million people will have fallen ill, 3 million will not have been diagnosed or received care, and more than 1 million—mainly the most vulnerable—will have died.1 This pandemic is not COVID-19 but tuberculosis. On World Tuberculosis Day, it is worth comparing the COVID-19 and tuberculosis pandemics to ensure that, while we focus on the former, we do not forget the latter.

    • Tuberculosis and HIV responses threatened by COVID-19 Paul Adepoju Published:April 08, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2352-3018(20)30109-0 As the first cases of COVID-19 affect Nigeria's health-care workers, will the country's HIV and tuberculosis responses weather the pandemic? Paul Adepoju reports. March 24, 2020, was World Tuberculosis Day 2020, but this year tuberculosis was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. By the end of that week, COVID-19 had already exceeded 600?000 confirmed cases and about 30?000 deaths worldwide. Before the emergence of COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern, coinfection with tuberculosis was probably the priority for HIV/AIDS control efforts in Africa.

    • SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic, is also a threat to our closest living relatives, the great apes. As leading experts in the conservation and health of these animals, we urge governments, conservation practitioners, researchers, tourism professionals and funding agencies to reduce the risk of introducing the virus into these endangered apes. They can do this by applying the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s best-practice guidelines for health monitoring and disease control in great-ape populations (see go.nature.com/3b1bq9k).
