    Estimating probabilities of malaria importation in southern Mozambique through modelling P. falciparum genomics and mobility patterns

    Arnau Pujol, Arlindo Chidimatembue ... Alfredo Mayor
    Malaria importation in Matutuine district from southern Mozambique is strongly contributing to sustaining transmission, with Inhambane province being the main source of importation.

    From multiplicity of infection to force of infection in sparsely sampled high-transmission Plasmodium falciparum populations

    Qi Zhan, Kathryn E Tiedje ... Mercedes Pascual
    Queuing theory links multiplicity of infection (MOI) to force of infection (FOI), enabling the estimation of transmission intensity for falciparum malaria (and other infectious diseases) from sparsely sampled surveys.

    Prediction of SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics based on population-level cycle threshold values: An epidemic transmission and machine learning modeling study

    Afraz Arif Khan, Hind Sbihi ... Catherine A Hogan
    Modeling approaches demonstrate utility for incidence and reproductive number prediction and have potential to complement traditional surveillance in real time to guide public health interventions.

    Rift Valley fever virus dynamics in a transhumant cattle system in The Gambia

    Essa Jarra, Divine Ekwem ... Daniel T Haydon
    Endemic Rift Valley fever virus circulation in The Gambia is driven by seasonal cattle movements and eco-region differences, highlighting livestock mobility as a key target for effective control strategies.

    Heterogeneous associations of polygenic indices of 35 traits with mortality: a register-linked population-based follow-up study

    Hannu Lahtinen, Jaakko Kaprio ... Pekka Martikainen
    Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.

    Global risk mapping of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 and H5Nx in the light of epidemic episodes occurring from 2020 onwards

    Marie-Cécile Dupas, Maria F Vincenti-Gonzalez ... Simon Dellicour
    Post-2020, highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 circulation is characterised by spatially expanded ecological suitability, changes in key environmental predictors, and a wider range of avian species affected.
