Analyses of detailed clinical and entomological data from cohort studies reveal how anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity against P. falciparum develop as a function of age and transmission intensity.

The acquisition of immunity to malaria by an individual depends on their age and the number of infectious mosquito bites they have received.

A combination of surveillance data, paired sera and mathematical modelling reveals which factors may influence dengue transmission and control in island settings.

Associations can be mapped using k-mer frequencies in sequencing reads without prior sequencing of a reference genome enabling detection of associations to variants of multiple types and outside of the reference.

Malaria transmission between human and mosquito depends on the number of male and female gametocytes in the blood.

Combining pre-erythrocytic and transmission blocking antibodies enhances the overall control and potential elimination of malaria within both mosquito and vertebrate populations.

Natural transmission experiments should be prioritised over risky and expensive field trials, in order to establish the impact of cattle vaccination on the transmission of bovine Tuberculosis.

Predators may amplify multiple-host parasite spreading in systems with multiple transmission routes.

Analysis of a large Kenyan dataset may resolve previously conflicting studies by identifying polymorphisms which interact to modify the risk of cerebral malaria.

Three complementary computational approaches reveal a set of putative causes of initiation of pan-USA waves of influenza.
