Modeling climate-driven changes in potential zoonotic virus density across Australia

Maryam Golchin, Justin Sexton, Roslyn Hickson

Over 70% of emerging infectious diseases originate from zoonotic sources, making spillover risk prediction important for public health preparedness. This study investigates how potential zoonotic virus density (PVD) may change across Australia in 2050 under climate change. PVD captures ecological hazard, while …

Japanese Encephalitis Virus Sylvatic co-occurrence probabilities under a changing climate

Justin Sexton, Maryam Golchin, Andrew J. Hoskins, Roslyn I. Hickson

Japanese Encephalitis is a growing concern in Australia. This follows the first outbreak of cases of the tropical disease in southern Australia in 2022. The sylvatic cycle of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) includes waterbirds as reservoir hosts and mosquito vectors. The human …

Investigating linkages between human movement and meteorological variables on dengue outbreaks in the Pacific Islands

Justin Sexton, Tanya L. Russell, Thomas R. Burkot, Adam T. Craig et autres

The Pacific Island Countries and territories (PICs) experienced a doubling of annual reported dengue outbreaks between 2012 to 2019, including concurrent outbreaks of multiple dengue serotypes. This has major health implications for the region as reinfection can lead to more serious health …

Face mask mandates alter major determinants of adherence to protective health behaviours in Australia

Matthew Ryan, Jian-Gang Ye, Justin Sexton, Roslyn I. Hickson et autres

Face mask wearing is a protective health behaviour that helps mitigate the spread of infectious diseases such as influenza and COVID-19. Understanding predictors of face mask wearing can help refine public health messaging and policy in future pandemics. Government mandates influence face …

Bayesian spatio-temporal modelling of tuberculosis in Vietnam: Insights from a local-area analysis

Long Viet Bui, Romain R. Ragonnet, Angus E. Hughes, Hoa Binh Nguyen et autres

Spatial analysis and disease mapping have the potential to enhance understanding of tuberculosis (TB) dynamics, whose spatial dynamics may be complicated by the mix of short and long-range transmission and long latency periods. TB notifications in Nam Dinh Province for individuals aged …

Thermochemistry of the Mantle Transition Zone Beneath the Western Pacific

Lauren Waszek, Rashni Anandawansha, Justin Sexton, Benoît Tauzin

Abstract The Earth's mantle transition zone has significant control on material flux between upper and lower mantle, thus constraining its properties is imperative to understand dynamic processes and circulation patterns. Global seismic data sets to study the transition zone typically display highly …

Evaluating the impact of weather forecasts on productivity and environmental footprint of irrigated maize production systems

Brian Collins, Yunru Lai, Uwe Grewer, Steve Attard et autres

Integrating weather forecasts into decision support systems empowers farmers to optimise irrigation schedules, thereby boosting crop yields and conserving water. However, inaccurate forecasts can jeopardise productivity and irrigation efficiency. This study combines a crop model with a stochastic pseudo-weather forecast algorithm to: …
