House modifications using insecticide-treated screening of eave and window as a vector control tool: evidence from a semi-field system in Tanzania and simulated epidemiological impact

Olukayode G. Odufuwa, Richard J. Sheppard, Safina Ngonyani, Ahmadi Bakari Mpelepele et autres

BACKGROUND: Gaps in unimproved house structures, especially in eaves and windows, allow mosquito entry, increasing indoor vector-borne disease transmission. Simple modifications to such houses may reduce human exposure, and insecticide treatment may kill mosquitoes, benefiting all community members. This study evaluated insecticide-treated …

Integrating parallel Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria models in a unified framework to capture co-endemic prevalence patterns

Richard J. Sheppard, Giovanni D. Charles, Constanze Ciavarella, Nora Schmit et autres

Abstract Background Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause most malaria cases worldwide and are co-endemic in many countries, yet differ substantially in biology and in their responses to common interventions. As programmes drive down P. falciparum , P. vivax is a growing …

A systematic review of Nipah virus disease epidemiological parameters, outbreaks and mathematical models

Tristan M. Naidoo, Christian Morgenstern, Patrick Doohan, Rhys Earl et autres

Abstract We conducted a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023393345) characterising the epidemiology, outbreaks and mathematical models of Nipah virus (NiV), an important public health threat in South and Southeast Asia. We extracted 243 parameters, 89 risk factors, 39 models and 23 distinct outbreaks …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) mathematical models and disease parameters: a systematic review

Christian Morgenstern, Thomas Rawson, Isobel Routledge, Mara D. Kont et autres

SARS-CoV-1 was the first documented coronavirus to cause an acute epidemic in humans and remains a priority pathogen owing to the risk of re-emergence. Robust estimates of key epidemiological parameters are essential to guide outbreak responses and inform mathematical models. Existing systematic …

A systematic review of Zika virus disease: epidemiological parameters, mathematical models, and outbreaks

Kelly McCain, Anna Vicco, Christian Morgenstern, Thomas Rawson et autres

Abstract Background Zika virus (ZIKV) is an Aedes-borne arbovirus that can cause serious risks of neurological complications and birth defects in newborns of mothers infected during pregnancy. ZIKV is classified as a priority pathogen by the World Health Organization. Methods We conducted …

Quantifying conjugation rates in clinical and environmental matrices: a systematic review to inform risk assessment

Hunter Quon, Lucia Ramirez, Blakeley Bagwell, Jennifer Moralez et autres

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major public health concern and challenge. The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) between bacteria and the movement of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) between human, environmental, and animal reservoirs allows AMR to spread and drive …

Lassa fever outbreaks, mathematical models, and disease parameters: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Patrick Doohan, David W. Jorgensen, Tristan Naidoo, Kelly McCain et autres

Background Understanding the epidemiological parameters and transmission dynamics of Lassa fever, a significant public health threat in west Africa caused by the rodent-borne Lassa virus, is crucial for informing evidence-based interventions and outbreak response strategies. Therefore, our study aimed to collate and …

Christian Morgenstern, Thomas Rawson, Isobel Routledge, Mara D. Kont et autres

Abstract We conducted a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023393345) of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) transmission models and parameters characterising its transmission, evolution, natural history, severity, risk factors and seroprevalence. Information was extracted using a custom database and quality assessment tool. We extracted …

Placental senescence pathophysiology is shared between peripartum cardiomyopathy and preeclampsia in mouse and human

Jason D. Roh, Claire Castro, Andy Yu, Sarosh Rana et autres

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an idiopathic form of pregnancy-induced heart failure associated with preeclampsia. Circulating factors in late pregnancy are thought to contribute to both diseases, suggesting a common underlying pathophysiological process. However, what drives this process remains unclear. Using serum proteomics, …
