    Data-driven identification of potential Zika virus vectors

    Michelle V Evans, Tad A Dallas ... John M Drake
    Data-driven methods predict over 35 mosquitoes are potential vectors of Zika virus, suggesting a larger geographic area and a greater human population is at risk of infection.

    Effectiveness of traveller screening for emerging pathogens is shaped by epidemiology and natural history of infection

    Katelyn M Gostic, Adam J Kucharski, James O Lloyd-Smith
    Pathogen natural history, epidemiological knowledge, human behavior and epidemic progression determine whether symptom screening and questionnaires are effective barriers to geographic spread of infection by travelers.

    Physiology and ecology combine to determine host and vector importance for Ross River virus

    Morgan P Kain, Eloise B Skinner ... Erin A Mordecai
    The role host and vector species play in pathogen transmission cycles is best quantified by integrating species' physiological and ecological competence.

    Predictors of human-infective RNA virus discovery in the United States, China, and Africa, an ecological study

    Feifei Zhang, Margo Chase-Topping ... Mark EJ Woolhouse
    In three different regions including the United States, China, and Africa, virus discoveries were strongly associated with GDP and land use, but were less likely to be associated with climate and biodiversity variables than at a global scale.

    Global variation in force-of-infection trends for human Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis

    Matthew A Dixon, Peter Winskill ... María-Gloria Basáñez
    Marked geographical heterogeneity in global Taenia solium transmission rates indicate the need for setting-specific intervention strategies to achieve the WHO NTD 2021-2030 roadmap milestones for T. solium.

    Single mosquito metatranscriptomics identifies vectors, emerging pathogens and reservoirs in one assay

    Joshua Batson, Gytis Dudas ... Hanna Retallack
    How large-scale single mosquito metatranscriptomics can define the mosquito’s complex microbiota and its blood meal sources, and contribute critical epidemiological information needed to control vector borne disease transmission, is shown.

    Utility of polygenic embryo screening for disease depends on the selection strategy

    Todd Lencz, Daniel Backenroth ... Shai Carmi
    Preimplantation screening of embryos using polygenic risk scores may substantially reduce risk for a given complex disease, but this effect depends on several quantifiable factors and raises significant ethical issues.

    Unsupervised machine learning reveals key immune cell subsets in COVID-19, rhinovirus infection, and cancer therapy

    Sierra M Barone, Alberta GA Paul ... Jonathan M Irish
    Rare, virus-specific immune cells in human blood are automatically identified by machine learning algorithm T-REX and characterized for signature features needed for tracking and isolation.
