    Flagellar energy costs across the tree of life

    Paul E Schavemaker, Michael Lynch
    Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella follow a common trend in swimming cost-effectiveness, but eukaryotic flagella are too large for cells with prokaryote volumes, yielding insight into flagellar dissimilarity between taxa.

    Design of the HPV-automated visual evaluation (PAVE) study: Validating a novel cervical screening strategy

    Silvia de Sanjosé, Rebecca B Perkins ... Mark Schiffman
    The PAVE strategy aims to provide a cost-effective, high quality ‘Screen-Triage-Treat’ approach for cervical cancer screening to save many lives.

    Integrating contact tracing and whole-genome sequencing to track the elimination of dog-mediated rabies: An observational and genomic study

    Kennedy Lushasi, Kirstyn Brunker ... Katie Hampson
    Contact tracing data reveal how a One Health approach underpinned by dog vaccination interrupts rabies transmission in reservoir populations removing the risk to humans, while virus genome data highlight the importance of surveillance and sustained dog vaccination in connected populations.

    Meta-Research: A comprehensive review of randomized clinical trials in three medical journals reveals 396 medical reversals

    Diana Herrera-Perez, Alyson Haslam ... Vinay Prasad
    An analysis of more than 3000 randomized controlled trials published in JAMA, the Lancet and NEJM has identified 396 medical reversals.

    Energetic and physical limitations on the breaching performance of large whales

    Paolo S Segre, Jean Potvin ... Jeremy A Goldbogen
    Muscle power-generating capabilities, and not energetic limitations, limit the breaching abilities of the largest whales.

    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.

    The impact of pyrethroid resistance on the efficacy and effectiveness of bednets for malaria control in Africa

    Thomas S Churcher, Natalie Lissenden ... Hilary Ranson
    Mosquitoes with high levels of pyrethroid resistance reduce the ability of bednets to protect those using them and the wider community, which is predicted to substantially increase malaria cases.

    Effectiveness of rapid SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing in supporting infection control for hospital-onset COVID-19 infection: Multicentre, prospective study

    Oliver Stirrup, James Blackstone ... Judith Breuer
    Sequencing of viral genomes could be useful for infection prevention and control within hospitals, but did not lead to a reduction in the rate of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections over winter 2020/2021 in a large multicentre UK study.
