   Opportunities for improved surveillance and control of dengue from age-specific case data

   Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer et al.

   Age-specific incidence data, combined with mechanistic models of immunity, provides a unique opportunity to characterize disease transmission of dengue and other immunizing diseases at high temporal and spatial resolution.

   Impact of seasonal variations in Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission on the surveillance of pfhrp2 gene deletions

   Oliver John Watson et al.

   The timing of surveillance for pfhrp2/3-deletions within a transmission season impacts estimates of the proportion of false-negative RDTs due to deletions, which may cause premature decisions to change RDT.

   Estimating the burden of α-thalassaemia in Thailand using a comprehensive prevalence database for Southeast Asia

   Carinna Hockham et al.

   The incorporation of as yet underused local epidemiological data on α-thalassaemia in Southeast Asia within a geostatistical model suggests that the burden of severe α-thalassaemia forms may have been underestimated.

   Nationally-representative serostudy of dengue in Bangladesh allows generalizable disease burden estimates

   Henrik Salje et al.

   To maximize broad insight on disease burden, seroprevalence studies should be generalizable to the wider population, both in age and location.

    Comprehensive mapping of adaptation of the avian influenza polymerase protein PB2 to humans

    YQ Shirleen Soh et al.

    Complete mapping of human-adaptive mutations to the avian influenza PB2 protein shows how selection at key molecular interfaces combines with evolutionary accessibility to shape viral host adaptation.
