   Transmission dynamics and control of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in neonates in a developing country

   Thomas Crellen et al.

   Colonisation with resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Cambodian neonatal unit is driven by person-to-person transmission, transmissibility varies by sequence type, and antibiotic consumption generally increases the risk of acquisition.

   Development of a confinable gene drive system in the human disease vector Aedes aegypti

   Ming Li et al.

   Highly efficient and confinable split gene drives are a new tool for the control of the dengue mosquito vector.

   Improved characterisation of MRSA transmission using within-host bacterial sequence diversity

   Matthew D Hall et al.

   Reconstruction of transmission pathways of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using multiple genomes per host reveals great variation in the size of the transmission bottleneck and limited evidence for body site/phylogeny association.

   Antagonism between parasites within snail hosts impacts the transmission of human schistosomiasis

   Martina R Laidemitt et al.

   Interactions among parasites in snails create cascading effects on their transmission and highlight that biodiversity has complex, context-dependent and important effects on human schistosomiasis transmission dynamics.

   Combining genomics and epidemiology to analyse bi-directional transmission of Mycobacterium bovis in a multi-host system

   Joseph Crispell et al.

   Analyses combining genomic and epidemiological data of Mycobacterium bovis, which causes bovine tuberculosis, revealed evidence of transmission within and between cattle and badger populations.

   Risk factors for asthma among schoolchildren who participated in a case-control study in urban Uganda

   Harriet Mpairwe et al.

   Asthma risk among schoolchildren increases depending on area of residence in early life, from rural to town to city, and this risk increases further with other known risk factors.

   Linking glycemic dysregulation in diabetes to symptoms, comorbidities, and genetics through EHR data mining

   Isa Kristina Kirk et al.

   Text mining of complete EHRs for 14,017 diabetes patients and subsequent clustering led to phenotypically deep clusters, showing distinct glycemic profiles, comorbidities, and SNP association patterns.

   The mother’s risk of premature death after child loss across two centuries

   Unnur A Valdimarsdóttir et al.

   A large-scale, sibling-based analysis of the Icelandic population spanning two centuries demonstrates an increase in maternal mortality rates after child loss on both sides of a major demographic transition.

    Modeling the dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes in humans during malaria infection

    Pengxing Cao et al.

    A mathematical model of blood-stage infection with Plasmodium falciparum malaria capturing the sexual stage of the parasite life-cycle is validated against human data, providing new insight into human-to-mosquito transmission.
