   Previously undetected super-spreading of Mycobacterium tuberculosis revealed by deep sequencing

   Robyn S Lee et al.

   Incorporating within-host diversity in transmission, as identified by deep sequencing, can significantly change previously-held inferences, with major implications for genomic studies of transmission in tuberculosis and other pathogens as well.

   Body height in young adult men and risk of dementia later in adult life

   Terese Sara Høj Jørgensen et al.

   Taller body height in young adulthood, as marker of early-life environment, is associated with lower risk of dementia diagnosis independently of cognitive reserve and family factors shared among brothers.

   Longitudinal trajectories, correlations and mortality associations of nine biological ages across 20-years follow-up

   Xia Li et al.

   Biological ages have the potential to provide aging-related information beyond chronological age and can be predictive of mortality independently of both chronological age and different types of biological ages.

   Mortality: The challenges of estimating biological age

   Alexey Moskalev

   A comparison of nine different approaches over a period of 20 years reveals the most promising indicators for biological age.

   Zika seroprevalence declines and neutralizing antibodies wane in adults following outbreaks in French Polynesia and Fiji

   Alasdair D Henderson et al.

   A combination of eight serological surveys shows a decline in seroprevalence over a two-year period following the first reports of Zika transmission in Fiji and French Polynesia.

   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.
