   Spatio-temporal associations between deforestation and malaria incidence in Lao PDR

   Francois Rerolle et al.

   Deforestation near villages is associated with short-term increases but long-term decreases in malaria incidence in Lao PDR, highlighting the influence of forest-going populations on malaria transmission in the region.

   Estimating SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and epidemiological parameters with uncertainty from serological surveys

   Daniel B Larremore et al.

   Integrating over multiple forms of statistical uncertainty associated with serological surveys can improve serosurvey design while also enabling that uncertainty to be appropriately propagated through epidemiological models.

   Quantifying the impact of quarantine duration on COVID-19 transmission

   Peter Ashcroft et al.

   Test-and-release quarantine strategies for traced contacts of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases and returning travellers can reduce average quarantine durations while remaining as effective as 10 days of quarantine without testing.

    The global burden of yellow fever

    Katy AM Gaythorpe et al.

    Yellow fever, a potentially deadly viral hemorrhagic fever, causes up to 82,000 deaths annually worldwide, and mass vaccination activities have reduced the burden by 47% in Africa.
