   Mapping imported malaria in Bangladesh using parasite genetic and human mobility data

   Hsiao-Han Chang et al.

   Human mobility drives malaria importation within countries and threatens elimination interventions, but can be measured using new approaches that combine parasite genetics, mobile phone data, travel surveys and models.

   Using parasite genetic and human mobility data to infer local and cross-border malaria connectivity in Southern Africa

   Sofonias Tessema et al.

   Combining parasite genetic and human mobility data can provide detailed information on local and cross-border connectivity, allowing programs to strengthen local and regional coordination for successful elimination of malaria.

   The impact of measles immunization campaigns in India using a nationally representative sample of 27,000 child deaths

   Benjamin KC Wong et al.

   Measles immunization campaigns in India accelerated declines in child measles mortality rates and averted 41,000-56,000 child measles deaths during 2010 to 2013.

   Potential herd protection against Plasmodium falciparum infections conferred by mass antimalarial drug administrations

   Daniel M Parker et al.

   Given sufficient population adherence, mass drug administration for falciparum malaria can provide group level benefits, also known as ‘herd effects’.

   Immunization: Reducing measles mortality in India

   Anindya Sekhar Bose

   A large-scale campaign to promote measles vaccinations has substantially reduced the number of children dying from the disease in India.

   External validation of postnatal gestational age estimation using newborn metabolic profiles in Matlab, Bangladesh

   Malia SQ Murphy et al.

   Gestational age estimation models derived from newborn screening bloodspot samples are effective on data obtained from both heel prick and cord blood samples in low-resource settings.

   Collider bias and the apparent protective effect of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency on cerebral malaria

   James A Watson et al.

   Selection bias, also known as collider bias, likely explains the apparent protective effect of G6PD deficiency against cerebral falciparum malaria.

   Structured illumination microscopy combined with machine learning enables the high throughput analysis and classification of virus structure

   Romain F Laine et al.

   Machine learning in conjunction with super-resolution imaging allows for the first time to quantitatively analyse large and heterogenous virus samples structure at a high throughput and specificity.

    The distribution of antibiotic use and its association with antibiotic resistance

    Scott W Olesen et al.

    Population-level antibiotic resistance correlates with the breadth of antibiotic use, that is, the proportion of people taking an antibiotic, better than with intensity of use the amount of use among users.
