   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.

   Inference and control of the nosocomial transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

   Sen Pei et al.

   The asymptomatic colonization and importation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospital settings can be inferred from observed cases using combined model-inference methods and used to inform improved interventions.

   National and regional seasonal dynamics of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the USA from 1980 to 2016

   Robbie M Parks et al.

   All parts of the USA are similarly adapted to temperature seasonality, although mortality seasonality, and how it has changed since the 1980s, depend on age and sex.

   Personality links with lifespan in chimpanzees

   Drew M Altschul et al.

   Among captive chimpanzees, higher agreeableness males and higher openness females survive longer.

   Temperature explains broad patterns of Ross River virus transmission

   Marta Strecker Shocket et al.

   Accounting for nonlinear responses to temperature is critical for accurately predicting how Ross River virus and other mosquito-borne diseases will respond to climate change and detecting the effects of temperature on disease transmission.

   Quantification of anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity to malaria as a function of age and exposure

   Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer et al.

   Analyses of detailed clinical and entomological data from cohort studies reveal how anti-parasite and anti-disease immunity against P. falciparum develop as a function of age and transmission intensity.

    Malaria: Age, exposure and immunity

    Michael White, James Watson

    The acquisition of immunity to malaria by an individual depends on their age and the number of infectious mosquito bites they have received.
