   Identifying Plasmodium falciparum transmission patterns through parasite prevalence and entomological inoculation rate

   Benjamin Amoah et al.

   Estimating fine-scale spatiotemporal patterns of Plasmodium falciparum transmission showed an association between entomological inoculation rate and parasite prevalence that emphasizes the value of both measures in malaria surveillance.

   SARS-CoV-2 shedding dynamics across the respiratory tract, sex, and disease severity for adult and pediatric COVID-19

   Paul Z Chen et al.

   COVID-19 severity, rather than sex or age, predicts SARS-CoV-2 kinetics, and SARS-CoV-2 viral load from lower respiratory tract specimens may predict severe disease days before clinical deterioration for COVID-19 patients.

   Telomere length is associated with growth in children in rural Bangladesh

   Audrie Lin et al.

   In a rural, low-income setting in Bangladesh, early-life telomere length was associated with concurrent growth.

   Multiple introductions of multidrug-resistant typhoid associated with acute infection and asymptomatic carriage, Kenya

   Samuel Kariuki et al.

   Carriage of MDR S. Typhi H58 sublineages that also cause acute disease provides understanding of the transmission dynamics of typhoid fever and maintenance of local pathogen populations in Kenya children.

   Physiology and ecology combine to determine host and vector importance for Ross River virus

   Morgan P Kain et al.

   The role host and vector species play in pathogen transmission cycles is best quantified by integrating species' physiological and ecological competence.

   A proteome-wide genetic investigation identifies several SARS-CoV-2-exploited host targets of clinical relevance

   Mohd Anisul et al.

   Genetic integration of human protein abundance variation and COVID-19 susceptibility identifies proteins with potential causal roles in antiviral responses, coagulation, cytokine activation, and direct receptor interactions with SARS-CoV-2.

   Infection-exposure in infancy is associated with reduced allergy-related disease in later childhood in a Ugandan cohort

   Lawrence Lubyayi et al.

   In a Ugandan birth cohort, early childhood infection-exposure, notably to malaria, helminths, and diarrhoea, is associated with lower prevalence of atopy and allergy-related diseases in later childhood.

    Characterizing human mobility patterns in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa

    Hannah R Meredith et al.

    Mobile phone data reveal aspects of human mobility patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa missed by standard spatial models however, model estimates can be improved by accounting for trip urbanicity and region.
