   A recombinant protein containing influenza viral conserved epitopes and superantigen induces broad-spectrum protection

   Yansheng Li et al.

   By fusing influenza viral conserved epitopes and a superantigen fragment, we constructed a recombinant protein that might be a candidate universal broad-spectrum vaccine for the prevention and treatment of multiple influenza viruses.

   Efficacy of FFP3 respirators for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers

   Mark Ferris et al.

   Healthcare workers working on COVID-19 wards experience a 31-fold increased risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared to colleagues on non-COVID-19 wards whilst wearing fluid-resistant surgical masks, and FFP3 respirators provide up to 100% protection against infection.

   Neonatal Weight: No fire without smoke (particles)

   Stephanie M Holm, John Balmes

   Pollution from landscape fires, which are increasing with climate change, leads to babies being born with lower birthweights in low- and middle-income countries.

   Epigenome-wide analysis of DNA methylation and coronary heart disease: a nested case-control study

   Jiahui Si et al.

   Epigenetic regulations in the smoking- and blood pressure-related pathways to the future risk of coronary heart disease may reveal novel pathways or therapeutic targets.

   Emerging dynamics from high-resolution spatial numerical epidemics

   Olivier Thomine et al.

   Countrywide agent-based simulations with building-level resolution reveal the importance of demographic repartition and population density on epidemic dynamics of respiratory infections.

   Exposure to landscape fire smoke reduced birthweight in low- and middle-income countries: findings from a siblings-matched case-control study

   Jiajianghui Li et al.

   Gestational exposure to landscape fire smoke harms maternal health, especially in low and middle-income countries.

   Microbiome-pathogen interactions drive epidemiological dynamics of antibiotic resistance: A modeling study applied to nosocomial pathogen control

   David RM Smith et al.

   A novel mathematical modeling framework for antibiotic-resistant bacteria combining within-host microbiome-pathogen interactions with population-level pathogen epidemiology, demonstrating how antibiotic consumption and ecological competition come together to drive the spread of resistance.

    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.
