TL;DR: The potential for international dissemination of this disease via commercial air travel should the outbreak of pneumonia of unknown aetiology in Wuhan, China continue is evaluated.

TL;DR: Viraemic travellers have now introduced Zika virus into at least 13 additional countries, where susceptible Aedes mosquitoes have become infected and perpetuated local transmission cycles, and high-risk international pathways for the dispersion of Zika virus are identified.

TL;DR: An epidemic of a novel coronavirus emerged from Wuhan, China, in late December 2019 and has since spread to several large Chinese cities, and how patterns of international disease transmission could change is evaluated.

TL;DR: This model combined transportation network analysis, ecological modelling of mosquito occurrences, and vector competence for flavivirus transmission, and climate conditions using WorldClim to identify regions and times where the potential health, economic, and social effects from Zika virus are greatest, focusing on resource-limited countries in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.

TL;DR: In this article, two genetically-distinct clusters of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with mutations of biological concern were reported, one in the United Kingdom and one in South Africa.
