Journal ArticleDOI

The dynamics of measles in sub-Saharan Africa

TL;DR: It is shown that measles epidemics in Niger are highly episodic, particularly in the capital Niamey, and how increased vaccine coverage, but still below the local elimination threshold, could lead to increasingly variable major outbreaks in highly seasonally forced contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence-based control of canine rabies: a critical review of population density reduction

TL;DR: It is proposed that the complex interactions between dogs and people may render culling of free-roaming dogs ineffective irrespective of the relationship between host density and disease incidence, and that vaccination is the most effective means to control rabies in all species.
Posted ContentDOI

Effectiveness of isolation, testing, contact tracing and physical distancing on reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in different settings

TL;DR: This analysis estimates that a high proportion of cases would need to self-isolate and a highportion of their contacts to be successfully traced to ensure an effective reproduction number that is below one in the absence of other measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple spillovers from humans and onward transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer

TL;DR: The discovery of widespread infection of white-tailed deer indicates their establishment as potential reservoir hosts for SARS-CoV-2, a finding with important implications for the ecology, long-term persistence, and evolution of the virus, including the potential for spillback to humans.
