TL;DR: For the first time, regional influenza-like-illness surveillance was conducted in the Pacific, allowing health authorities to monitor the pandemic’s spread and severity in real-time.

TL;DR: This study extends the maximum known incubation period of Marburg virus disease to 26 days, and uses pooled data from all Marburg cases between 1967 and 2008 to develop estimates for the incubationperiod and the clinical onset serial interval (COSI).

TL;DR: Infectious diseases were among the highest priority climate-sensitive health risks identified in FSM, particularly diarrheal diseases, vector-borne diseases and leptospirosis, and significant correlations between disease incidence and El Niño-Southern Oscillation cycles were demonstrated in Kosrae state.

TL;DR: Identification of high risk areas and the likely mode of spread can guide government health authorities to formulate public health strategies to mitigate the spread of the disease through education campaigns, vaccination, increased surveillance in targeted areas and interventions to improve water, sanitation and hygiene.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed descriptive analyses to examine age-specific mortality and global vaccination rollout among older adults (defined by each country), stratified by country World Bank income status.
