TL;DR: A large portion of tropical and sub-tropical regions globally have suitable environmental conditions with over 2.17 billion people inhabiting these areas, showing environmental suitability for Zika.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use mobility and case data to quantify how coordinated exit strategies could delay continental resurgence and limit community transmission of COVID-19 and find that appropriate coordination can greatly improve the likelihood of eliminating community transmission throughout Europe.

TL;DR: A new approach that combines classic results from epidemiological theory with seroprevalence data and highly spatially resolved data about drivers of transmission to make location-specific projections of epidemic attack rates constitutes a revised upper limit of populations at risk in the current Zika epidemic.

TL;DR: This framework is an important step towards understanding progressive changes in malaria distribution and the role of subnational transmission dynamics in a policy-relevant way, and future work should account for international parasite movement, utilize real time surveillance data, and relax the steady state assumption required by the presented model.

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors devised a mobility-associated social contact index to quantify the impact of both physical distancing and vaccination measures in a unified way, and they showed that vaccination combined with physical distance can contain resurgences without relying on stay-at-home restrictions, whereas a gradual vaccination process alone cannot achieve this.
