TL;DR: The authors found that most of the secondary transmissions could be traced back to a minority of infected individuals, and well over half of transmission occurred in the presymptomatic phase, which could help in the design of infection control policies that have the potential to minimize both virus transmission and economic strain.

TL;DR: This study comprehensively analyzed the sequences of HPAI H7N9 viruses from 28 human and 21 environmental samples covering eight provinces in China that were taken from November 2016 to June 2017 and showed that the ancestor virus of the HPAi H7n9 viruses originated in the Yangtze River Delta region.

TL;DR: Modelling results indicate that achieving SARS-CoV-2 control would require the synergistic efforts of case isolation, contact quarantine, and population-level physical distancing measures, owing to the particular transmission kinetics of this virus.

TL;DR: This research highlights the need to understand more fully the role of immune checkpoints in the development of fungal infection and how these checkpoints can be modified for more efficient and effective treatment of infections.

TL;DR: Molecular analysis demonstrated that all the viruses had typical molecular characteristics of contemporary avian H9N2 influenza viruses, and Phylogenetic analysis showed that the gene sequences of the H 9N2 AIVs exhibited high homology.
