This study utilizes a wastewater-informed agent-based model calibrated with Approximate Bayesian Computation to demonstrate that pandemic lockdowns significantly reduced Hepatitis E transmission in Munich, revealing how combining wastewater surveillance with case data can uncover transmission dynamics masked in smaller datasets or by reporting biases.
This longitudinal study in Victoria, Australia, reveals that culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and low socio-economic status populations demonstrated high adherence to COVID-19 public health measures, suggesting that structural barriers rather than behavioral non-compliance drove disproportionate infection rates, while highlighting the critical need for tailored support to enable isolation for workers awaiting test results.
This mathematical modeling study projects that climate and demographic changes will significantly increase the global burden of chikungunya by expanding the mosquito's range and aging populations, but vaccinating 50% of individuals aged 12 and older could substantially mitigate this rising risk of cases and deaths.
