In this study, we implemented dynamic tracking of microbial invasions by monitoring environmental microbes at the customs and ports. From July to September 2024, a total of 126 environmental samples were collected from three ports of entry in Shenzhen, China.

Identifying clusters (subsets of administrative subdivisions) with high syphilis prevalence could boost efforts to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of syphilis. We examined spatial variations and clustering of syphilis prevalence among pregnant young women in Central Uganda.

When a new pandemic virus emerges in a naive population the only control options are Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions, NPI's, until vaccines or effective treatments become available. Here we report on the Danish suppression strategy and use of a combination of NPI's with a notable absence of extremely strict measures (such as stay-at-home orders). Only 7% were infected (serological evidence) in the first year of the pandemic, compared to ∼50% in Lombardy in the first wave alone.

To prevent ongoing transmission and enhance timely treatment, it is important for scabies patients to notify their contacts.
