Article Abstract
This paper presents a conical conformal transmitarray (CCTA) with high transmission double C-shaped grating metasurface for generating orbital angular momentum (OAM) vortex waves. A double C-shaped grating metasurface element is proposed to achieve the 360° phase coverage in the 11-13 GHz bandwidth with a high transmission coefficient of more than 0.92. The ring layout method is adopted for the CCTA and its corresponding phase compensation formula is given. Additionally, to ensure the uniformity and consistency of coupling between adjacent elements, a calculation formula for the element number of each ring is derived. To validate the conformal design method, three prototypes of the proposed CCTA were simulated, fabricated, and measured to generate OAM vortex beams, respectively. The measured results indicate that the proposed CCTAs are in good agreement with the simulated results, verifying the effectiveness of the method. The proposed CCTAs will pave the way for an OAM-generating design method on conformal platforms for future communications and detection applications.

Crowding reduces per-capita parasite infection risk in a butterfly host.
Proc Biol Sci

Crowding can result in greater disease transmission, yet crowded hosts may also remove infectious propagules from the environment, thereby lowering the encounter rate and infectious dose received by conspecifics. We combined experimental and modelling work to examine the impact of crowding of butterfly larvae on the per-capita risk of infection by a protozoan that is transmitted via the larval food plant, and the resulting infection load in adult butterflies. We reared larvae at different densities and exposed them to low and high doses of parasites.

Severe fever with thrombocytopaenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) was identified by the World Health Organization as a priority pathogen due to its high case-fatality rate in humans and rapid spread. It is maintained in nature through three transmission pathways: systemic, non-systemic and transovarial. Understanding the relative contributions of these transmission pathways is crucial for developing evidence-informed public health interventions to reduce its spillover risks to humans.

Onchocerciasis is a neglected tropical disease that has severe health and socioeconomic impacts on the mostly poor and underserved communities in disease-endemic areas. Despite significant global progress toward the elimination of onchocerciasis transmission there remains a high risk of reemergence in areas where the disease was previously eliminated. Here we discuss the potential risk factors for the reemergence of onchocerciasis in disease-free zones in Sudan and nearby countries resulting from war-induced massive population displacement.

Drought is one of the most destructive natural disasters globally. Understanding its propagation mechanisms and the causal relationships among different drought types is crucial for effective monitoring and mitigation. Using meteorological (SPI), hydrological (SRI), and agricultural (SSMI) drought indices from 1983 to 2023 in Xinjiang, this study employs the Convergent Cross Mapping (CCM) method to systematically quantify nonlinear causal relationships among the three drought types, revealing their temporal lag characteristics, spatial heterogeneity, and multiscale dynamics.

The spillover and spillback of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) between humans and animals, especially companion animals, threaten global public health security. However, risk assessment of SARS-CoV-2 variants infecting companion animals and the development of corresponding prevention and control technologies are lacking. The aim of this study is to assess the potential risk of enhancement of the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in cats owing to mutations at key sites within the spike (S) protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) region and develop an efficient vaccine to cross-neutralize high-risk SARS-CoV-2 variants.
