Excited to share our new paper out today in @natcomms.nature.com Combining multiplex serology, mathematical modelling, and experimental validation reveals arbovirus transmission dynamics despite cross-reactivity. (1/2)

Investigating antibody cross-reactivity and transmission dynamics of alphaviruses and flaviviruses using a multiplex serological assay - Nature Communications
Arboviruses often co-circulate, but cross-reactivity hampers serological diagnostics. Here, the authors paired multiplex serology with competitive immunoassays and Bayesian modelling to quantify antib...

For this week’s #epinowcast seminar (as ever the first Wednesday of the month at 3pm UK time) we have Lina Cristancho Fajardo talking about: Why heterogeneity in mosquito exposure is necessary to forecast chikungunya outbreaks in Reunion Island. www.epinowcast.org/seminars/202...

@betanalpha.bsky.social quick question. Is an uncertainty interval an expectation? I think I’ve seen it as an expectation using an indicator function.

This week, @emiliefinch.bsky.social and @jandraor.bsky.social from our team delivered a hands-on workshop on infectious disease modelling. Participants from KAUST were introduced to the fundamentals of transmission dynamics. Huge thanks to all the participants for their curiosity and engagement.

This one has been a long time coming: we delivered this through institutional changes and the team incubated two babies 👶 👶 alongside this phenomenal work dissecting the genomic epidemiology of a globally important Salmonella serovar causing iNTS disease worldwide! 🧬 🧫 💊

El hombre que midió el mundo… con un palo y una sombra Hace más de 2000 años, un sabio griego que vivía en Egipto hizo algo que parece de ciencia ficción: calculó la circunferencia de la Tierra con gran precisión… usando solo observación, geometría y un palo. Su nombre era Eratóstenes 👇🏻

One of the more surprising things about doing science is that answers are often found in places that seem strange without knowing why a scientist has chosen this.

No one best way to measure #infection risk in populations. Cross-sectional sero: weak temporal signal, CXR, waning as we know. Extra care needed for longitudinal #serology as Ab kinetics and assay noise can mess up estimates by a lot. Cases can be powerful! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2411768121
