Our study shows the distinct and intensifying sexual transmission of shigellosis, highlighting the urgent need to address sexually transmissible shigellosis as a distinct health threat. Traditional in...

Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease, primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis that can be lethal in young infants. Acellular vaccines (aP) are used in France and other European countr...

The analysis of pairs of identical SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences enables characterization of transmission patterns between geographies and age groups.

Nature - This Perspective considers the application to infectious disease modelling of AI systems that combine machine learning, computational statistics, information retrieval and data science.

RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have a high mutation rate, which contributes to their rapid evolution. The rate of mutations depends on the mutation type (e.g., A→C, A→G, etc.) and can vary between sites ...
