The first Ebola case has been reported today in France. Our rapid risk assessment last month showed that France consistently ranked among the European countries at highest risk of importation if an Ebola case were to arrive in Europe from the ongoing Bundibugyo outbreak.

On May 22 WHO reported 1 more #hantavirus case linked to the MV Hondius, while some high-risk contacts are still being located. We estimated that heterogeneous isolation + uncertainty on pre-sympt transmission leave a non-negligible risk of secondary clusters. Work led by @eugeValdano.

Mobility-based synthetic contact matrices offer a promising alternative for real-time pandemic response modeling. How do they compare with traditional empirical contact matrices? We address this question in our latest study, now published in Nature Communications ⬇️ doi.org/10.1038/s414...
