Seroepidemiology of enterovirus A71 infection in prospective cohort studies of children in southern China, 2013-2018

Hand, foot and mouth disease, caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infection, is common in children in China. Here, the authors estimate EV-A71 incidence and seroprevalence using data from two longitudinal cohorts and find that, despite high infection rates, a large proportion of children under 6 are susceptible.

SARS-CoV-2 transmission across age groups in France and implications for control

In this study, Tran Kiem et al. examine the contribution of different age groups to COVID-19 transmission. Using data from the French epidemic in summer 2020, they report that while individuals aged 80 years and older are more at risk, pandemic control in the absence of vaccines required measures targeted at all age groups.

Age-specific mortality and immunity patterns of SARS-CoV-2

The relative risk of COVID-19-associated death for younger individuals (under 65) is consistent across countries and can be used to robustly compare the underlying number of infections in each country.

Evaluating the impact of curfews and other measures on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in French Guiana

Identifying effective combinations of control measures in different populations is important for SARS-CoV-2 control. Here, the authors show that in French Guiana, which has a relatively young population, curfews and localised lockdowns appeared to contribute to reducing transmission.

Reconstructing Mayotte 2018–19 Rift Valley Fever outbreak in humans by combining serological and surveillance data

Bastard et al. estimate the extent of zoonotic human infections during the 2018–2019 Rift Valley Fever outbreak in Mayotte, France, combining passive surveillance and serological data. Estimating the case reporting fraction shows that syndromic surveillance fails to capture most infections during the epidemic.

Adherence and sustainability of interventions informing optimal control against the COVID-19 pandemic

Di Domenico and Sabbatini et al. model the impact of lockdowns of varying duration and intensity on the control of COVID-19, using data from the third wave of the epidemic in the Paris region of France. The authors introduce a measure of policy-induced fatigue, the ‘distress index’, that helps to explain why shorter, more stringent restrictions might be more effective.
