The overlapping global distribution of dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever

Arboviruses transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes have an expanding global distribution and identifying areas at risk is important for public health planning. Here, the authors present global disease maps for dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever through a multi-disease ecological niche modelling approach.

CREM is a regulatory checkpoint of CAR and IL-15 signalling in NK cells

The transcription factor CREM is a pivotal regulator of NK cell function, making CREM a valuable target to increase the efficacy of anticancer immunotherapies based on this cell population and chimeric antigen receptors.

Ecological and socioeconomic factors associated with globally reported tick-borne viruses

Sambado et al. examine how environmental and social conditions shape where tick-borne viruses are reported worldwide. Using machine learning, they find that both ecological and economic are important, and that wealthier nations are more likely to report these overlooked diseases.

Mean daily temperatures predict the thermal limits of malaria transmission better than hourly rate summation

Malaria transmission is sensitive to temperature and models of malaria typically account for daily fluctuations in temperature through a ‘rate summation’ approach. Here, the authors conduct experimental and modeling work to investigate the accuracy of rate summation in predicting thermal suitability of malaria transmission by Anopheles stephensi.

Urban-adapted mammal species have more known pathogens

After compiling literature data on mammal parasites across urban and non-urban areas, the authors show that mammals in urban areas have more parasites overall without disproportionately more zoonotic ones, as is commonly thought.

Solar geoengineering could redistribute malaria risk in developing countries

Solar geoengineering, an emergency climate intervention, could shift one billion people back into areas of malaria risk. Regional tradeoffs and potential adverse outcomes point to the need for health sector planning with Global South leadership.

Climate predicts geographic and temporal variation in mosquito-borne disease dynamics on two continents

The effects of climate on vector-borne disease systems are highly context-dependent. Here, the authors incorporate laboratory-measured physiological traits of the mosquito Aedes aegypti into climate-driven mechanistic models to predict number, timing, and duration of outbreaks in Ecuador and Kenya.

Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change

The authors assess the growing field of climate change health impact attribution. They show literature bias towards direct heat effects and extreme weather in high-income countries, highlighting the lack of global representation in current efforts.

Misconceptions about weather and seasonality must not misguide COVID-19 response

Weather may marginally affect COVID-19 dynamics, but misconceptions about the way that climate and weather drive exposure and transmission have adversely shaped risk perceptions for both policymakers and citizens. Future scientific work on this politically-fraught topic needs a more careful approach.

Identifying outbreak risk factors through case-controls comparisons

Fefferman et al. propose applying a case-control framework as an outbreak epidemiological study design to promote evidence-based decision-making for prevention and response to outbreaks. They describe their framework and discuss case-control examples of how it can be applied.
