We read with great interest the Article by Vanbaelen and colleagues1 and the Review by Williams and colleagues2 on the need for asymptomatic screening for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in men who have sex with men (MSM). This topic is...

Chikungunya virus disease is one of the most neglected arboviral diseases.1,2 Between December, 2013, and June, 2023, public health authorities reported 3·7 million suspected and laboratory-confirmed cases of chikungunya virus disease in the Americas,3...
After a single VLA1553 vaccination, chikungunya virus-neutralising antibodies above the threshold considered to be protective persisted up to 2 years and there were no long-term serious adverse events related to vaccination. VLA1553 is an efficient and...
Indoor residual spraying has substantially reduced sandfly abundance in India, which has contributed to reductions in visceral leishmaniasis and related deaths. To prevent the re-emergence of visceral leishmaniasis as a public health problem, surveilla...

A regimen consisting of 2 days of intraurethral LBP-EC01 and 3 days of concurrent intravenous LBP-EC01 (1 × 1010 PFU) and oral TMP–SMX twice a day was well tolerated, with consistent pharmacokinetic profiles in urine and blood. LBP-EC01 and TMP–SMX dos...

Changes in the epidemiology and ecology of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza are devastating wild bird and poultry populations, farms and communities, and wild mammals worldwide. Having originated in farmed poultry, H5N1 viruses are now spread glo...

The control and elimination of vector-borne diseases require knowledge about how vector control affects the presence of vectors in areas of human exposure (ie, abundance) and how alterations in abundance affect disease incidence.1 In The Lancet Infecti...

Arboviral infections have hit South America heavily in the past decade, with the epidemic of Zika virus in 2015–16, and recurrent outbreaks of chikungunya and dengue, the latter of which is affecting Brazil with a particularly high number of cases this...
Ebola virus disease poses a recurring risk to human health. We conducted a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023393345) of Ebola virus disease transmission models and parameters published from database inception to July 7, 2023, from PubMed and Web of S...
The increasing detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates with an extensively drug-resistant phenotype (ie, ceftriaxone minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≥0·125 mg/L, plus high-level resistance to azithromycin [MIC ≥256 mg/L])1 is of grave concer...
Preparedness and communication are key to preventing and tackling existing and future epidemics, whether caused by known, lesser-known, or unknown pathogens. We need to strengthen and speed up cooperation among health authorities at regional, national,...
