Our findings suggest that residual SARS-CoV-2 can persist in patients who have recovered from mild COVID-19 and that there is a significant association between viral persistence and long COVID symptoms. Further research is needed to verify a mechanisti...
In their study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Wenting Zuo and colleagues collected tissue samples from 225 patients who had recovered from mild COVID-19 and found that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was distributed across ten distinct solid tissues, plasma, ...
Czech Republic is experiencing the largest outbreak of pertussis in more than 60 years, with suboptimal vaccine coverage and waning immunity partly to blame. Ed Holt reports.
In response to the UN's seventeen SDG agenda for 2030, which fosters research focused on global targets addressing some of society's biggest challenges, an accompanying body of work, a SDG programme, has been launched by Springer Nature. The programme ...
In a month when France has enshrined abortion as a constitutional legal right and the state of Arizona, USA, has voted to reinstate a law banning all abortions from conception unless it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant person, it is easy t...
Recognition of misinformation as a public health threat and interest in infodemics, defined as an inundation of information accompanying an epidemic or acute health event, have increased worldwide. However, scientists have no consensus on how to best d...

Our detailed breakdown of DALYs associated with a comprehensive list of pathogens on a global, regional, and country level has revealed the magnitude of the problem and helps to indicate where research funding mismatch might exist. Given the disproport...

Substantial progress has been made in reducing LRI mortality, but the burden remains high, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, with its associated non-pharmaceutical interventions, global incident LRI cas...
Lower respiratory infections (LRIs) are the leading infectious cause of morbidity and mortality globally.1 The 2019 iteration of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) highlighted the major progress in reducing the incide...
This first-in-human aerosol BCG controlled human infection model was sufficiently well tolerated. Further work will evaluate the utility of this model in assessing vaccine efficacy and identifying potential correlates of protection.
