Co-administration of recombinant Na-APR-1(M74) and Na-GST-1 to school-aged Gabonese children was well tolerated and induced significant IgG responses. These results justify further evaluation of this antigen combination in proof-of-concept controlled-i...

This Personal View discusses the challenges faced, especially by low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), in responding to the growing burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance. Many patients in LMICs lack access to effective and affordable t...
Terminology in schistosomiasis is not harmonised, generating misunderstanding in data interpretation and clinical descriptions. This study aimed to achieve consensus on definitions of clinical aspects of schistosomiasis in migrants and returning travel...
Lassa fever, a viral haemorrhagic fever endemic to West Africa, remains a substantial health concern in the region. Although its primary mode of transmission is through contact with food and household items contaminated by Mastomys rat urine and faeces...
With the emergence of Omicron variants, which carry several immune escape-related mutations in the spike protein, the effectiveness of COVID-19 prototype vaccines was weakened.1,2 To overcome such weakness, several strategies have been adopted to updat...
All three coprimary endpoints were met in part 2 of the ongoing 2019nCoV-311 study. These data support the development of monovalent and/or bivalent vaccines for the most currently circulating variants, to optimise protection. With no new safety findin...
The absence of a consensus-based reference standard for urinary tract infection (UTI) research adversely affects the internal and external validity of diagnostic and therapeutic studies. This omission hinders the accumulation of evidence for a disease ...
Influenza B virus infections account for a substantial proportion of cases of influenza annually, with a high morbidity and mortality burden, especially in children (aged 0–18 years). Influenza B virus, on average, accounts for 23% of the annual influe...
