Great to be involved in putting this one together!
Artificial intelligence for modelling infectious disease epidemics, now out in @Nature
Lots of exciting scope for using AI technologies to advance infectious disease research and preparedness!

The Covid pandemic suppressed Flu.
A new @ScienceMagazine study investigated why

—nonpharmacologic intervention (masking, physical distancing)
—reduced international travel
—change in virus lineage dwell times
Our latest preprint explores the routes of importation of SARS-CoV-2 variants into Chile during 2021 by integrating genomic and human mobility data, a fantastic interdisciplinary collaboration sparked by
@leoferres and colleagues at @ispchmedrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
The Oropouche virus expansion in Brazil was a concerning case of arbovirus emergence outside of its endemic range, and so many questions remained!
We aimed to answer some of them by integrating landscape phylogeography and ecological niche modelling!
