Increasing evidence for multimodal transmission of mpox! Our work showed that sexual + nonsexual transmission led to underestimation of attack rate even when nonsexual transmission is initially minimal and surveillance needs to be focused on multiple modes of transmission.

An explosive outbreak of mpox in Sierra Leone is raising fears of wider spread. The country of 9 million has seen more than 3000 cases already.
“We could see very rapid geographic expansion […] if we don’t really try and get things under control quickly,” says @kindrachukjason.bsky.social

I hope that so-called "international" conferences will be held in less prohibitive locations now.

This is horrible and maybe now academics in the global north who have always traveled freely without the added worry of visa and immigration concerns will have some empathy for academics from the global South for whom this is actually the norm i.e. harassment at borders and visa denials.

There are great conferences and science in the US, but with the way things are right now, it’s too risky to attend.

Edge based compartmental modelling framework for disease spreading on networks. It is an impressive method for reducing a large system of ODEs to a couple of equations.

If you think about how people reacted to lockdowns & omicron wave in Australia, then we have a piping hot piece of research for you, that breaks it down by socioeconomic status: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
Socioeconomic correlates of urban mobility trends in two Australian cities during transitional periods of the COVID-19 pandemic | Royal Society Open Science
During the COVID-19 pandemic, both government-mandated lockdowns and discretionary changes in behaviour combined to produce dramatic and abrupt changes to human mobility patterns. To understand the so...
