Towards a new (H)ERA: Developments to strengthen infectious diseases surveillance and pandemic preparedness
combination with conventional testing and epidemiological data integrated genomic-epidemiological analyses can be performed. Therefore, we designed Be- HERA as an overarching architecture to strengthen the ...
An overview of programmatic indicators to monitor the roll-out of HIV preexposure prophylaxis.
suggested for monitoring PrEP programmes. We conducted a scoping review based on the framework by Arksey and O’M alley. We combined a systematic search in the peer-reviewed literature with hand-searching grey ...
Continued Circulation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Variants and Detection of Novel Transmission Foci, the Netherlands.
indicated that 3 different variants of the TBEV-Eu subtype circulate in the Netherlands, suggesting multiple independent introductions. Combined with recent human cases outside known TBEV hotspots, our data ...
