  • Observational research in epidemic settings

    Open AccessEmily Ricotta, Fausto Andres Bustos Carrillo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Observational studies are critical tools in clinical research and public health response, but challenges arise in ensuring the data produced by these studies are scientifically robust and socially valuable. Resolving these challenges requires careful attention to prioritising the most valuable research questions, ensuring robust study design, strong data management practices, expansive community engagement, and access and benefit sharing of resul…

  • Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change

    Open AccessColin J Carlson, Dann Mitchell et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2025

    Over the last decade, attribution science has shown that climate change is responsible for substantial death, disability and illness. However, health impact attribution studies have focused disproportionately on populations in high-income countries, and have mostly quantified the health outcomes of heat and extreme weather. A clearer picture of the global burden of climate change could encourage policymakers to treat the climate crisis like a pub…

  • A framework for managing infectious diseases in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries in the face of climate change—East Africa as a case study

    Open AccessKatherine E L Worsley-Tonks, Shaleen Angwenyi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Climate change is having unprecedented impacts on human health, including increasing infectious disease risk. Despite this, health systems across the world are currently not prepared for novel disease scenarios anticipated with climate change. While the need for health systems to develop climate change adaptation strategies has been stressed in the past, there is no clear consensus on how this can be achieved, especially in rural areas in low- an…

  • The WHO Disease Outbreak News during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessCiara M Weets, Colin J Carlson et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    During the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) was an important public source of information – not only about the pandemic, but also thousands of other potential health emergencies. Here, we examine the 242 reports published in the WHO Disease Outbreak News (DON) during the first four years of the Covid-19 pandemic (2020 to 2023), and document the diseases and regions that were reported. We find that multinational epidemics of …

  • Potential implications of the climate crisis on diagnostics

  • The World Health Organization’s Disease Outbreak News

    Open AccessColin J Carlson, Matthew R Boyce et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The World Health Organization (WHO) notifies the global community about disease outbreaks through the Disease Outbreak News (DON). These online reports tell important stories about both outbreaks themselves and the high-level decision making that governs information sharing during public health emergencies. However, they have been used only minimally in global health scholarship to date. Here, we collate all 2,789 of these reports from their firs…

  • Climate change increases cross-species viral transmission risk

    Open AccessColin J Carlson, Gregory F Albery et al.ARTICLENature2022

    At least 10,000 virus species have the ability to infect humans but, at present, the vast majority are circulating silently in wild mammals1,2. However, changes in climate and land use will lead to opportunities for viral sharing among previously geographically isolated species of wildlife3,4. In some cases, this will facilitate zoonotic spillover—a mechanistic link between global environmental change and disease emergence. Here we simulate poten…

  • Preparing international cooperation on pandemic prevention for the Anthropocene

    Open AccessColin J Carlson, Gregory F Albery et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    box The COVID-19 pandemic has centred zoonotic viruses in nearly every discipline’s efforts to reckon with modernity. This has been particularly highlighted in environmental policy, given the rise of paradigms like ‘One Health’ that centre the interconnectedness of human health and the environment, and that have given conservation organisations a seat at the table in global health. For those communities of practice, COVID-19 has underscored issue…
