  • Rebalancing power in infectious disease modelling

    Open AccessJustice Moses K Aheto, Megan Auzenbergs et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

  • High measles and rubella vaccine coverage and seroprevalence among Zambian children participating in a measles and rubella supplementary immunization activity

    Open AccessChristine Prosperi, Shaun Truelove et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Post-campaign coverage surveys estimate the proportion of previously unvaccinated children vaccinated during supplementary immunization activities (SIA) but cannot address whether susceptible children seronegative to measles and rubella viruses were vaccinated during the SIA. We conducted a cross-sectional serosurvey nested within the November 2020 measles-rubella SIA in Zambia, systematically sampling children aged 9 months to 5 years at 30 SIA …

  • Feasibility and acceptability of collecting dried blood spots (DBS) from children after vaccination during supplementary immunization activities to estimate measles and rubella seroprevalence

    Open AccessAndrea C Carcelen, Christine Prosperi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Nested serosurveys within routine service delivery platforms such as planned supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) provide an opportunity to collect information that can be used to answer valuable questions on the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery model to inform future activities. However, integrating research data collection in SIAs is rarely done due to concerns it will negatively impact the program. We conducted a serosurvey …

  • Covid-19 Mitigation Among College Students

    Rachel A Smith, Meg L Small et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2023

    By fall 2020, students returning to U.S. university campuses were mandated to engage in COVID-19 mitigation behaviors, including masking, which was a relatively novel prevention behavior in the U.S. Masking became a target of university mandates and campaigns, and it became politicized. Critical questions are whether the influences of injunctive norms and response efficacy on one behavior (i.e. masking) spill over to other mitigation behaviors (e…

  • Sub-national variation in measles vaccine coverage and outbreak risk

    Open AccessAvery Kundrick, Zhuojie Huang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Each metric for prioritization may result in discrete target areas for vaccination campaigns; thus, there are tradeoffs to choosing one metric over another. However, in some cases, certain areas may be prioritized by all three metrics. These areas should be treated with particular concern. Furthermore, the spatial scale at which each metric is calculated impacts the resulting prioritization and should also be considered when prioritizing areas fo…

  • Bridging Taxonomic and Disciplinary Divides in Infectious Disease

    Open AccessElizabeth T Borer, Janis Antonovics et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2011

    Pathogens traverse disciplinary and taxonomic boundaries, yet infectious disease research occurs in many separate disciplines including plant pathology, veterinary and human medicine, and ecological and evolutionary sciences. These disciplines have different traditions, goals, and terminology, creating gaps in communication. Bridging these disciplinary and taxonomic gaps promises novel insights and important synergistic advances in control of inf…
