  • Influenza activity in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) in 2020–2021 amidst the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessHala Abou El Naja, Stefano Tempia et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: A global reduction in influenza virus activity during the COVID-19 pandemic has been observed, including in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).

  • A cross-sectional study measuring contact patterns using diaries in an urban and a rural community in South Africa, 2018

    Open AccessJackie Kleynhans, Stefano Tempia et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Age played an important role in the number and duration of contact events, with children at the rural site having almost double the contact rate compared to the urban site. These contact rates can be utilized in mathematical models to assess transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in similar communities
