TL;DR

The study supports the potential usefulness of combining contact-based models with explainable graph neural networks for scenario-based epidemic analysis and suggests that the k-GCN model captures relevant temporal and structural dependencies in the simulated graph-organized data.

Drivers of sylvatic yellow fever transmission in southeast Brazil: a joint epidemiological and phylodynamic inference.

YFV might be establishing recurrent transmission in NHP populations in southeast Brazil, indicating that more comprehensive and consistent surveillance is needed, and identifying key environmental drivers and their lags with human YFV cases can be used to develop early warning systems to guide reactive vaccination and...

Dynamics of global mpox epidemics, 1970–2025: a systematic review and meta-analysis of evolving transmissibility and intervention effects

Behaviour change and vaccination likely played important roles in the decline of the 2022 mpox epidemic in many studied settings, and effective mpox epidemic control requires proactive, rapid and equitable vaccine rollout supported by culturally tailored risk communication.

From Clustered to Sporadic: Structural Shifts in the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of HPAI Following the 2017 Policy Reinforcement in South Korea (2003–2025)

It is suggested that the post‐2017 pattern was temporally consistent with strengthened control policies aimed at reducing mechanical connectivity between farms, although this ecological analysis cannot separate policy effects from other time‐varying epidemiological and surveillance‐related factors.
