Advancing climate change health adaptation through implementation science
Neta, Gila; Pan, William; Ebi, Kristie; Buss, Daniel F; Castranio, Trisha; Lowe, Rachel (Elsevier, 2022)
Article
Open AccessTo date, there are few examples of implementation science studies that help guide climate-related health adaptation. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based ... -
Epidemiological versus meteorological forecasts: Best practice for linking models to policymaking
Coughlan de Perez, Erin; Stephens, Elisabeth; van Aalst, Maarten; Bazo, Juan; Fournier Tombs, Eleonore; Funk, Sebastian; Hess, Jeremy J.; Ranger, Nicola; Lowe, Rachel (Elsevier, 2021)
Article
Open AccessWeather forecasts, climate change projections, and epidemiological predictions all represent domains that are using forecast data to take early action for risk management. However, the methods and applications of the ... -
Estimating the duration of antibody positivity and likely time of Leptospira infection using data from a cross-sectional serological study in Fiji
Rees, Eleanor M.; Lau, Colleen L.; Kama, Mike; Reid, Simon; Lowe, Rachel; Kucharski, Adam J. (Public Library of Science, 2022-06)

Open AccessBackground Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease prevalent throughout the world, but with particularly high burden in Oceania (including the Pacific Island Countries and Territories). Leptospirosis is endemic in Fiji, with ... -
Identifying hidden Zika hotspots in Pernambuco, Brazil: a spatial analysis
Picinini Freitas, Laís; Lowe, Rachel; Koepp, Andrew E; Valongueiro Alves, Sandra; Dondero, Molly; Marteleto, Letícia J (Oxford University Press, 2023)
Article
Open AccessNortheast Brazil has the world's highest rate of Zika-related microcephaly. However, Zika case counts cannot accurately describe burden because mandatory reporting was only established when the epidemic was declining in ... -
Planning for compound hazards during the COVID-19 pandemic: The role of climate information systems

Projecting the future incidence and burden of dengue in Southeast Asia
Colón González, Felipe J.; Gibb, Rory; Khan, Kamran; Watts, Alexander; Lowe, Rachel; Brady, Oliver J. (Nature Research, 2023)
Article
Open AccessThe recent global expansion of dengue has been facilitated by changes in urbanisation, mobility, and climate. In this work, we project future changes in dengue incidence and case burden to 2099 under the latest climate ... -
SARS-CoV-2 antibodies protect against reinfection for at least 6 months in a multicentre seroepidemiological workplace cohort
Finch, Emilie; Lowe, Rachel; Fischinger, Stephanie; St Aubin, Michael de; Siddiqui, Sameed M. (Public Library of Science, 2022-02)
Article
Open Accessdentifying the potential for SARS-CoV-2 reinfection is crucial for understanding possible long-term epidemic dynamics. We analysed longitudinal PCR and serological testing data from a prospective cohort of 4,411 United ... -
