A Bayesian modelling framework to quantify multiple sources of spatial variation for disease mapping
(The Royal Society, 2022-09)
Article
Open AccessSpatial connectivity is an important consideration when modelling infectious disease data across a geographical region. Connectivity can arise for many reasons, including shared characteristics between regions and human ... -
Adult Aedes albopictus in winter: implications for mosquito surveillance in southern Europe
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Open Access -
Advancing climate change health adaptation through implementation science
(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
(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
(Public Library of Science, 2022-06)
Article
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
(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
(American Meteorological Society, 2022-03)
Article
Open AccessRoundtable on Compound Hazards and COVID-19 What: An online panel with leading experts in compound hazard research, preparedness, and response, attended by over 80 online participants, met to discuss hazard response in ... -
Projecting the future incidence and burden of dengue in Southeast Asia
(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
(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 ... -
The 2022 Europe report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: towards a climate resilient future
(Elsevier, 2022-10-25)
Article
Open AccessIn the past few decades, major public health advances have happened in Europe, with drastic decreases in premature mortality and a life expectancy increase of almost 9 years since 1980. European countries have some of the ... -
The current landscape of software tools for the climate-sensitive infectious disease modelling community
(Elsevier, 2023)
Article
Open AccessClimate-sensitive infectious disease modelling is crucial for public health planning and is underpinned by a complex network of software tools. We identified only 37 tools that incorporated both climate inputs and ... -
The impact of climate suitability, urbanisation, and connectivity on the expansion of dengue in 21st century Brazil.
(Public Library of Science, 2021-12)
Article
Open AccessDengue is hyperendemic in Brazil, with outbreaks affecting all regions. Previous studies identified geographical barriers to dengue transmission in Brazil, beyond which certain areas, such as South Brazil and the Amazon ... -
The local burden of disease during the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in England: estimation using different data sources from changing surveillance practices
(BMC, 2022)
Article
Open AccessBackground The COVID-19 epidemic has differentially impacted communities across England, with regional variation in rates of confirmed cases, hospitalisations and deaths. Measurement of this burden changed substantially ... -
Tracking the impacts of climate change on human health via indicators: lessons from the Lancet Countdown
(BioMed Central (BMC), 2022)
Article
Open AccessBackground In the past decades, climate change has been impacting human lives and health via extreme weather and climate events and alterations in labour capacity, food security, and the prevalence and geographical ...
