Plague in Madagascar: a new model sheds light on the seasonality of outbreaks
A new model has been developed to elucidate the seasonal dynamics of plague in Madagascar. In this country, where the disease remains endemic, and most often occurs between October and March. The asso...

Plague remains a health issue in several parts of the world—especially in Madagascar, where epidemics follow a seasonal pattern. In our new @pnas.org paper, we link that seasonality to rat and flea dynamics and quantify the impact of various control strategies. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

During the 2023-24 RSV season, France administered ~215k doses of new monoclonal antibody nirsevimab to newborns. In LancetChildAdolescHealth, we evaluated the impact of this policy on the number of hospitalizations for RSV bronchiolitis following ER visits.

Effect of nirsevimab on hospitalisations for respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis in France, 2023–24: a modelling study
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of hospitalisations and deaths among infants worldwide. France was one of the first countries to implement a national programme (beginnin...
