New paper from Burcu - working towards describing 'immune education' journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
A model of early-life interactions between the gut microbiome and adaptive immunity provides insights into the ontogeny of immune tolerance
The developing immune system must learn which microbes to tolerate and which to resist, but how this process unfolds is unclear. This study develops a mechanistic mathematical model of early-life gut ...

Vaccination to mitigate climate-driven disruptions to malaria control in Madagascar
Extreme weather is common in high malaria burden areas and is likely to increase in severity owing to climate change–related severe weather events. Yet, data on infection rates after these events and ...

I'm excited to be able to share this analysis of rubella transmission in Nigeria that was developed with NCDC and USCDC thanks to an enormous effort by both to do a HUGE national-scale sero-survey using archived sera from 2018.

Can anyone put me in the direction of a paper that synthesizes microbiome diversity across systems? Do we have any idea how variable the number of taxa in microbiomes is? I feel like I have seen this graph in a presentation but I’m not sure if there’s a publication looking at this. Thanks!!!!
