Effectiveness of the TAK-003 dengue vaccine in adolescents during the 2024 outbreak in São Paulo, Brazil: a test-negative, case–control study
TAK-003 was effective against symptomatic dengue and hospitalisation with dengue in adolescents during a large outbreak caused predominantly by dengue virus serotypes 1 and 2. These findings underscor...

Proud co‑author on @cp-immunity.bsky.social study by Julius Lautenbach, @chrissundling.bsky.social & Team Färnert w/ HPA & @scilifelab.se. We integrate plasma proteome dynamics (1500 proteins) + scRNA-seq in acute malaria, identifying severity markers & exploring immune-cell communication.
Systems analysis of clinical malaria reveals proteomic perturbation and innate-adaptive crosstalk linked to disease severity
While the immune response to Plasmodium falciparum malaria has been studied extensively, the circulating proteome and its cellular origins remain poorly characterized. Lautenbach et al. address this b...

Beautiful study of primaquine treatment to prevent vivax malaria relapses from Jean Popovici's team from Pasteur Cambodia.

The study is special because patients were moved to a non-endemic part of Cambodia, excluding reinfection from msoquitoes.

A natural experiment on the effect of herpes zoster vaccination on dementia - Nature
Using a natural experiment that avoids common bias concerns, this study finds that the live-attenuated shingles vaccine reduced the probability of a new dementia diagnosis within a follow-up period of 7 years by approximately one-fifth.
