The Bank of Standard Sera created in the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology provide for evaluation the epidemiological situation in any separate territory and in the whole of the country. The collection of certified blood sera is divided according to different territories of the country and makes it possible to obtain the retrospective and operative information on the level of population immunity and the immune structure of the population with respect to different infective agents, and to reveal the susceptible group of the population. The analysis of the unfavorable character of the epidemiological situation in the inspected territory with due consideration of its climato-geographical and anthropogenic environmental, socio-demographic characteristics, the level of population immunity and the immune structure of the population with respect to different infective agents makes it possible to carry out the epidemiological diagnostic (an outbreak, the import of infection, the use of a bacteriological weapon), prognosis and the prophylaxis of diseases, as well as the epidemiological cartography of territory.

Objectives: Sub-Saharan African immigrants are particularly affected by HIV in France, with many acquiring the infection after migration due to precarious circumstances that increase their vulnerability. This study aimed to explore the association between HIV risk perception, knowledge of biomedical HIV prevention methods and sexual behaviours among sub-Saharan African immigrants living in precarious conditions in the greater Paris area.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analysed data from 614 participants in the MAKASI project, conducted in the greater Paris area (2019-2020).

In this study, a new deterministic mathematical model based on fractional-order derivative operator that describes the pseudo-recovery dynamics of an epidemiological process is developed. Fractional-order derivative of Caputo type is used to examine the effect of memory in the spread process of infectious diseases with pseudo-recovery. The well-posedness of the model is qualitatively investigated through Banach fixed point theory technique.

Estimating the trend of new infections was crucial for monitoring risk and for evaluating strategies and interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic revealed the utility of new data sources and highlighted challenges in interpreting surveillance indicators when changes in disease severity, testing practices or reporting occur. Our study aims to estimate the underlying trend in new COVID-19 infections by combining estimates of growth rates from all available surveillance indicators in Norway.

Genetic studies of Plasmodium parasites increasingly feature relatedness estimates. However, various aspects of malaria parasite relatedness estimation are not fully understood. For example, relatedness estimates based on whole-genome-sequence (WGS) data often exceed those based on sparser data types.
