Influenza A virus (FLUAV) affects a wide range of hosts, including humans and animals, posing a threat to public health. In swine, H3N2 subtype is associated with human-to-swine spillovers of seasonal viruses. In Latin America, the molecular and antigenic characteristics of swine FLUAV H3N2, as well as its phylogenetic origin, are poorly understood.

Centre for Socio-Economic Research on Ageing, INRCA IRCCS-National Institute of Health and Science on Ageing, Ancona, Italy.
Background And Objectives: This study explores the association between informal caregiving for older adults and environmentally sustainable behaviors across the 27 European Union countries, aiming to identify how the gendered and domestic nature of environmentalism relates to senior care.
Research Design And Methods: Data from 41,742 respondents aged 16-74 were analyzed from the Survey of Gender Gaps in Unpaid Care, Individual and Social Activities, and conducted by a scientific consortium in 2022. Frequency of sustainable behaviors was measured across 10 indicators.
Effects of a community-driven water, sanitation, and hygiene intervention on diarrhea, child growth, and local institutions: A cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural Democratic Republic of Congo.

Department of Political Science, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, United States of America.
Background: Diarrhea and growth faltering in early childhood reduce survival and impair neurodevelopment. We assessed whether a national program combining (i) funds for latrine and water upgrades; (ii) institutional strengthening; and (iii) behavior change campaigns reduced diarrhea and stunting, and strengthened local institutions.
Methods And Findings: We collaborated with program implementers to conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial in four provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Piloting an event-based surveillance model in private hospitals for early detection of disease clusters, Kerala, India.

School of Public Health, #ICMR-National Institute of Epidemiology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background & objectives Event-based surveillance (EBS) is a critical component of early warning systems for detecting and responding to infectious disease outbreaks. While EBS is widely used in public health settings, its integration into private healthcare facilities remains limited. This study undertook to pilot an EBS in private hospitals in Kasaragod, Kerala and to assess its added value in early detection of disease clusters.

Responding to the emergence of Plasmodium falciparum partial resistance to artemisinins and partner drugs of artemisinin-based combination therapies in the Greater Mekong subregion (GMS) of southeast Asia, the Regional Artemisinin-resistance Initiative (RAI) was established in 2014 and has made remarkable progress in eliminating falciparum malaria. In Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam, the number of malaria cases has declined from hundreds of thousands in 2010 to 2313 cases in 2023, with only 246 caused by falciparum malaria. The key components of this success have been an effective package of interventions curbing malaria transmission, with an emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment in hard-to-reach populations through an extended and well organised network of community and mobile malaria workers; improved surveillance systems; and evidence-driven implementation of intensified approaches such as active case detection, chemoprevention in specific risk groups, and targeted drug administration.
