Genomic Analysis of Human-infecting Leptospira borgpetersenii isolates in Sri Lanka expanded PF07598 gene family repertoire, less overall genome reduction than bovine isolates

This paper reports the complete genomes of seven human-infecting Leptospira borgpetersenii isolates from Sri Lanka, showing less genome decay and expanded PF07598 gene family compared to bovine isolates.

Human mobility and malaria risk in peri-urban and rural communities in the Peruvian Amazon

This paper examines how human mobility contributes to malaria transmission in the Peruvian Amazon by analyzing social network patterns and travel behavior.
