Hepatitis B cell-free DNA in non-invasive prenatal testing as an early biomarker of viral infectivity

This study investigates HBV cell-free DNA as a biomarker for viral infectivity in prenatal testing, finding it correlates with high infectivity and reduced fetal fraction in early pregnancy.

Effects of recombination on multi-drug resistance evolution in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

This paper models recombination's impact on multi-drug resistance evolution in malaria, showing that most recombinant genotypes arise from multi-clonal infections and that ACT strategies reduce treatment failures and delay resistance.

Role of Seasonal Importation and Random Genetic Drift on Selection for Drug-Resistant Genotypes of Plasmodium falciparum in High Transmission Settings

The paper models how seasonal importation and genetic drift affect the establishment of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum genotypes in high transmission settings.

Pre-existing partner-drug resistance facilitates the emergence and spread of artemisinin resistance: a consensus modelling study

This study shows that pre-existing partner-drug resistance accelerates the emergence of artemisinin resistance through consensus modelling of Plasmodium falciparum transmission.

Poultry farmer response to disease outbreaks in smallholder farming systems

A cohort study of fifty three small-scale poultry farms in southern Vietnam reveals that when outbreaks occur with symptoms similar to highly pathogenic avian influenza, farmers respond by sending their chickens to market early, potentially exacerbating the effects of the outbreak.

MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING REVEALS A UNIQUE CO-DOMINANT POPULATION STRUCTURE OF CRYPTOCOCCUS NEOFORMANS VAR. GRUBII IN VIETNAM

This study uses MLST to analyze Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii isolates from Vietnam and Laos, revealing a unique intermediate population structure compared to other regions.
