Infectious disease spread in connected communities
Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...
EPFL2024Microfluidic systems for infectious disease diagnostics
Microorganisms, encompassing both uni- and multicellular entities, exhibit remarkable diversity as omnipresent life forms in nature. They play a pivotal role by supplying essential components for sustaining biological processes across diverse ecosystems, i ...
Cambridge2024Inactivation of influenza A virus in expiratory droplets and aerosol particles and the associated physicochemical drivers
Influenza is an infectious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Every year, it causes up to one billion cases of disease worldwide. Despite its high disease burden, the transmission pathway of influenza remains subject to debate. There is incre ...
EPFL2024Single-cell analysis of the interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and macrophages
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a highly effective pathogen infecting nearly a third of the world's population. An M. tuberculosis infection starts when droplets containing bacteria enter an individual's lungs. The first host cells to contact the bacteria ar ...
EPFL2024A common NFKB1 variant detected through antibody analysis in UK Biobank predicts risk of infection and allergy
Jacques Fellay, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel
Infectious agents contribute significantly to the global burden of diseases through both acute infection and their chronic sequelae. We leveraged the UK Biobank to identify genetic loci that influence humoral immune response to multiple infections. From 45 ...
Cambridge2024Radio-Activities: Architecture and Broadcasting in Cold War Berlin
A historical and theoretical account of the city of Berlin from the intertwined perspectives of architecture, environmental, and media studies. In 1945, having occupied German territory, Soviet troops made two strategic moves: they dismantled the Deutschla ...
MIT Press2024Stay close, but not too close: aerial image analysis reveals patterns of social distancing in seal colonies
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger
Many species aggregate in dense colonies. Species-specific spatial patterns provide clues about how colonies are shaped by various (a)biotic factors, including predation, temperature regulation or disease transmission. Using aerial imagery, we examined the ...
2023Aerosol pH is an overlooked driver of airborne influenza and coronavirus inactivation
The current pandemic has added to the growing evidence that respiratory viruses can be transmitted by the airborne route. Non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mask wearing or ventilation, aim to reduce the public health burden of respiratory diseases ...
2023Spatially explicit effective reproduction numbers from incidence and mobility data
Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto, Marino Gatto
Current methods for near real-time estimation of effective reproduction numbers from surveillance data overlook mobility fluxes of infectors and susceptible individuals within a spatially connected network (the metapopulation). Exchanges of infections amon ...
2023Expiratory Aerosol pH is a Driver of the Persistence of Airborne Influenza A Virus
To mitigate the spread of a viral disease, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence airborne virus transmission. However, the micro-environment to which the virus is exposed in expiratory aerosol particles is highly complex. The relative humi ...
