Real-time estimation of pathogen transmission dynamics from wastewater

Adrian Lison, Rachel E. McLeod, Jana S. Huisman +4 more

Nature Communications

Type
Journal article
Scope
Switzerland

Why it matters nowEnvironmental monitoring programs could utilize this analytical approach to maintain continuous epidemiological tracking in areas where traditional clinical reporting is incomplete or resource-constrained.

A combined cross-sectional analysis and case-control study evaluating tick-borne encephalitis vaccination coverage, disease and vaccine effectiveness in children and adolescents, Switzerland, 2005 to 2022

Kyra D Zens, Ekkehardt Altpeter, Monica N Wymann +6 more

Eurosurveillance

Type
Case-control study
Scope
Switzerland

Why it matters nowThe findings support vaccination recommendations by demonstrating that even young children can experience severe TBE and that complete vaccination provides durable protection against neurological disease for at least 10 years.

Impact of cross-border-associated cases on the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Switzerland during summer 2020 and 2021

Martina L. Reichmuth, Emma B. Hodcroft, Julien Riou +3 more

Epidemics

Type
Journal article
Scope
Switzerland

Why it matters nowThe findings indicate that cross-border-associated cases were an important component of the modeled Swiss epidemic dynamics during the studied summer periods. The abstract states that understanding this contribution may inform future surveillance strategies.

Inferring transmission fitness advantage of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern from wastewater samples using digital PCR, Switzerland, December 2020 through March 2021

Lea Caduff, David Dreifuss, Tobias Schindler +9 more

Eurosurveillance

Type
Genomic study
Scope
Switzerland

Why it matters nowThe findings support the potential use of targeted digital PCR in wastewater to monitor variant frequency and may indicate changes earlier than clinical sequencing. The evidence presented is specific to the reported Zurich analysis and does not establish performance in other settings.

Safety and immunogenicity of a chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored Ebola vaccine in healthy adults: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, phase 1/2a study

Olga De Santis, Régine Audran, Emilie Pothin +22 more

The Lancet Infectious Diseases

Type
Randomised controlled trial
Scope
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Switzerland

Why it matters nowThe paper is relevant to Ebola vaccine development because it provides early human safety and immune-response data for a candidate vaccine during an outbreak context. It is positioned as evidence to support later-phase efficacy studies rather than as a population-level effectiveness assessment.
