Nature Communications
Why it matters nowThe authors frame the findings as highlighting zoonotic risk and the need for ongoing surveillance at animal-to-human interfaces to support pandemic preparedness.
EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority
Why it matters nowThe data indicate that routine community exposure poses minimal threat, though individuals with professional or environmental contact with infected fauna face a marginally higher probability of contracting the virus.
EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority
Why it matters nowHuman infections with currently circulating avian A(H5) clade 2.3.4.4b viruses remain rare despite widespread animal circulation; the assessed EU/EEA risk is low for the general public and low-to-moderate for those with occupational exposure to infected animals or contaminated environments.
EFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority
Why it matters nowThe abstract reports that human infections remained infrequent despite circulation in animal populations. It also describes low reported risk for the general public in the EU/EEA and low-to-moderate reported risk for people occupationally or otherwise exposed to infected animals or contaminated environments.
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Why it matters nowBecause P. knowlesi is often misidentified as human malaria and can cause severe and fatal disease, understanding its distribution is critical for identifying areas where malaria transmission will persist after human malarias are eliminated. The map provides an initial evidence base for surveillance prioritization in malaria-eliminating countries.
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Why it matters nowThe article identifies urgent needs to expand surveillance activities and ensure mass drug administration for populations at risk for intestinal helminth infections, fluke infections, lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, and yaws, while referencing the ASEAN Network for Drugs, Diagnostics, Vaccines, and Traditional Medicines Innovation as a policy framework for developing new control tools.
