The genetic connectivity with endemic regions in Latin America, Africa, and South Asia underscores the need for integrated vector monitoring and genomic surveillance to inform prevention strategies. Dengue Chikungunya Yellow fever Surveillance Genomic epidemiology Genomic study Clinical outcomes among SARS-CoV-2 omicron-infected adults according to prior infection and vaccination history in Iran: A retrospective registry-based study https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1016-j-vaccine-2026-128868-6b4dc9ed/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1016-j-vaccine-2026-128868-6b4dc9ed/ Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT The findings provide context on observed hospitalization and mortality patterns among laboratory-confirmed Omicron cases according to documented prior immunity profiles in this Iranian registry population. The analysis does not estimate protection against acquiring infection.
