    <description>The review frames schools as environments where vaccine-preventable diseases can spread and where outbreaks can disrupt normal activities. It also states that falling vaccination coverage may increase outbreak risk and that vaccination services, surveillance, and diagnostic capacity should be strengthened.</description>

    <description>The findings demonstrate how national surveillance data combined with modeling can guide elimination efforts and may motivate other high-burden countries to strengthen hepatitis B prevention policies. The study identifies specific, measurable intervention strategies to accelerate progress toward WHO elimination targets.</description>

    <description>The findings provide evidence of substantial HEV serological exposure in the studied swine herds and higher measured seropositivity among the sampled swine workers than in the comparison groups. The article therefore provides occupational and animal-human interface context for HEV in the study setting, without establishing causality or current population-level surveillance status.</description>

    <description>The findings suggest that HEV transmission in this population may differ from the classical oro-faecal route associated with genotypes 1 and 2, potentially reflecting zoonotic transmission via dietary meat consumption and socio-economic differences. Understanding transmission routes is important for prevention strategies.</description>
