Increased dengue transmission following highway paving in the Peruvian Amazon
Abstract Rapid expansion of transportation infrastructure is transforming tropical environments, yet the health impacts of these changes remain poorly understood and are rarely accounted for in impact assessments. We apply a quasi-experimental approach to quantify the impact of highway paving on infectious disease transmission.

Climate and urbanization drive changes in the habitat suitability of Schistosoma mansoni competent snails in Brazil
Abstract Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Schistosoma parasites. Schistosoma are obligate parasites of freshwater Biomphalaria snails, so controlling snail populations is critical to reducing transmission risk. As snails are sensitive to environmental conditions, we expect their distribution is significantly impacted by global change.
Climate variables and urbanization drive changes in the distribution of S. mansoni competent snails in Brazil: novel results from a counterfactual analysis
Abstract Schistosomiasis is a debilitating neglected tropical disease caused by Schistosoma parasites. In the Americas, Brazil bears the largest burden of this disease with 2 to 6 million people currently infected. Schistosoma flukes are obligate parasites of freshwater Biomphalaria snails, thus controlling snail populations is critical to reducing schistosomiasis transmission risk.
Making Universal Basic Income a Reality: Just Press “Print”?
How we can fund monthly checks during COVID-19 This post is part of the Marshall Research Lab’s Post Pandemic series. To read the rest of the posts please click here. With now over 200,000 cases reported per day, the end of COVID-19 pandemic in the United States is seemingly nowhere in sight. Without a coordinated national plan to reduce spread of the virus, Americans are living under a patchwork of mask mandates, quarantine orders, social gathering restrictions, and business closures.
Potential effectiveness of long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention in men who have sex with men: a modelling study
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV infection in men who have sex with men (MSM); however, adherence is an ongoing concern. Long-acting injectable PrEP is being tested in phase 3 trials and could address challenges associated with adherence. We examined the potential effectiveness of long-acting injectable PrEP compared with oral PrEP in MSM. We used an agent-based model to simulate HIV transmission in a dynamic network of 11 245 MSM in Atlanta, GA, USA.
