Global risk of selection and spread of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 and 3 gene deletions - Nature Medicine
A modeling approach to assess the global risk of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 and 3 gene deletions identifies ten priority African countries for surveillance and could inform malaria control policies.

Modelling transmission of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in camel populations and the potential impact of animal vaccination - Nature Communications
Outbreaks of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in humans are driven by spillover from camels, and vaccines for camels are in development. Here, the authors use mathematical modelling to explore transmission dynamics in camels and investigate potential impacts of vaccines.
