Abstract: BackgroundMalaria persists in some high-transmission areas despite extensive control efforts. Progress toward elimination may require effective targeting of specific human populations that act as key transmission reservoirs.MethodsParameterized using molecular-based Plasmodium falciparum infection data from cross-sectional… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.61921
Abstract: Dengue virus (DENV) cycles between mosquito and mammalian hosts. To examine how DENV populations adapt to these different host environments, we used serial passage in human and mosquito cell lines and estimated fitness effects for… read more here.
