💡What are the implications? Ans: Social contact structure can affect the impact of PCVs and should be taken into consideration when estimating vaccine impact! (6/6)

🔍 We found that varying the social contact matrix alone led to a range of time-to-elimination (3.8-6 years). We further found that such variation was largely explained by the social contact features (total contact rate and assortativity) of children under 5. (5/6)

A big thank you to co-authors @PejRohani Tine Dalby @SSI_dk and @anabelle_wong! (6/6)

💡What is the implication? True infection burden is probably somewhere between reported case number and seropositivity-based estimates. Mathematical models integrating both data streams may get us a better estimate in the future! (5/6)

Integrating causal inference concepts with transmission models is necessary for inferring the effect of weather on infectious diseases and subsequently predicting the consequences of #climatechange on infectious diseases.

How does weather affect the transmission of infectious diseases, and how can we predict the effects of #climatechange on them? In our latest article published in @NatureEcoEvo, we explore these questions using #causalinference and #transmissionmodels. #Abs1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4155…
