Interesting new paper on value of serological surveillance for reconstructing epidemics: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... And accompanying comment by @scauchemez.bsky.social: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Few years ago, an intern in the team explored historical archives and identified a fascinating report describing with great detail the large French cholera epidemic of 1892. The modelling analysis of these data has now been published in Epidemics. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪

Very interesting framework developed by @meganodris.bsky.social to jointly infer epi and antigenic parameters from multi-pathogen serology!

Symposium & workshop on inequalities in infectious disease dynamics at LSHTM in April 2026. We aim to will bring together leading researchers and practitioners to share ideas, discuss recent advances, and reflect on future directions. Details & application: iddconf.org/lshtm-sympos... Closing 21 Jan

Just a few more days to apply to our 1-week course on Infectious Disease Modelling that will take place at Institut Pasteur, March 9-13 2026, in beautiful Paris! Application deadline: 15 December. www.pasteur.fr/en/education...

A couple of infectious disease modelling starter packs that may be of interest. 👇

H3N2 preprint: there are concerns of a severe incoming influenza season due to the drifted H3N2 K clade. We at @psioxford.bsky.social analysed epi data and ran scenario models to see what we could discern about K clade transmission dynamics: zenodo.org/records/1770.... (1/18)

Two days of great scientific discussions with >100 infectious disease modellers during the annual meeting of FRAME (the French Research Action on Modelling Epidemics), supported by @anrs-mie.bsky.social. What a fantastic research community!

A new model sheds light on the seasonal dynamics of plague in Madagascar — a step toward better prevention through a One Health approach. 🔗 Read more: www.pasteur.fr/en/research-... @scauchemez.bsky.social @abrault.bsky.social @fanohi.bsky.social

Infectious Disease Modelling starter pack update! Many more modellers have joined Bluesky recently so this update is overdue. Pls keep on sending suggestions! (bio should contain experience relevant for this pack) IDModelling pack 1: go.bsky.app/86Ao1a5 IDModelling pack 2 : go.bsky.app/2oBB7KX

Just few days left to apply to one of these postdoc positions in my infectious disease modelling Unit at @pasteur.fr in Paris!

Great collaboration with Institut Pasteur Madagascar showing how rat and flea dynamics drive plague seasonality, with important implications for control strategies against plague in @pnas.org!

New postdoc positions with a number of exciting epidemic modelling projects opening in our Unit at @pasteur.fr in beautiful Paris. Deadline for applications: 26th June. research.pasteur.fr/en/job/postd...

Thrilled for the latest work from @comunelab.bsky.social ! We introduce a multilayer + multiscale model in two distinct frameworks (particle- & force-based), identifying how to balance contact and mobility cuts to mitigate epidemics. #ComplexSystems www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪🦠

📊💉 Following the success of its first interface day dedicated to surveillance in 2023, the Modelling network of the @anrs-mie.bsky.social is pleased to be organising today a new interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral event dedicated to the contribution of modelling to vaccinology

Big turnout today in Paris to show solidarity with US-based scientists ❤️ 🗽 #StandUpforScienceFrance @pasteur.fr

Science, research & public health face unprecedented attacks in the U.S. We stand with our American colleagues & support the Stand Up for Science call. Join the global march tomorrow, incl. in Paris! 🧪✊ 📍 March 7, 13:30 – Place Jussieu 🔗 More info: standupforscience.fr #StandUpForScience

www.pasteur.fr/fr/espace-pr... Un sujet quelque peu dans l'air du temps.

Pathogen genomes can provide insights into underlying disease transmission patterns but new methods are needed to analyze large genome datasets. Our work using identical pathogen sequences to characterize fine scale SARS-CoV-2 transmission was just published in @nature.com tinyurl.com/bdzk9xjj 🥳

During COVID years in France, the SocialCov survey showed major evolution and strong heterogeneities in contact patterns according to age, employment, weekend/vacation. Led by @paolobosetti.bsky.social and @lullaopatowski.bsky.social. bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

AI is poised to accelerate understanding in infectious diseases, but its value needs to be demonstrated through close collaboration between research, industry, society, and policy. Paper free to read: rdcu.be/eaxEw Summary here: www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-02...

Wastewater from airplane toilets? We introduce a global Aircraft-Based Wastewater Surveillance Network (WWSN) for pandemic monitoring in Nature Medicine 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415... Aircraft-based wastewater surveillance allows for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of global pathogen spread Short 🧵

Serological data provide key insights on pathogen circulation. We introduce a new R package, Rsero, which is a pipeline to store and analyze age-stratified sero data, estimate the history of pathogen circulation and compare different transmission models. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Consider applying to 2nd ESPIDAM summer program on infectious disease modelling, 23-27 June, in beautiful Stockholm! Covering many exciting topics (AI & ID, now/forecasting, networks, within-host models, data analysis...). So much to learn and great scientific discussions! www.math.su.se/espidam

It might be a day or two — or potentially longer — before health officials in DRC can determine what is the cause of an outbreak in a remote part of the country where 382 cases, 79 of them fatal, have been reported. Samples had to be transported >500 km for testing. www.statnews.com/2024/12/05/m...
