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.

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!

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
