In this second paper, clade Ib mpox outbreak in Uvira primarily affected children under 15 years (63.7%), with limited reported sexual transmission. Occupational healthcare and workplace exposures were rare. The overall case fatality ratio was 0.7%, but high among HIV-positive and infants < 1 yr.

Mpox Clade Ib incubation periods are longer than previous MPXV estimates and vary by exposure route, with shorter periods for sexual transmission. These differences suggest the need to revise post-exposure monitoring guidelines. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Thanks to @oficialfiocruz.bsky.social colleagues for a fantastic visit to Salvador to kick-off our new RGHI project on the relationships between hygiene practices, a sewerage intervention, and enteric pathogen exposure! Read about it here: www.bahia.fiocruz.br/projeto-anal... @lshtm.bsky.social

On this World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, vaccines are a vital tool in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Let’s #Educate on their role in reducing antibiotic use, #Advocate for wider access, and #Act by supporting global immunisation efforts. Learn more: bit.ly/4eBegZa

An attempt to create a Starter Pack of everyone @lshtm.bsky.social currently here - probably of interest to a broad range of people interested in infectious diseases, epidemiology, stats, global health etc go.bsky.app/R9P96qR

🔊 We’re excited to co-host the AMR Data Symposium with @lshtm.bsky.social’s Centre for Data & Statistical Science for Health. This event brings together global experts in generating, analyzing, and using quantitative #AMR data to inform decision-making. Registration is now open👇 bit.ly/3z4rxLr

Proper treatment and disposal of wastes - both household and industrial - is key to limiting the emergence and spread of AMR. New WHO guidance gives us the tools necessary to begin regulating pollution from antibiotic manufacturing. @lshtmamrcentre.bsky.social
