The well-worn path from armed conflict to measles resurgence

by José E. Hagan Armed conflict weakens immunization, surveillance, and socioeconomic resilience, increasing measles risk during and after war. Protecting routine vaccination in crises is a core emergency response. In this Perspective, José Hagan discusses how and why weakened immunization, surveillance, and socioeconomic resilience due to armed conflict increases measles risk during and after war, and outlines why protecting routine vaccination in crises should be a core emergency response.

Protocols for genomic epidemiology and source attribution of enteric bacteria causing diarrhoeal disease across Africa

Introduction Enteric bacterial pathogens are a major cause of diarrhoeal disease in low-income and middle-income countries, with complex transmission pathways involving human, animal and environmental reservoirs. Conventional epidemiological and microbiological approaches provide important insights into pathogen burden and distribution but lack the resolution needed to characterise fine-scale diversity, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and transmission dynamics. Whole-genome sequencing offers high-resolution tools to investigate these processes within a One Health framework. Methods and analysis…

Association of armed conflict and global measles cases: A structural equation modeling analysis of 193 countries from 2000 to 2023

by Tyler Y. Headley, Yesim Tozan Background Global armed conflict and population displacement are increasing, yet their association with population health remains poorly understood. We developed and tested four theoretical models linking armed conflict, population displacement, and socioeconomic development to measles burden across 193 countries from 2000 to 2023. Methods and findings We analyzed longitudinal country-level data comprising 4,632 country-year observations, combining fixed-effects panel regression and structural equation modeling (SEM). Observed variables included battle-related…
