A new study by researchers at the Big Data Institute has shown that having current water contact is not necessarily indicative of a current schistosome infection. The study highlights the complex human-environmental drivers of transmission, showing that drivers of water contact and infection were largely distinct. The study is published in Nature Communications.

Vietnam remains a country with a high tuberculosis burden, with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) being particularly challenging to detect early, often leading to severe neurological sequelae in patients.
New analysis by researchers at Oxford Population Health, Imperial College London, and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has found that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections lead to 640,000 antibiotic prescriptions a year. The study highlights that interventions to reduce RSV infections, including the new UK vaccination programme, could help reduce antibiotic prescribing and therefore antibiotic resistance.
1.3 million women recruited over five years. Two decades of follow-up. Hundreds of research findings. It all adds up to the largest study of its kind in the world, and it\u2019s all thanks to the team at the NDPH for making it happen \u2013 as well as all the women who have taken part over the years.
Experts from across Europe joined forces to discuss research on substandard and falsified medical products and how to translate the evidence into policy and implementation.
