Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

Molecular Evidence of Human T‑Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Transmission by Needlestick Injury in Healthcare Workers

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Human T‑cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‑1) is a retrovirus that spreads primarily through cell‐to‐cell transmission. Occupational transmission of HTLV‐1 by needlestick injury is considered exceedingly rare, with no reported molecularly confirmed cases.

Use of Dried Blood Spots for Identifying Hepatitis E Infections in an Outbreak Setting

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate and accessible diagnostics for hepatitis E virus (HEV) are essential for outbreak preparedness and surveillance, particularly in low‐resource settings. Dried blood spots (DBS) are a scalable alternative to serum, but their diagnostic performance for HEV remains poorly characterised.

Q Fever in Africa: A Systematic Review of Prevalence, Zoonotic Potential and Disease Burden

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Q fever is widespread across Africa, with livestock as the primary source of human infections. Although some prevalence data exist, its economic burden is still lacking. The findings underscore the need for a One Health approach that integrates surveillance, economic assessment and control to reduce the disease burden.
