Summary Understanding the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID‐19 is crucial for informed decision‐making and resource allocation. A critical component of disease behaviour is the velocity with which disease spreads, defined as the rate of change between time and space.

Geographical Pattern of Testicular Cancer Points to Maternal Exposures Behind Increasing Incidence
ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that testicular cancer (TC) originates from germ cell neoplasia in situ arising during fetal development, implying that prenatal environmental exposures may influence disease risk. We investigated whether maternal place of residence during pregnancy is associated with regional variation in TC incidence.

Listeria monocytogenes internalin B activates junctional endocytosis to accelerate intestinal invasion. [PDF]
Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) uses InlA to invade the tips of the intestinal villi, a location at which cell extrusion generates a transient defect in epithelial polarity that exposes the receptor for InlA, E-cadherin, on the cell surface.

A Sequential Monte Carlo Method for Bayesian Poisson Process Trees
ABSTRACT Statistical analysis of spatial point patterns often needs to deal with heterogeneous structures in intensity function estimation with possibly high‐dimensional covariate space. Likelihood based inference for spatial point process models needs to address the challenges in evaluating the multidimensional integral of random intensity function ...

ABSTRACT Background Lip and oral cavity cancer (LOCC) represents a significant global health burden, with varying incidence rates across regions and populations. Understanding these trends is crucial for effective resource allocation and the development of targeted public health interventions.

Previous spatio-temporal COVID-19 prediction models have focused on the prediction of subsequent number of cases, and have shown varying accuracy and lack of high geographical resolution.

InlA enhances, but is not required for colonization of the murine intestines.
Female BALB mice were co-infected at night with a 1∶1 mixture of Lm InlAm and either wild type (wt) Lm EGDe or inlA deletion mutant (ΔinlA) for a total inoculum of 7–9×108 CFU.

Regional prevalence and spatial modeling of hypertension in South Africa
In 2000, hypertension was the cause of nearly 47,000 deaths in South Africa. Since then, its prevalence has increased from 25% to over 40% of the population.

RTMB: An R Package for Fitting Latent Variable Models With Template Model Builder
Hierarchical and latent variable models are fundamental in ecology, fisheries science, and epidemiology, but fitting them efficiently relies on automatic differentiation (AD) combined with approximations such as the Laplace approximation. RTMB is an R package that exposes the full power of TMB's AD machinery directly from plain R. Users write the joint
