Perspectives for pharmaceutical screening at XFEL sources using the example of Lassa virus endonuclease

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 1181-1194, October 2026.
To facilitate structure‐based drug development, XFEL sources are of paramount interest. Here, we analyse the feasibility and data quality of serial femtosecond X‐ray crystallography compound screening at Linac Coherent Light Source and compare it with PETRA III synchrotron experiments.

Mathematical Modeling of Pulse‐Seeded Metapopulation Dynamics for Andes Hantavirus Border Dispersal

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
A pulse‐seeded metapopulation SEIR model for Andes hantavirus maritime dispersal shows that heterogeneous quarantine compliance determines secondary outbreak risk. The weakest‐compliance country governs global containment, while uniform compliance above ∼65%$$ \sim 65\% $$ reduces the global reproduction number below unity.

Qualitative Assessment of One Health Operationalization at the Central Level and in Two Border Districts of Sierra Leone

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Implementation of the One Health approach in Sierra Leone was stronger at the central level than in districts and communities, where coordination, surveillance, workforce capacity, and funding were limited. Strengthening integrated systems and dedicated financing is essential for effective prevention and control of zoonotic disease threats.
