Transactions: Volume 119, Issue 11, November 2025
Highlights this month include a review into integrated vector management that evaluates its effectiveness at reducing the transmission of Malaria; an investigation into whether the biodiversity of predator species can be an effective method to reducing the transmission of new and existing Filovirus in Africa. This issue also features a case study of how a life-threatening immune disorder can be triggered by the bacteria carried in tick bites and an original study identifying nerve damage in leprosy patients after initiating treatment with a multidrug therapy.
