Human adenovirus (HAdV) was frequently associated with acute respiratory disease (ARD) outbreaks in military camps.

HAdV-B7, HAdV-B14, and HAdV-B55 were determined to be responsible for 3, 2, and 4 ARD outbreaks in military camps, China, respectively, with a total attack rate of 28.0% during 2011 to 2014.

The findings suggest that vaccine development and administration in military camps must be prioritized. Quarantining among new recruits before entering into the military and the identification of the major responsible genotypes at the current stage is warranted.

Malaria control was affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study conducted active case finding for key flights and key populations to determine malaria transmission.

Surveillance for malaria was conducted for entry personnel coming from areas affected by malaria. It is estimated that at least 100,000 tests were conducted in Guangdong Province; 154 cases were confirmed during the surveillance.

To maintain the malaria elimination status, comprehensively maintaining a sensitive and effective surveillance response system is especially important.

Identifying the most influential spreaders in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission networks is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

This study identified key nodes of the HIV molecular transmission network among men who have sex with men (MSM) by utilizing linkages between sequences to reconstruct the transmission network at the molecular level.

This study could act as an important supplement of laboratory results to epidemiological studies and suggests that interdisciplinary research could inspire new ideas for finding breakthroughs on HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention and control.
