South Korea implemented restrictions on travel from China in January of 2023. In this scenario-based model, we estimated that the travel restrictions for inbound travellers from China were associated with a 0.3–9.8% decrease in the internal spread of SARS-CoV-2 in South Korea (95% Confidence Interval, 0.2–11.7%).

Highlights: Here we present the first human case of Influenza A H5N1 infection in Chile, and the fifth worldwide in 2023. The patient is a 53-year-old man who lives in the north region of Chile, near the seashore. The Chilean sample was subtyped in the clade 2.3.4.4b.

Meta Analysis
Viral load dynamics and shedding kinetics of mpox infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Viral load dynamics and shedding kinetics are critical factors for studying infectious diseases. However, evidence on the viral dynamics of mpox remains limited and inconclusive. Thus, we aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the viral load and viability of the re-emerged mpox virus since 2022. ⋯ Skin lesion, anorectal and saliva samples contained the highest viral load. The peak viral load manifests within 4-8 days after symptom onset, and viable virus detection was presumed to cease within 14-19 days from symptom onset in anorectal, saliva and urethral samples.
