NetSci 2026 is officially underway! Network thinkers from around the world have gathered for a week of great science, collaboration, and discovery. Today and tomorrow feature Satellite Sessions, a School Talk, and satellite posters—where ideas connect and new partnerships begin.
Our new rapid communication in @eurosurveillance.org: We currently observe mpox clade Ib transmission among MSM in Berlin. 35 cases mostly reported local exposure. Sequencing showed high genomic relatedness, suggesting a larger transmission network. Vaccination remains key. 🔗 doi.org/10.2807/1560...
🚨 NEW research⚕️ 🩺 Gubela et al. investigate the concomitant effects of sexual contact networks, transient contact reductions and the effect of infection- vs. vaccine-derived immunity on the 2022 mpox outbreak. http://dlvr.it/TRWYDL #Mpox #PublicHealth #BerlinHealth
Behavior change and infection induced immunity led to the decline of the 2022 Mpox outbreak in Berlin - Communications Medicine
Gubela et al. calibrate an adaptive agent-based model with intra-host dynamics to investigate the 2022 Mpox outbreak dynamics in Berlin. Behavioral change and infection-induced immunity are the main reasons for outbreak decline, while the effect of vaccination is marginal.

2️⃣Rascher Rückgang des #Mpox- Ausbruchs in Berlin 2022: Auch die Impfungen gegen #Mpox könnten zur Herden-Immunität beigetragen haben. Beitrag des Tagesspiegels dazu (hinter der Bezahlschranke): Notiz in Communications Medicine: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Mpox-Epidemie in Berlin: Warum die Impfung nicht entscheidend war, das Virus zu stoppen
Im Sommer 2022 wurde Berlin Hotspot für die „Affenpocken“. Warum ebbte die Epidemie wieder schnell ab? Eine Studie zeigt jetzt: Die Impfkampagne hatte daran einen nur kleinen Anteil. Für Pandemien läs...

Very pleased to see our latest work on sampling of spreading processes on adaptive temporal network published at @plos.org Complex Systems! Read more at doi.org/10.1371/jour... or find some information below 1/5🧵
Efficient and accurate simulation of infectious diseases on adaptive networks
Author summary Infectious disease spreading is often affected by the dynamics of human-human contacts. These contact dynamics may change over time, and in direct response to infection kinetics, throug...

Thank you to @complenet.bsky.social for the opportunity to present! Excited to have shared my work on diseases spreading on adaptive networks.
Session 4: Epidemics & Contagion I @complenet.bsky.social Thank you Paulo, Nils and Jesús. Feel free to contact them to know more. 🥳
📖 Neue @nature.com Publikation: Wie schnell verbreiten sich #SARSCoV2 -Varianten? Ein vom #RKI und Berliner Forschenden entwickeltes Modell zeigt, wie viele Menschen in bestimmten Regionen über einen gewissen Zeitraum empfänglich für verschiedene Virusvarianten sind. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
SARS-CoV-2 evolution on a dynamic immune landscape - Nature
A modelling approach predicts SARS-CoV-2 variant dynamics on the basis of immunity and cross-neutralization, which was shaped by a region’s SARS-CoV-2 infection history.
