    Abstract Recreational fishing with the principal motivation of leisure is associated with important economic, social and conservation values. Nonetheless, it is also a primary pathway for the introduction and spread of invasive non-native species and aquatic animal disease. Several studies have explored the overall biosecurity risk posed by recreational anglers based on self-reported behaviours and the awareness of biosecurity campaigns. Nonetheless, there has been little in-depth exploration of the characteristics of key stakeholders who are implementing biosecurity best practices and the barriers that prevent anglers from undertaking biosecurity measures in the field. This study addresses this knowledge gap using an online questionnaire to collect information on angler socio-demographic characteristics, voluntary biosecurity behaviour and barriers affecting the implementation of biosecurity best practices in Great Britain. The results indicated that cleaning behaviours vary considerably among anglers, with angling frequency and the number of pieces of equipment affecting how likely anglers were to clean and dry these items. High levels of disinfectant use were reported among anglers, potentially attributed to the concurrent advocation of disinfectant to prevent the spread of aquatic animal disease. Barriers affecting the implementation of correct cleaning behaviours included a combination of factors, such as practicality, disability, lack of available information and individual values. These findings illustrate the importance for fishery managers, water companies and policymakers to tailor prevention measures and facilities for anglers to maximise the practicality of biosecurity measures and encourage long-term implementation of best practices.

    Abstract Background: Paxlovid is authorized for the treatment of COVID-19 and must be used within the first 5 days of symptom onset. This limited window for initiating treatment makes rapid access critical. Federal Test-to-Treat programs provide tests, prescriptions, and medication in one visit3. Objective: The objective of this study was to map the location of and identify disparities in access to Test-to-Treat programs in the United States (U.S.). Methods: We obtained location data for public providers of Paxlovid and Test-to-Treat programs in the contiguous U.S. and examined their spatial distribution at the zip code tabulation area level. We defined zip codes as underserved if there was no Test-to-Treat program located within the zip code or within 20 miles of its boundaries. Results: More than 52,000,000 people, representing 16% of the continental U.S. population, do not have access to a Test-to-Treat program in their zip code or within 20 miles. The majority of zip codes representing metropolitan areas have a Test-to-Treat program within 20 miles (77%). In contrast, only 30% of small towns and 23% of rural areas have nearby access. Zip codes with a high proportion of Hispanic and Black residents were likely to have access to nearby Test-to-Treat programs (72%, 70%). In contrast, zip codes with a high proportion of Native American residents were likely to be underserved (70%). About half of high-poverty zip codes do not have access to a Test-to-Treat program within 20 miles. Discussion: Disparities in outcomes related to COVID-19 have been apparent since the beginning of the pandemic and continue to grow. While the multi-dimensional measure of social vulnerability was used to expand the federal Test-to-Treat program, some populations remain without access.

    Abstract Background: Existing ethics guidance and regulatory requirements emphasize the need for pregnancy-specific safety and efficacy data during the development of vaccines in health emergencies. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of vaccine clinical trials during active epidemic periods.
    Methods: We searched for Phase II and Phase III vaccine clinical trials initiated during the H1N1 influenza, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), Zika, and Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks from 2009 to 2019. Data were extracted from clinical trial protocols identified in the following registries: ClinicalTrials.gov, Pan African Clinical Trial Registry (PACTR), and all primary registries indicated by the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). Published studies from registered clinical trials were located through PubMed. Data was extracted on eligibility criteria and pregnancy outcomes. Data from this study is available in the Center for Open Science Data Repository: https://osf.io/nfk2p/?view_only=47deb3b206724af9b46c9c0c0083a267.
    Results: We identified 96 vaccine clinical trial protocols and included 84 in analysis. 5 records were excluded in screening for irrelevant abstracts, 7 were excluded in full-text assessment (1 for a therapeutic drug trial, 3 for enrolling elderly adults only, 3 for enrolling children/adolescents only). There were no eligible trials for MERS-CoV or Zika virus vaccines. Overall, 8 protocols explicitly included pregnant people; of these, 3 were completed trials with published results. Incidental pregnancies and outcomes of pregnant participants were reported in 2 studies, 10 studies reported serious adverse events related to pregnancy without mentioning total incidental pregnancies. A total of 411 recorded pregnancy outcomes were reported, with 293 from the 3 pregnancy-eligible studies with results. 71 serious adverse events pertaining to pregnancy were reported from all clinical trials with results.
    Conclusion: Pregnant people are underrepresented in vaccine clinical trials conducted during outbreaks, resulting in underreporting of pregnancy-related outcomes and a lack of protection for pregnant people and neonates from infectious diseases.
