Higher education institutions are accustomed to sudden and abrupt jolts that provoke poor enrollments, unviable courses, unsustainable practices, budget cuts, job losses. Such a situation arose with the worldwide crisis of COVID-19 global mandate shift online teaching learning. Policies guidelines were based on available solutions, often implemented by leaders limited experience in education. As result, focus was transitioning rather than creating pragmatic policy changes. This article explores practices higher during pandemic investigates how affected learning across different countries. It also offers insights into adaptations made after pandemic, particularly within public health education, workforce training, healthcare, along actionable suggestions for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) lessons learned from these sectors. To highlight potential benefits AI we discuss AI-driven epidemiological modeling could play crucial role future outbreak preparedness, using ongoing monkeypox virus (Mpox) outbreaks as case study. Mpox continues emerge threat, remote has demonstrated importance preparing educational system uncertainties, including new outbreaks. The shown disruptions can catalyze reforms healthcare systems. Looking ahead, holds significant transforming epidemic preparedness predicting outbreaks, understanding their trajectories, even forecasting individual impact diseases analyzing immune responses. Integrating response frameworks save lives strengthen readiness crises.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has spread globally. Emerging studies have now provided evidence regarding MPXV transmission, that can inform rational evidence-based policies and reduce misinformation on this topic. We aimed to review the transmission of virus. Real-world isolated viable viruses from high-touch surfaces for as long 15 days. Strong suggests current circulating monkeypox (mpox) evolved previous outbreaks outside Africa, but it is yet unknown whether these mutations may lead an inherently increased infectivity also main route sexual; through either close contact or directly, with detection culturable in saliva, nasopharynx, sperm prolonged periods presence rashes mainly genital areas.

The World Health Organization declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022. To investigate global transmission and population-level changes associated with controlling spread, we built phylogeographic phylodynamic models to analyze MPXV genomes from five regions together air traffic epidemiological data. Our reveal community prior detection, case reporting throughout the epidemic, large degree heterogeneity. We find that viral introductions played limited role prolonging spread after initial dissemination, suggesting travel bans would have had only minor impact.

Contact tracing prevented about half potential cases, higher success rate contacts could significantly amplify its effectiveness. Notably, immunizing 23% highest activity (10 or more partners per year) completely prevent new resurgences. This research underscores importance augmenting tracing, targeted immunization campaigns high-risk groups, fostering reactive behavioral changes key strategies manage spread emerging sexually transmitted pathogens like community.
