Since January 2020, Elsevier has established a COVID-19 resource center on Elsevier Connect, providing free information in English and Mandarin about the novel coronavirus. Elsevier grants permission to make all COVID-19-related research available in PubMed Central and other public repositories, with unrestricted reuse and analysis, as long as the resource center remains active. Infectious diseases remain a significant global health issue, causing millions of deaths annually. The book *Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases* by Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett, now in its seventh edition, reflects the ongoing challenges posed by these diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics, including basic principles, major clinical syndromes, infectious agents, and special problems. However, it is primarily tailored for developed countries, with limited coverage of diseases like tuberculosis and malaria, which are more prevalent in developing regions. The high cost and physical bulk of the book also limit its accessibility in high-income countries. The film *The Black Death* by Christopher Smith is set during the medieval period, focusing on the bubonic plague. It depicts a chaotic and violent world where characters seek vengeance against those blamed for the plague. The film draws comparisons to Ingmar Bergman’s *The Seventh Seal*, but differs in its portrayal of moral chaos and physical violence. While the film effectively conveys an atmosphere of fear and chaos, some viewers may find the metaphysical ponderings heavy-handed. An erratum for a review article by Webster, Farrar, and Rowland-Jones on dengue vaccine progress notes that RepliVax is a Sanofi Pasteur product.Since January 2020, Elsevier has established a COVID-19 resource center on Elsevier Connect, providing free information in English and Mandarin about the novel coronavirus.
