Forward Hysteresis and Backward Bifurcation Caused by Culling in an Avian Influenza Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The emerging threat of a human pandemic caused by the H5N1 avian influenza virus strain magnifies the need for controlling the incidence of H5N1 infection in domestic bird populations. Culling is one of the most widely used control measures and has proved effective for isolated outbreaks. However, the socio-economic impacts of mass culling, in the face

Drug repurposing prediction for COVID-19 using probabilistic networks and crowdsourced curation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus two (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, represents an unprecedented global health challenge. Consequently, a large amount of research into the disease pathogenesis and potential treatments has been carried out in a short time frame.

Predicting Avian Influenza Co-Infection with H5N1 and H9N2 in Northern Egypt. [PDF]
, 2016 Human outbreaks with avian influenza have been, so far, constrained by poor viral adaptation to non-avian hosts. This could be overcome via co-infection, whereby two strains share genetic material, allowing new hybrid strains to emerge. Identifying areas

A Proactive Agent Collaborative Framework for Zero‐Shot Multimodal Medical Reasoning
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work proposes a multimodal medical collaborative reasoning framework, which imitates clinician's working patterns of comparative analysis. The framework includes a cohort of domain‐expert models, and an large language model learner agent to generate inquiries and interact with these experts to gather the essential information, and integrate the ...

Evaluating the Relationship Between Free-Living Biodiversity and Disease Risk Using Experimental Manipulations: An example from freshwater ponds of California [PDF]
, 2016 How changes in biodiversity affect infectious diseases remains largely unknown. As biodiversity on Earth continues to change, due both to invasive species introductions and native species losses, understanding this relationship will become increasingly ...

How, why, where and when people feed birds?—Spatio‐temporal changes in bird‐feeding in Finland
People and NatureProviding food to animals, especially birds, during winter is a common activity in many countries. While bird‐feeding can increase connections between people and nature, there are increasing calls from researchers and the general public to limit this ...

The Fast Wandering of Slow Birds [PDF]
, 2009 I study a single "slow" bird moving with a flock of birds of a different, and faster (or slower) species. I find that every "species" of flocker has a characteristic speed $\gamma\ne v_0$, where $v_0$ is the mean speed of the flock, such that, if the speed $v_s$ of the "slow" bird equals $\gamma$, it will randomly wander transverse to the mean ...
