Classifying Latent Infection States in Complex Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Algorithms for identifying the infection states of nodes in a network are crucial for understanding and containing infections. Often, however, only a relatively small set of nodes have a known infection state. Moreover, the length of time that each node has been infected is also unknown.

How do infectious diseases affect high‐performance athletes? Norovirus during the Lima 2019 Pan American Games

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Background and Aims The incidence of infectious diseases among athletes during international competitions is a concern for public health. In this study, we aim to report six cases of norovirus‐associated gastroenteritis among athletes in Lima 2019 Pan American Games, a multisport event held in Peru.

Involvement of workers in closed and semiclosed institutions in outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis due to norovirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Norovirus outbreaks frequently occur in closed or semiclosed institutions. Recent studies in Catalonia and various countries indicate that, during outbreaks in these institutions, norovirus is detected in between 23% and 60% of workers, and the ...

Development of a reverse transcriptase digital droplet polymerase chain reaction‐based approach for SARS‐CoV‐2 variant surveillance in wastewater

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 96, Issue 3, March 2024.
Novel RT‐ddPCR methods are validated for the detection and quantification of SARS‐CoV‐2 variants for the wastewater surveillance. This adaptable approach aids in real‐time monitoring, crucial for rapid response to emerging infectious diseases and informing public health decisions.

Pandemic preparedness: On the efficacy of non‐pharmaceutical interventions in COVID‐19 and about approaches to predict future pandemic viruses

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract With three major viral pandemics over the last 100 years, namely the Spanish flu, AIDS and COVID‐19 each claiming many millions of lives, pandemic preparedness has become an important issue for public health. The economic, social and political consequences of the upheaval caused by such pandemics also represent a major challenge for ...

Numerical considerations about the SIR epidemic model with infection age [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
We analyse the infection-age-dependent SIR model from a numerical point of view. First, we present an algorithm for calculating the solution the infection-age-structured SIR model without demography of the background host. Second, we examine how and under which conditions, the conventional SIR model (without infection-age) serves as a practical ...

Direct Detection of Viral Infections from Swab Samples by Probe‐Gated Silica Nanoparticle‐Based Lateral Flow Assay

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2024.
Here, universal‐modifiable probe‐gated silica nanoparticles (SNPs) based lateral flow assay (LFA) is developed in the interest of the rapid and early detection of viral infections. The most superior advantage of the rapid assay is its utility in detecting various sides of the virus directly from the human swab samples and its adaptability to detect ...
