PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundTaenia pisiformis is one of the most common intestinal tapeworms and can cause infections in canines. Adult T. pisiformis (canines as definitive hosts) and Cysticercus pisiformis (rabbits as intermediate hosts) cause significant health problems

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp
531-570, 2015 Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.

Acta Medica Iranica, 2020 Echinococcus cystic infection is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of cestode species belonging to the genus Echinococcus. Through the modulation of the immune system by this parasite, there is an established link of this infection with the

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.

Mast Cell Response to Cestode Infection
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1963 SummaryMast cells have been found in the cyst wall of a larval cestode parasite (Hydatigena taeniaeformis). The mast cells were present in the outer 2 layers of the cyst wall. This indicates that the entire cyst wall is of host-inflammatory origin and not derived from parasite tissue nor solely from modified host-liver cells.

A molecular survey of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato in central-eastern Europe [PDF]
, 2016 Central-eastern Europe is an endemic region for cystic echinococcosis where multiple species of intermediate hosts are commonly infected with Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato tapeworms of major medical and veterinary importance.

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1990 Epidemiological surveys concerning cestodes of medical importance in Korea have been sporadically reported by many workers. Among various parasitic infections, cestode infections occur less frequently than other helminthiases, but they often cause serious clinical complications.

An age-of-infection model with both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We formulate a general age-of-infection epidemic model with two pathways: the symptomatic infections and the asymptomatic infections. We then calculate the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$ and establish the final size relation. It is shown that the ratio of accumulated counts of symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients is determined by ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of Tamoxifen against Larval Stage Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]
, 2014 Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. Chemotherapy currently employs benzimidazoles; however, 40% of cases do not respond favorably.

On the Universality of Jordan Centers for Estimating Infection Sources in Tree Networks [PDF]
, 2014 Finding the infection sources in a network when we only know the network topology and infected nodes, but not the rates of infection, is a challenging combinatorial problem, and it is even more difficult in practice where the underlying infection spreading model is usually unknown a priori. In this paper, we are interested in finding a source estimator
