Optimal group testing designs for estimating prevalence with uncertain testing errors [PDF]
, 2017 We construct optimal designs for group testing experiments where the goal is to estimate the prevalence of a trait by using a test with uncertain sensitivity and specificity. Using optimal design theory for approximate designs, we show that the most efficient design for simultaneously estimating the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity requires ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Mathematical Models for Predicting and Mitigating the Spread of Chlamydia Sexually Transmitted Infection [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and is major cause of infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancy among women. Despite decades of screening women for Ct, rates continue to increase among them in high prevalent areas such as New Orleans.

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

Chlamydia trachomatis Infections of the Adults [PDF]
, 2012 Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is one of the major bacterial agent of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) worldwide. It is a causative agent of urogenital, ocular and pneumonic infections, causing annually 92 million new infections worldwide. It is responsible for a wide range of infections, including trachoma (a chronic conjuctivitis, which is the ...

Plastids in a Pinch: Coordinating Stress and Developmental Responses Through Retrograde Signalling
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plastids are crucial for fuelling and regulating plant growth and development. Photosynthesising chloroplasts provide energy for growth, while other plastids play additional key roles in various aspects of plant physiology. For function and development, plastids greatly depend on nucleus‐encoded proteins, and they can modulate the synthesis of

Gametocyte carriage in Plasmodium falciparum-infected travellers. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Gametocytes are the sexual stage of Plasmodium parasites. The determinants of gametocyte carriage have been studied extensively in endemic areas, but have rarely been explored in travellers with malaria.
