The SIR model in a moving population: propagation of infection and herd immunity [PDF]
In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate $\nu$.

Prospective study of community-acquired rotavirus infection [PDF]
We determined titers of group A rotavirus common antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against serotypes 1 to 4 of prototype human rotavirus (HRV) in cord blood and serum specimens obtained from 38 infants at 4-month intervals from birth until 2 years of age.

Optimized workplace risk mitigation measures for SARS-CoV-2 in 2022
596 million SARS-CoV-2 cases have been reported and over 12 billion vaccine doses have been administered. As vaccination rates increase, a gap in knowledge exists regarding appropriate thresholds for escalation and de-escalation of workplace COVID-19 ...

Official statements of the board of experts on the use of topical thiamphenicol in patients with communityacquired respiratory infections [PDF]
Currently, there is a steady growth antimicrobial resistance (AMP) worldwide. This is especially true now when antibiotic use has become uncontrolled due to its use in COVID-19 treatment regimens.

Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]
We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.

Background: Septicemia in neonates is one of the leading causes of mortality. The increasing number of multidrug-resistant pathogens is a serious concern.

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]
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.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
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.

Nosocomial and Community-acquired Acinetobacter Infections [PDF]
Members of the genus Acinetobacter are involved in a wide spectrum of infections. Although this organism is mainly associated with nosocomial infections, these bacteria have been recently shown involved in community-acquired infection. Over 1,000 published papers refer to “infections by antibiotic resistant acinetobacter in the international literature.

Surveillance of acute community acquired urinary tract bacterial infections
Objective: To record the antibiotic resistance of community acquired uropathogens over a period of 24 months (May 2011–April 2012). Methods: Urine samples from patients of outpatient department (OPD) were used for isolating urinary tract infection (UTI ...
