Tracking disease outbreaks [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2002 Scientists have come one step closer to tracking outbreaks of bartonellosis, a potentially fatal vector‐borne disease. Outbreaks of the disease, which was once thought to be found primarily in the high Andes Mountains of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, may be related to El Ni˜no events, according to researchers with NASA and the U.S.

Estimating the frequency and characteristics of respiratory disease outbreaks at mass gatherings in the United States: Findings from a state and local health department assessment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mass gatherings create environments conducive to the transmission of infectious diseases. Thousands of mass gatherings are held annually in the United States; however, information on the frequency and characteristics of respiratory disease outbreaks and ...

Shifting the paradigm: using disease outbreaks to build resilient health systems
BMJ Global Health, 2020 ### Summary box Disease outbreaks and health emergencies cause substantial human suffering, death and economic loss. Such events push weak health systems to a breaking point, as witnessed during recent outbreaks of cholera, drug-resistant tuberculosis ...

Historical parallels, Ebola virus disease and cholera: understanding community distrust and social violence with epidemics [PDF]
, 2016 In the three West African countries most affected by the recent Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, resistance to public health measures contributed to the startling speed and persistence of this epidemic in the region.

Modelling Major Disease Outbreaks in the 21st Century: A Causal Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Epidemiologists aiming to model the dynamics of global events face a significant challenge in identifying the factors linked with anomalies such as disease outbreaks. In this paper, we present a novel method for identifying the most important development sectors sensitive to disease outbreaks by using global development indicators as markers.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Integrating selective RNA shortcut, targeted gene isolation, and micro‐arrayed nanoimaging, the NanoPick‐array platform excels in detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) at just 60 copies µL−1 and accurately differentiating variants at the single‐nucleotide level. It ensures 100% accuracy for samples with cycle threshold (

Chaos in disease outbreaks among prey [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractEpidemics are highly unpredictable, and so are real-world population dynamics. In this paper, we examine a dynamical model of an ecosystem with one predator and two prey species of which one carries a disease. We find that the system behaves chaotically for a wide range of parameters.

Virus‐Assembled Biofunctional Microarrays with Hierarchical 3D Nano‐Reticular Network
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Virus‐assembled microdots with a wrinkled pattern induced by the high‐pressure carbon dioxide method show a morphology similar to sunflowers. Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) hierarchical wrinkled materials built with biological entities have so far remained exclusive to nature.
