Effect of heterogeneous risk perception on information diffusion, behavior change, and disease transmission. [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2020
Motivated by the importance of individual differences in risk perception and behavior change in people's responses to infectious disease outbreaks (particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), we propose a heterogeneous disease-behavior-information ...

Milk and meat consumption patterns and the potential risk of zoonotic disease transmission among urban and peri-urban dairy farmers in Ethiopia

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background In the Ethiopian dairy farming system, prevalence of zoonotic diseases such as bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is high in the cattle population. This, combined with some risky milk and meat consumption habits, such as raw milk and uninspected raw ...

Airflows inside passenger cars and implications for airborne disease transmission [PDF]

Science Advances, 2020
We assess the impact of airflow on airborne coronavirus transmission risk to occupants in passenger cars. Transmission of highly infectious respiratory diseases, including SARS-CoV-2, is facilitated by the transport of exhaled droplets and aerosols that ...

Rapid incidence estimation from SARS-CoV-2 genomes reveals decreased case detection in Europe during summer 2020

Nature Communications, 2021
The true number of infections from SARS-Cov-2 is unknown and believed to exceed the reported numbers by several fold. National testing policies, in particular, can strongly affect the proportion of undetected cases.

Plant neighbours can make or break the disease transmission chain of a fungal root pathogen

New Phytologist, 2021
Summary Biodiversity can reduce or increase disease transmission. These divergent effects suggest that community composition rather than diversity per se determines disease transmission.

Identification of HIV Mutation as Diagnostic Biomarker through Next Generation Sequencing [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Current clinical detection of Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) is used to target viral genes and proteins. However, the immunoassay, such as viral culture or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), lacks accuracy in the diagnosis, as these
