Pattern of tick aggregation on mice: larger than expected distribution tail enhances the spread of tick-borne pathogens [PDF]
PLOS Computational Biology 10 (11): e1003931, 2014, 2014 The spread of tick-borne pathogens represents an important threat to human and animal health in many parts of Eurasia. Here, we analysed a 9-year time series of Ixodes ricinus ticks feeding on Apodemus flavicollis mice (main reservoir-competent host for tick-borne encephalitis, TBE) sampled in Trentino (Northern Italy).

Gut microbiome diversity in a febrile seizure mouse model [PDF]
EncephalitisPurpose Febrile seizures at a young age can provoke late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy. Since recent evidence has suggested that the gut microbiome affects central nervous system pathology across the blood-brain barrier, we hypothesized that febrile ...

AI-Based Decadal Predictive Analysis of Twenty Infectious Diseases in China with an Improved BSTS-MCMC Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This study embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the decadal trends and future trajectories of twenty distinct infectious diseases in China from 1998 to 2021. A refined Hybrid Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS)-Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) model is employed, intertwining with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to dissect intricate ...

Impact of climate change on West Nile virus distribution in South America [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 West Nile virus (WNV) is a vector-borne pathogen of global relevance and is currently the most widely distributed flavivirus of encephalitis worldwide. This virus infects birds, humans, horses, and other mammals, and its transmission cycle occurs in urban and rural areas. Climate conditions have direct and indirect impacts on vector abundance and virus
