Background Canine parvovirus (CPV) and feline parvovirus (FPV) are causative agents of diarrhea in dogs and cats, which manifests as depression, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, leucopenia, and diarrhea in young animals. CPV and FPV can single or mixed

Accuracy of models for the 2001 foot-and-mouth epidemic [PDF]
Since 2001 models of the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, supported by the data from the UK epidemic, have been expounded as some of the best examples of problem-driven epidemic models.

Eight challenges for network epidemic models [PDF]
Networks offer a fertile framework for studying the spread of infection in human and animal populations. However, owing to the inherent high-dimensionality of networks themselves, modelling transmission through networks is mathematically and ...

On the Duration of an Epidemic
A stochastic SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) model for the spread of a non-lethal disease is considered. The size of the population is constant. The problem of computing the moment-generating function of the random time until all members of the population are recovered is solved in special cases.

Topographic determinants of foot and mouth disease transmission in the UK 2001 epidemic [PDF]
Background A key challenge for modelling infectious disease dynamics is to understand the spatial spread of infection in real landscapes. This ideally requires a parallel record of spatial epidemic spread and a detailed map of susceptible host density ...

Background Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is a garlic-derived organosulfur compound. As it has been shown to have anti-viral activity, we hypothesized that it may alleviate infections caused by H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV), which is prevalent in poultry ...

Epidemic modelling by ripple-spreading network and genetic algorithm [PDF]
Mathematical analysis and modelling is central to infectious disease epidemiology. This paper, inspired by the natural ripple-spreading phenomenon, proposes a novel ripple-spreading network model for the study of infectious disease transmission.

The spatial distribution and breeding behavior of neighbors affect the reproductive success of tits
The spatial distribution and breeding behavior of neighboring birds (conspecific and heterospecific) may influence reproduction and the effects differ across species.

The Dramaturgy of Epidemics [PDF]
My essay focuses on Charles Rosenberg's provocative and enduring ideal type of epidemic drama in three acts, which he assembled from a vast knowledge of disease history that stretched from the end of the seventeenth century to his then-present pandemic, HIV/AIDS of the 1980s.
