Antiviral activity of diallyl trisulfide against H9N2 avian influenza virus infection in vitro and in vivo

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2021
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 ...

The SIS epidemic model with Markovian switching [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Population systems are often subject to environmental noise. Motivated by Takeuchi et al. (2006), we will discuss in this paper the effect of telegraph noise on the well-known SIS epidemic model.

Epidemics on random graphs with tunable clustering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, a branching process approximation for the spread of a Reed-Frost epidemic on a network with tunable clustering is derived. The approximation gives rise to expressions for the epidemic threshold and the probability of a large outbreak in ...
