Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Design of a Recombinant Multivalent Epitope Vaccine Based on SARS-CoV-2 and Its Variants in Immunoinformatics Approaches

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The development of an effective multivalent vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 variants is an important means to improve the global public health situation caused by COVID-19. In this study, we identified the antigen epitopes of the main global epidemic SARS-CoV-

Designing a multi-epitope based vaccine to combat Kaposi Sarcoma utilizing immunoinformatics approach

Scientific Reports, 2019
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) responsible for causing Kaposi sarcoma (KS), an opportunistic angioproliferative neoplasm is emerging rapidly. Despite this there is no permanent cure for this disease.

An Adaptive Management Model for Brown Bears in Hokkaido: Based on Total Population and the Number of Nuisance Bears

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Snowflake: A deep learning-based human leukocyte antigen matching algorithm considering allele-specific surface accessibility

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Histocompatibility in solid-organ transplantation has a strong impact on long-term graft survival. Although recent advances in matching of both B-cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes have improved understanding of allorecognition, the immunogenic ...

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

Immunogenicity of NS4b dengue 3 virus mimotope presented to the immune system as multiple antigen peptide system [PDF]

, 2013
The availability of random peptide libraries displayed on bacteriophage (RPL) has provided a powerful tool for selecting sequences that mimic binding properties of natural antigen epitopes (mimotopes). These mimotopes can be used for vaccine design, drug
