Local factors associated with on‐host flea distributions on prairie dog colonies
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Outbreaks of plague, a flea‐vectored bacterial disease, occur periodically in prairie dog populations in the western United States. In order to understand the conditions that are conducive to plague outbreaks and potentially predict spatial and temporal ...

Approaching a large deviation theory for complex systems [PDF]
Nonlinear Dyn. 106 (2021) 2537, 2020 The standard Large Deviation Theory (LDT) is mathematically illustrated by the Boltzmann-Gibbs factor which describes the thermal equilibrium of short-range-interacting many-body Hamiltonian systems, the velocity distribution of which is Maxwellian. It is generically applicable to systems satisfying the Central Limit Theorem (CLT).

Dermal neutrophil, macrophage and dendritic cell responses to Yersinia pestis transmitted by fleas. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is typically transmitted by the bite of an infected flea. Many aspects of mammalian innate immune response early after Y. pestis infection remain poorly understood.

New Pyridobenothiazolone Derivatives Display Nanomolar Pan‐Serotype Anti‐Dengue Virus Activity
ChemMedChem, EarlyView.A ligand‐based strategy is employed, starting from hit compound 2, to develop the C‐2 modified pyridobenzothiazolone 19 as a pan‐serotype nanomolar DENV‐1‐4 inhibitor. Investigations of the mechanism reveal the peculiar ability to abolish the infectivity of virions in a second infection.

The Ehrenfest urn revisited: Playing the game on a realistic fluid model [PDF]
Physical Review E 76 (1), 011104:1-6, 2007, 2005 The Ehrenfest urn process, also known as the dogs and fleas model, is realistically simulated by molecular dynamics of the Lennard-Jones fluid. The key variable is Delta z, i.e. the absolute value of the difference between the number of particles in one half of the simulation box and in the other half.

A 2015 outbreak of flea-borne rickettsiosis in San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles County, California
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Although flea-borne rickettsiosis is endemic in Los Angeles County, outbreaks are rare. In the spring of 2015 three human cases of flea-borne rickettsiosis among residents of a mobile home community (MHC) prompted an investigation.
