New anticancer therapies with potential cardiovascular side effects are continuously being introduced into clinical practice, with new and often unexpected toxicities becoming apparent only after clinical introduction. These unknown toxicities should be identified and understood beforehand to better prepare patients and physicians, enabling the ...

Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the Middle East Caused by an A/ASIA/G-VII Virus Lineage, 2015–2016
Phylogenetic analyses of foot-and-mouth disease type A viruses in the Middle East during 2015–2016 identified viruses belonging to the A/ASIA/G-VII lineage, which originated in the Indian subcontinent.

Transition between immune and disease states in a cellular automaton model of clonal immune response [PDF]
In this paper we extend the Celada-Seiden (CS) model of the humoral immune response to include infectious virus and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (cellular response). The response of the system to virus involves a competition between the ability of the virus to kill the host cells and the host's ability to eliminate the virus.

Swine fever and African swine fever [PDF]
PIGS may become infected by viruses which also cause disease in other animals (for instance foot-and-mouth disease) but there are two virus diseases worthy of special mention because they cause clinical disease in pigs ...

Modelling the spread of foot-and-mouth disease virus. [PDF]
Foot-and-mouth disease is an economically important viral disease in animals. It is shown that airborne diffusion is one of the main sources of contamination between animals and between herds. Epidemiological data linked to viral particle excretion can thus be used in a predictive model, added to meteorological data related to the few days before the ...

Molecular mechanisms of suppression of host innate immunity by foot-and-mouth disease virus
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute and highly contagious animal disease caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The outbreaks of FMD have brought huge economic losses and the disease has been considered as one of the most harmful infectious ...

Modelling the Transmission Dynamics of Nipah Virus with Optimal Control [PDF]
A deterministic mathematical model is formulated and analyzed to study the transmission dynamics of Nipah virus both qualitatively and numerically. Existence and stability of equilibria were investigated and the model was rigorously analyzed. We then incorporated time dependent controls on the model, using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle to derive ...

Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Application of Mathematical Epidemiology to crop vector-borne diseases. The cassava mosaic virus disease case [PDF]
In this chapter, an application of Mathematical Epidemiology to crop vector-borne diseases is presented to investigate the interactions between crops, vectors, and virus. The main illustrative example is the cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The CMD virus has two routes of infection: through vectors and also through infected crops.

Discrete-time Layered-network Epidemics Model with Time-varying Transition Rates and Multiple Resources [PDF]
This paper studies a discrete-time time-varying multi-layer networked SIWS (susceptible-infected-water-susceptible) model with multiple resources under both single-virus and competing multi-virus settings. Besides the human-to-human interaction, we also consider that the disease can diffuse on different types of medium. We use \emph{resources} to refer
