Helminth Dynamics: Mean Number of Worms, Reproductive Rates [PDF]

open access: yesHandbook of Statist., 36, Elsevier/North-Holland, Amsterdam, 2017, 2019
We derive formulas to compute mean number of worms in a newly Helminth infected population before secondary infections are started (population is closed). We have proved the two types of growth functions arise in this process as measurable functions.

Effect of Heterogeneous Mixing and Vaccination on the Dynamics of Anthelmintic Resistance: A Nested Model [PDF]

open access: yesSabatelli L (2010) Effect of Heterogeneous Mixing and Vaccination on the Dynamics of Anthelmintic Resistance: A Nested Model. PLoS ONE 5(5): e10686. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0010686, 2010
Anthelmintic resistance is a major threat to current measures for helminth control in humans and animals. The introduction of anthelmintic vaccines, as a complement to or replacement for drug treatments, has been advocated as a preventive measure. Here, a computer-based simulation, tracking the dynamics of hosts, parasites and parasite-genes, shows ...

Helminths and Immunological Tolerance [PDF]

open access: yesTransplantation, 2014
Current immunosuppression regimens for solid-organ transplantation have shown disappointing efficacy in the prevention of chronic allograft rejection and carry unacceptable risks including toxicity, neoplasia, and life-threatening infection. Achievement of immunological tolerance (long-term antigen unresponsiveness in an immunocompetent host) presents ...
