Infection severity across scales in multi-strain immuno-epidemiological Dengue model structured by host antibody level [PDF]
Infection by distinct Dengue virus serotypes and host immunity are intricately linked. In particular, certain levels of cross-reactive antibodies in the host may actually enhance infection severity leading to Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The coupled immunological and epidemiological dynamics of Dengue calls for a multi-scale modeling approach.

Background: Pregnancy induces physiological decline in maternal immunity. Ebola virus disease (EVD) in pregnancy is associated with obstetrical complications, and vaccination in early pregnancy is recommended, but may not be without risk. Case Presentation: We described neonatal survival after spontaneous maternal EVD recovery. This neonate was born to
