Elevated l-threonine is a biomarker for Lassa fever and Ebola
Virology Journal, 2020 Background Lassa fever and Ebola are characterized by non-specific initial presentations that can progress to severe multisystem illnesses with high fatality rates.

Exact Inference for Stochastic Epidemic Models via Uniformly Ergodic Block Sampling [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Stochastic epidemic models provide an interpretable probabilistic description of the spread of a disease through a population. Yet, fitting these models to partially observed data is a notoriously difficult task due to intractability of the likelihood for many classical models.

Reconstruction of disease transmission rates: applications to measles, dengue, and influenza [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 400 (2016) 138-153, 2014 Transmission rates are key in understanding the spread of infectious diseases. Using the framework of compartmental models, we introduce a simple method that enables us to reconstruct time series of transmission rates directly from incidence or disease-related mortality data.

Ticks on the run: A mathematical model of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF)-key factors for transmission [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne zoonotic disease caused by the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). Ticks belonging to the genus \textit{Hyalomma} are the main vectors and reservoir for the virus. It is maintained in nature in an endemic vertebrate-tick-vertebrate cycle.

Hegemonic structure of basic, clinical and patented knowledge on Ebola research: a US army reductionist initiative [PDF]
Journal of Translational Medicine (2015) 13:124, 2016 Background: In this paper, we present an approach to understand how the basic, clinical and patent knowledge on Ebola is organized and intercommunicated and what leading factor could be shaping the evolution of the knowledge translation process for this disease.

Stability analysis of epidemic models of Ebola hemorrhagic fever with non-linear transmission
, 2016 Some Epidemic models with fractional derivatives were proved to be well-defined, well-posed and more accurate (Brockmann et al. [D. Brockmann, L. Hufnagel, Phys. Review Lett., 98 (2007), 17–27]; Doungmo Goufo et al. [E. F. Doungmo Goufo, R.
