Autoimmunity in human CE: Correlative with the fertility status of the CE cyst
Helminthologia, 2022 Cystic echinococcosis is speculated to exert several immune-evasion strategies involving autoimmune-phenomena. We evaluated the hypothesizes that the prevalence of autoantibodies increases in the sera of CE patients that may evidence the association ...

Strength and weakness of disease-induced herd immunity in networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 When a fraction of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease, the population-wide infection risk decreases nonlinearly due to collective protection, known as herd immunity. Some studies based on mean-field models suggest that natural infection in a heterogeneous population may induce herd immunity more efficiently than homogeneous ...

Tachyon Backgrounds in 2D String Theory [PDF]
JHEP 0510 (2005) 014, 2005 We consider the construction of tachyonic backgrounds in two-dimensional string theory, focusing on the Sine-Liouville background. This can be studied in two different ways, one within the context of collective field theory and the other via the formalism of Toda integrable systems. The two approaches are seemingly different.

Characteristic features of the SERA multigene family in the malaria parasite
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Serine repeat antigen (SERA) is conserved among species of the genus Plasmodium. Sera genes form a multigene family and are generally tandemly clustered on a single chromosome. Although all Plasmodium species encode multiple sera genes, the number varies
