Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 Protective immunity wanes rapidly after immunization of children with acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines and these vaccines do not prevent nasal colonization or transmission of Bordetella pertussis in baboons. In this study, we examined the role of tissue-

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. Studies based on mean-field models suggest that natural infection in a heterogeneous population may induce herd immunity more efficiently than homogeneous immunization ...

Extending SIRS epidemics to allow for gradual waning of immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 SIRS epidemic models assume that individual immunity (from infection and vaccination) wanes in one big leap, from complete immunity to complete susceptibility. For many diseases immunity on the contrary wanes gradually, something that's become even more evident during COVID-19 pandemic where also recently infected have a reinfection risk, and where ...
