Effects of immunization in small-world epidemics [PDF]
, 2001 The propagation of model epidemics on a small-world network under the action of immunization is studied. Although the connectivity in this kind of networks is rather uniform, a vaccination strategy focused on the best connected individuals yields a ...

Efficient Immunization Strategies for Computer Networks and Populations
, 2003 We present an effective immunization strategy for computer networks and populations with broad and, in particular, scale-free degree distributions. The proposed strategy, acquaintance immunization, calls for the immunization of random acquaintances of ...

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 2020 This review presents data on changes in measures of innate and adaptive immunity associated with the state of sleep. The effects of restricted and prolonged sleep duration on measures of morbidity, mortality, and susceptibility to infectious diseases and the effects of vaccination are discussed.

B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]
, 2013 We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by

Immunization of networks with community structure
, 2009 In this study, an efficient method to immunize modular networks (i.e., networks with community structure) is proposed. The immunization of networks aims at fragmenting networks into small parts with a small number of removed nodes.

Immunization Dynamics on a 2-layer Network Model
, 2003 We introduce a 2-layer network model for the study of the immunization dynamics in epidemics. Spreading of an epidemic is modeled as an excitatory process in a small-world network (body layer) while immunization by prevention for the disease as a dynamic

New England Journal of Medicine, 2019 This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they exist. The article ends with the authors’ clinical recommendations.
