, 2002 Infection, in particular by respiratory viruses, plays an important role in triggering exacerbations and has also been implicated in the etiology of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This chapter reviews the epidemiological evidence that implicates infectious pathogens as triggers.

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp
531-570, 2015 Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.

Role of C-Reactive Protein at Sites of Inflammation and Infection
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute inflammatory protein that increases up to 1,000-fold at sites of infection or inflammation. CRP is produced as a homopentameric protein, termed native CRP (nCRP), which can irreversibly dissociate at sites of ...

An age-of-infection model with both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We formulate a general age-of-infection epidemic model with two pathways: the symptomatic infections and the asymptomatic infections. We then calculate the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$ and establish the final size relation. It is shown that the ratio of accumulated counts of symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients is determined by ...

On the Universality of Jordan Centers for Estimating Infection Sources in Tree Networks [PDF]
, 2014 Finding the infection sources in a network when we only know the network topology and infected nodes, but not the rates of infection, is a challenging combinatorial problem, and it is even more difficult in practice where the underlying infection spreading model is usually unknown a priori. In this paper, we are interested in finding a source estimator

, 2012 This chapter provides an overview of the numerous patterns of different virus infections from the perspective of host organisms, and describes the major responses of plants and animals to virus infections. The scientific basis for prevention and treatment of virus diseases are also explained. Virus infection is a complex, multistage interaction between
