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 ...

Tightness for the interface of the one-dimensional contact process
, 2010 We consider a symmetric, finite-range contact process with two types of infection; both have the same (supercritical) infection rate and heal at rate 1, but sites infected by Infection 1 are immune to Infection 2.

The Ly49E receptor inhibits the immune control of acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]
, 2016 The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in the blood upon infection and invades various cells. Parasites intensively multiply during the acute phase of infection and persist lifelong at low levels in tissues and blood during the chronic phase.

, 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

Identifying Infection Sources and Regions in Large Networks
, 2013 Identifying the infection sources in a network, including the index cases that introduce a contagious disease into a population network, the servers that inject a computer virus into a computer network, or the individuals who started a rumor in a social ...

Persistence time of SIS infections in heterogeneous populations and networks [PDF]
, 2017 For a susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) infection model in a heterogeneous population, we present simple formulae giving the leading-order asymptotic (large population) behaviour of the mean persistence time, from an endemic state to extinction of

Transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Nature Communications, 2020 SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is the first pandemic of the century. SARS-CoV-2 infection is transmitted through droplets; other transmission routes are hypothesized but not confirmed.

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 1992 Increased travel and outdoor leisure activities place the elderly individual at risk for infection with the endemic mycoses, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycoses, and sporotrichosis. Elderly patients who are immunosuppressed are at risk for infection with the opportunistic fungi such as Candida and Aspergillus.
