Impact of Indirect Contacts in Emerging Infectious Disease on Social Networks [PDF]
Interaction patterns among individuals play vital roles in spreading infectious diseases. Understanding these patterns and integrating their impact in modeling diffusion dynamics of infectious diseases are important for epidemiological studies. Current network-based diffusion models assume that diseases transmit through interactions where both infected

Immunization of Chickens for the Control of Infectious Bursal Disease
Abstract Six experiments were conducted involving 790 chickens inoculated with IBD (infectious bursal disease) vaccine produced at this station to determine a suitable age and route of vaccination. Vaccinated birds resisted a challenge dose that caused 10–20% mortality among unvaccinated challenged controls; whereas, there were no deaths among ...

Geographically-dependent individual-level models for infectious diseases transmission [PDF]
Infectious disease models can be of great use for understanding the underlying mechanisms that influence the spread of diseases and predicting future disease progression. Modeling has been increasingly used to evaluate the potential impact of different control measures and to guide public health policy decisions.

Adaptation And Attenuation Of Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus In Avian And Mammalian Cell Cultures For Vaccine Development [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is an immunosuppressive virus causing infectious bursal disease (IBD) outbreaks since 1957. The economic impact of IBD is influenced by strain of virus, route of infection, intercurrent primary and secondary ...

IBDV particles packaged with only segment A dsRNA [PDF]
Multi-segmented dsRNA viruses have been suggested to utilize cis-acting elements in the plus-strand RNA to accomplish genomic RNA assortment during viral packaging. It is not clear if bi-segmented dsRNA birnavirus uses the same strategy.

ABSTRACT Background Modulators have revolutionized cystic fibrosis (CF) management, but their effects on respiratory pathogens remain unclear. This study evaluated changes in lower respiratory tract pathogen detection after modulator therapy in children with CF, registered in the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Turkey.

Antibiotic treatment, duration of infectiousness, and disease transmission [PDF]
Humans, domestic animals, orchard crops, and ornamental plants are commonly treated with antibiotics in response to bacterial infection. By curing infectious individuals, antibiotic therapy might limit the spread of contagious disease among hosts. But an antibiotic`s suppression of within-host pathogen density might also reduce the probability that the

Molecular and Biological Characterization of Two Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Isolates, Upm94/273 and Upm97/61 [PDF]
An atypical very virulent (w) strain (UPM94/273) and typical vv strain (UPM97/61) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBOV) isolated in Malaysia, were characterized both in vivo and at the molecular level.
