Genetic evidence for the association between COVID-19 epidemic severity and timing of non-pharmaceutical interventions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19 is challenging, partly due to variations in testing. Here, the authors use viral sequence data as an alternative means of inferring intervention effects, and show that delays in ...

A Model Infectious Disease Curriculum for Fourth Grade Students: Integrating Prevention and Education Concepts in the Classroom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Despite the significant need for prevention education and updated disease curricula in elementary schools, there is a deficit of model units, lesson plans, and activities at the fourth grade level.

Semiparametric Relative-risk Regression for Infectious Disease Data

open access: yes, 2012
This paper introduces semiparametric relative-risk regression models for infectious disease data based on contact intervals, where the contact interval from person i to person j is the time between the onset of infectiousness in i and infectious contact ...

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

Development of the gut microbiota during early life in premature and term infants

open access: yesGut Pathogens, 2023
Background The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota has been linked to health consequences throughout life, from early life illnesses (e.g. sepsis and necrotising enterocolitis) to lifelong chronic conditions such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Emerging Challenges and Opportunities in Infectious Disease Epidemiology. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Much of the intellectual tradition of modern epidemiology stems from efforts to understand and combat chronic diseases persisting through the 20th century epidemiologic transition of countries such as the United States and United Kingdom.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

The immunopathogenesis of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in children: diagnostics, treatment and prevention

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2022
Symptoms and outcomes for paediatric COVID‐19 differ vastly from those for adults, with much lower morbidity and mortality. Immunopathogenesis drives severe outcomes in adults, and it is likely that age‐related differences in both the innate and specific
