The Dynamics of Epidemic Model with Two Types of Infectious Diseases and Vertical Transmission [PDF]

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2016
An epidemic model that describes the dynamics of the spread of infectious diseases is proposed. Two different types of infectious diseases that spread through both horizontal and vertical transmission in the host population are considered. The basic reproduction numberR0is determined.

The network level reproduction number for infectious diseases with both vertical and horizontal transmission [PDF]

Mathematical Biosciences, 2013
A wide range of infectious diseases are both vertically and horizontally transmitted. Such diseases are spatially transmitted via multiple species in heterogeneous environments, typically described by complex meta-population models. The reproduction number is a critical metric predicting whether the disease can invade the meta-population system.

Control of mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases in Brazil: progress in HIV/AIDS and failure in congenital syphilis [PDF]

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2007
In Brazil, syphilis and HIV infection are considered serious public health problems. However, in practice, epidemiological surveillance, prevention measures, and prenatal care seem to be more effective in the control of mother-to-child transmission of the HIV than in the control of transmission of the Treponema pallidum. Here we discuss the differences

Predictions of the emergence of vaccine-resistant hepatitis B in The Gambia using a mathematical model [PDF]

, 2000
Vaccine escape variants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) have been identified world-wide. A mathematical model of HBV transmission is used to investigate the potential pattern of emergence of such variants.

Projetos de vida de adultos jovens portadores de HIV por transmissão vertical: estudo exploratório com usuários de um ambulatório de infectologia [PDF]

Saúde e Sociedade, 2012
Esta pesquisa teve o intuito de conhecer os projetos de vida de jovens adultos que convivem com o HIV/aids a partir da transmissão vertical, com relação a: estudo, trabalho e constituição familiar. Outro objetivo foi o de conhecer sua vivência no que diz respeito à assistência recebida. Como instrumentos, foram utilizados: questionário sociodemográfico

Evolutionary bi-stability in pathogen transmission mode [PDF]

, 2010
Many pathogens transmit to new hosts by both infection (horizontal transmission) and transfer to the infected host's offspring (vertical transmission).

Male-killing bacteria in insects: mechanisms, incidence and implications [PDF]

, 2000
Bacteria that are vertically transmitted through female hosts and kill male hosts that inherit them were first recorded in insects during the 1950s. Recent studies have shown these "male-killers" to be diverse and have led to a reappraisal of the biology

Integrated Serologic Surveillance of Population Immunity and Disease Transmission. [PDF]

, 2018
Antibodies are unique among biomarkers in their ability to identify persons with protective immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases and to measure past exposure to diverse pathogens. Most infectious disease surveillance maintains a single-disease focus,
