A quantitative analysis of transmission efficiency versus intensity for malaria. [PDF]

, 2010
The relationship between malaria transmission intensity and efficiency is important for malaria epidemiology, for the design of randomized control trials that measure transmission or incidence as end points, and for measuring and modelling malaria ...

Aerobiology and Its Role in the Transmission of Infectious Diseases [PDF]

Journal of Pathogens, 2013
Aerobiology plays a fundamental role in the transmission of infectious diseases. As infectious disease and infection control practitioners continue employing contemporary techniques (e.g., computational fluid dynamics to study particle flow, polymerase chain reaction methodologies to quantify particle concentrations in various settings, and ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTIOUS DISEASES

This article analyzes modern diagnostic methods for infectious diseases transmitted through vectors. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of laboratory, serological, and molecular biological diagnostic approaches used for detecting these infections. The paper reviews microscopy, culture methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Tooling-up for infectious disease transmission modelling. [PDF]

Epidemics, 2020
In this introduction to the Special Issue on methods for modelling of infectious disease epidemiology we provide a commentary and overview of the field. We suggest that the field has been through three revolutions that have focussed on specific methodological developments; disease dynamics and heterogeneity, advanced computing and inference, and ...

The epidemiology of norovirus in England diagnostics, incidence and transmission [PDF]

Existing estimates of the incidence of infectious intestinal disease (IID) caused by norovirus in the community are based on electron microscopy or reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

The impact of realistic age structure in simple models of tuberculosis transmission [PDF]

, 2010
Background : Mathematical models of tuberculosis (TB) transmission have been used to characterize disease dynamics, investigate the potential effects of public health interventions, and prioritize control measures.

The Role of the Home Environment in the Transmission of Infectious Diseases [PDF]

Journal of Community Health, 2002
The purpose of this paper is to examine current health care literature (1980-2000) regarding the microbiology of the home environment, to summarize evidence of transmission within the home, and to assess effectiveness of cleaning practices and products.
