Dynamical aspects of a tuberculosis transmission model incorporating vaccination and time delay

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2023
To explore transmission dynamics of tuberculosis, a tuberculosis transmission model with vaccination and time delay is developed in current paper. Positivity and boundedness are analyzed. Local stability of tuberculosis-free equilibrium in respect of the

Serum proteomics of active tuberculosis patients and contacts reveals unique processes activated during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. [PDF]

, 2020
Tuberculosis (TB) is the most lethal infection among infectious diseases. The specific aim of this study was to establish panels of serum protein biomarkers representative of active TB patients and their household contacts who were either infected (LTBI)

Testing for Latent Tuberculosis [PDF]

Clinical Medicine & Research, 2004
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The number of new cases continues to increase despite intense efforts to eradicate the disease. According to the World Health Organization, the global incidence rate of TB increased to 8.8 million cases in 2002 with a growth rate of 2.4% per year.1 In the United States, about ...

Evaluation of circulating serum cathelicidin levels as a potential biomarker to discriminate between active and latent tuberculosis in Uganda.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundTuberculosis remains a major public health problem worldwide accounting for 1.4 million deaths annually. LL-37 is an effector molecule involved in immunity with both antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties.

Assessment of treatment response in tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2016
Antibiotic treatment of tuberculosis has a duration of several months. There is significant variability of the host immune response and the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic properties of Mycobacterium tuberculosis sub-populations at the site of disease. A

Diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis and host RNA expression in Africa [PDF]

, 2014
Improved diagnostic tests for tuberculosis in children are needed. We hypothesized that transcriptional signatures of host blood could be used to distinguish tuberculosis from other diseases in African children who either were or were not infected with ...

Outlook for tuberculosis elimination in California: An individual-based stochastic model. [PDF]

, 2019
RationaleAs part of the End TB Strategy, the World Health Organization calls for low-tuberculosis (TB) incidence settings to achieve pre-elimination (<10 cases per million) and elimination (<1 case per million) by 2035 and 2050, respectively. These
