Statistical methods for linking geostatistical maps and transmission models: Application to lymphatic filariasis in East Africa [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Infectious diseases remain one of the major causes of human mortality and suffering. Mathematical models have been established as an important tool for capturing the features that drive the spread of the disease, predicting the progression of an epidemic and hence guiding the development of strategies to control it.

An improved model of an actively contracting lymphatic vessel composed of several lymphangions: pumping characteristics [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Using essentially our 2011 numerical model of a multi-lymphangion segment of a collecting lymphatic vessel, but augmented by inclusion of a refractory period and definition of a mid lymphangion pressure, we explore the effect of several parameters on the form of pump function curves.

Anatomy of the vertebral column lymphatic network in mice [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Cranial lymphatic vessels (LVs) are involved in transport of fluids, macromolecules and CNS immune responses. Little information about spinal LVs is available, because these delicate structures are embedded within vertebral tissues and difficult to visualize using traditional histology. Here we reveal an extended vertebral column LV network using three-

The Intestinal Lymphatic System: Functions and Metabolic ImplicationsSummary
Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2019 The lymphatic system of the gut plays important roles in the transport of dietary lipids, as well as in immunosurveillance and removal of interstitial fluid.
