Refuting causal relations for synchronized pathogen dynamics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying causal relations is a critical challenge in the study of ecological systems, particularly for studying the spread of pathogens in host populations. Whether dealing with measles in humans, foot and mouth disease in livestock, or white‐nose syndrome in bats—understanding causal relations is essential for understanding the underlying ...

Measles: What we have learned from non-human primate models [PDF]

, 2018
Studies in non-human primates (NHPs) have been crucial for our understanding of measles as a high impact viral disease of humans. Over a century ago, inoculations of NHPs with filtered secretions from measles patients first identified a virus as the ...

Measles outbreak in Gothenburg urban area, Sweden, 2017 to 2018: low viral load in breakthrough infections

Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2019
In an outbreak of measles in Gothenburg, Sweden, breakthrough infections (i.e. infections in individuals with a history of vaccination) were common. The objective of this study was to compare measles RNA levels between naïve (i.e.

Maternal, childhood and adolescent influences on Leydig cell functional capacity and circulating INSL3 concentration in young adults: Importance of childhood infections and body mass index

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The constitutive Leydig cell hormone insulin‐like peptide 3 (INSL3) is considered a good estimate of the adult Leydig cell functional capacity and appears to remain relatively consistent throughout adult male life, only gradually declining into old age.

Preliminary Study on Type I Interferon as a Mucosal Adjuvant for Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus F Protein

Vaccines
Background: Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) imposes a significant disease burden on infants and the elderly. Intranasal immunization using attenuated live vaccines and certain vector vaccines against HRSV has completed phase II clinical trials ...

Measles: how many hospitalised cases are we missing? [PDF]

, 2001
We aimed to determine whether the Victorian measles surveillance system had missed hospitalised cases of measles during an inter-epidemic period. We searched the Victorian Inpatient Minimum Dataset (VIMD) for the period 1 January 1997 to 30 June 1998 to ...

Internationally Adopted and Migrant Children Had Important Health Issues Requiring Systematic Initial Screening at Arrival

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Internationally adopted and migrant children have similar profiles as they may have experienced many adversities before arrival in their new country. We sought to compare both groups at arrival, focusing on nutritional status, infections and vaccination status.

Dimeric immunoglobulin A as a novel diagnostic marker of measles infection

Microbiology Spectrum
Despite tremendous measles incidence reduction through universal vaccination, elimination efforts rely on improved surveillance. The detection of anti-measles immunoglobulin M (IgM) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is the standard laboratory ...

Advances in the design and development of oncolytic measles viruses. [PDF]

, 2015
A successful oncolytic virus is one that selectively propagates and destroys cancerous tissue without causing excessive damage to the normal surrounding tissue. Oncolytic measles virus (MV) is one such virus that exhibits this characteristic and thus has
