Viruses, 2019 As the phylogenetic organization of mammalian polyomaviruses is complex and currently incompletely resolved, we aimed at a deeper insight into their evolution by identifying polyomaviruses in host orders and families that have either rarely or not been ...

A zero-inflated endemic-epidemic model with an application to measles time series in Germany [PDF]
, 2022 Count data with excessive zeros are often encountered when modelling infectious disease occurrence. The degree of zero inflation can vary over time due to non-epidemic periods as well as by age group or region. The existing endemic-epidemic modelling framework (aka HHH) lacks a proper treatment for surveillance data with excessive zeros as it is ...

Reconstruction of disease transmission rates: applications to measles, dengue, and influenza [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 400 (2016) 138-153, 2014 Transmission rates are key in understanding the spread of infectious diseases. Using the framework of compartmental models, we introduce a simple method that enables us to reconstruct time series of transmission rates directly from incidence or disease-related mortality data.

Vaccines, 2023 Background: Despite the high vaccination coverage rate, in-hospital transmission of measles continues to occur in South Korea. We present a measles outbreak in which two healthcare workers (HCWs) with presumptive evidence of measles immunity were ...

Early life exposure to measles and later-life outcomes: Evidence from the introduction of a vaccine [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Until the mid 1960s, the UK experienced regular measles epidemics, with the vast majority of children being infected in early childhood. The introduction of a measles vaccine substantially reduced its incidence. The first part of this paper examines the long-term human capital and health effects of this change in the early childhood disease environment.

Conflict and Child Mortality in Mali: A Synthetic Control Analysis
Population and Development Review, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1097-1123, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Indirect effects of conflict on mortality of vulnerable groups are as important, or more important, than the direct effects. However, data limitations and methodological challenges hinder the estimation of excess deaths produced by conflict, and few studies explore the mechanisms by which conflict harms civilian populations.

A Comparative Analysis of CNN-Based Pretrained Models for the Detection and Prediction of Monkeypox [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Monkeypox is a rare disease that raised concern among medical specialists following the convi-19 pandemic. It's concerning since monkeypox is difficult to diagnose early on because of symptoms that are similar to chickenpox and measles. Furthermore, because this is a rare condition, there is a knowledge gap among healthcare professionals.
