The Effects of Regional Vaccination Heterogeneity on Measles Outbreaks with France as a Case Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The rubeola virus, commonly known as measles, is one of the major causes of vaccine-preventable deaths among children worldwide. This is the case despite the fact that an effective vaccine is widely available. Even in developed countries elimination efforts have fallen short as seen by recent outbreaks in Europe, which had over 30,000 cases reported in

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.Family mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) has demonstrated the ability to enhance early detection of acute malnutrition by identifying children with milder forms of wasting at an earlier stage. Consequently, the use of Family MUAC can significantly improve early case identification and has the potential to improve the coverage of treatment services for

Vaccination and public trust: a model for the dissemination of vaccination behavior with external intervention [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Vaccination is widely recognized as the most effective way of immunization against many infectious diseases. However, unfounded claims about supposed side effects of some vaccines have contributed to spread concern and fear among people, thus inducing vaccination refusal. For instance, MMR vaccine coverage has undergone an important decrease in a large

A new mixture-based fixed-effect model for a biometrical case-study related to immunogenecity with highly censored data [PDF]
, 2018 We propose a new continuous-discrete mixture regression model which is useful for describing highly censored data. We motivate our investigation based on a case-study in biometry related to measles vaccines in Haiti. In this case-study, the neutralization antibody level is explained by the type of vaccine used, level of the dosage and gender of the ...

Vaccine platform recombinant measles virus
Virus genes, 2017 The classic development of vaccines is lengthy, tedious, and may not necessarily be successful as demonstrated by the case of HIV. This is especially a problem for emerging pathogens that are newly introduced into the human population and carry the ...

The Long‐Term Effects of In Utero Exposure to Rubella
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A rubella infection in early pregnancy poses a significant risk of damage to the foetus. In this paper, we examine the later‐life impact of a rubella outbreak that occurred in Ireland in 1956. Matching the outcomes of individuals born in 1954–1957 in the 2016 Irish Census of Population to the county‐level rubella incidence rate that was ...

Mathematical models for vaccination, waning immunity and immune system boosting: a general framework [PDF]
, 2015 When the body gets infected by a pathogen or receives a vaccine dose, the immune system develops pathogen-specific immunity. Induced immunity decays in time and years after recovery/vaccination the host might become susceptible again.
