Space-time smoothing models for sub-national measles routine immunization coverage estimation with complex survey data [PDF]
, 2020 Despite substantial advances in global measles vaccination, measles disease burden remains high in many low- and middle-income countries. A key public health strategy for controling measles in such high-burden settings is to conduct supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) in the form of mass vaccination campaigns, in addition to delivering ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops lipid nanoparticle‐encapsulated mRNA‐encoding antibodies (mRNab‐LNPs) targeting CD19, demonstrating robust anti‐CD19 antibody production in vivo. Intramuscular injection of mRNab‐LNPs reduces CD19+ B and plasma cells in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis mice, significantly alleviating histopathological changes and tissue injuries of ...

Antigenic differences between wildtype measles viruses and vaccine viruses in Indonesia
Paediatrica Indonesiana, 2016 Background Measles virus has a single, negative strand RNA genome which codes 6 structural proteins: N, F, P M, H and L. Currently there are several variances in the nucleotide sequences of N, F, M and H genes across wild type measles viruses, hence ...

Epidemics in small world networks [PDF]
, 2005 For many infectious diseases, a small-world network on an underlying regular lattice is a suitable simplified model for the contact structure of the host population. It is well known that the contact network, described in this setting by a single parameter, the small-world parameter $p$, plays an important role both in the short term and in the long ...

A Recent Survey of the Advancements in Deep Learning Techniques for Monkeypox Disease Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Monkeypox (MPox) is a zoonotic infectious disease induced by the MPox Virus, part of the poxviridae orthopoxvirus group initially discovered in Africa and gained global attention in mid-2022 with cases reported outside endemic areas. Symptoms include headaches, chills, fever, smallpox, measles, and chickenpox-like skin manifestations and the WHO ...

Viruses disrupt functions of human lymphocytes. Effects of measles virus and influenza virus on lymphocyte-mediated killing and antibody production. [PDF]
, 1984 We present experimental data that offer, in part, a better understanding of the immunosuppression that accompanies measles virus infection. We note that measles virus "silently" infects human lymphocytes and that the infection does not alter lymphocyte ...
