A space-time conditional intensity model for invasive meningococcal disease occurrence [PDF]
Biometrics 68, 607--616, 2015 A novel point process model continuous in space-time is proposed for quantifying the transmission dynamics of the two most common meningococcal antigenic sequence types observed in Germany 2002-2008. Modelling is based on the conditional intensity function (CIF) which is described by a superposition of additive and multiplicative components.

Neisseria meningitidis IgA1-specific serine protease exhibits novel cleavage activity against IgG3
Virulence, 2021 Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a common bacterial colonizer of the human nasopharynx but can occasionally cause very severe systemic infections with rapid onset.

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018 Background Primary meningococcal arthritis is a rare infectious disease that occurs in less than 3% of meningococcal infections and is characterized by arthritis without meningitis, fever, rash, or hemodynamic instability Barahona [Case Rep Orthop ...

Public policy for meningococcal vaccination
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018 On an individual basis, meningococcal disease is consistently shown to be one of the most feared potential childhood infections. On a population level, any clustering of cases or increase in disease requires proactive health protection management, while ...

A severe course of serogroup W meningococcemia in a patient with infantile nephropathic cystinosis
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020 We present a 9-month old boy with cystinosis admitted to our hospital with the complaints of vomiting, diarrhea and seizure. While he was hospitalized in a pediatric intensive care unit due to worsening of his signs related to cystinosis, within hours ...

The SIR model in a moving population: propagation of infection and herd immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate $\nu$.

Pairwise likelihood estimation of latent autoregressive count models [PDF]
, 2018 Latent autoregressive models are useful time series models for the analysis of infectious disease data. Evaluation of the likelihood function of latent autoregressive models is intractable and its approximation through simulation-based methods appears as a standard practice.

Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp
531-570, 2015 Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.
