Reverse Vaccinology Integrated with Biophysics Techniques for Designing a Peptide-Based Subunit Vaccine for Bourbon Virus

Bioengineering
Despite the seriousness of the disease carried by ticks, little is known about the Bourbon virus. Only three US states have recorded human cases of Bourbon virus (BRBV) infection; in all cases, a tick bite was connected with the onset of the illness. The

Highly Pathogenic Clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 Influenza Virus in Seabirds in France, 2022–2023

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In 2022, a very high number of wild bird deaths associated with the detection of highly pathogenic (HP) H5 avian influenza virus (AIV) lineage Gs/GD/96, clade 2.3.4.4b viruses were unusually observed in Europe between May and September, whereas prior to 2022 most of these HP H5 AIVs detected in wild birds in Europe were almost all detected between ...

Avian influenza annual report 2023

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract All European Union (EU) Member States (MSs), along with Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), conduct surveillance for avian influenza (AI) in poultry and wild birds. EFSA, upon mandate of the European Commission, compiles and analyses this data in an annual report.

Functional central limit theorems for epidemic models with varying infectivity [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In this paper, we prove functional central limit theorems (FCLTs) for a stochastic epidemic model with varying infectivity and general infectious periods recently introduced in Forien, Pang and Pardoux (2020).The infectivity process (total force of infection at each time) is composed of the independent infectivity random functions of each infectious ...

SIS Epidemic Spreading with Heterogeneous Infection Rates [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
In this work, we aim to understand the influence of the heterogeneity of infection rates on the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic spreading. Employing the classic SIS model as the benchmark, we study the influence of the independently identically distributed infection rates on the average fraction of infected nodes in the metastable state.

Systems immunology of transcriptional responses to viral infection identifies conserved antiviral pathways across macaques and humans

Cell Reports
Summary: Viral pandemics and epidemics pose a significant global threat. While macaque models of viral disease are routinely used, it remains unclear how conserved antiviral responses are between macaques and humans.

Viral etiology of the acute infections of the lower respiratory tract in Cuba

Archivo Médico de Camagüey, 2018
Background: acute respiratory infections are the main cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, with respiratory viruses as main causative agents. Objective: to determine the paper of different respiratory viruses in the etiology of the severe acute ...

Infected surfaces of vehicles as possible way of people's infection by bird flu pathogenic culture [PDF]

arXiv, 2007
Possible variant of people's infection by bird flu pathogenic culture in passing of everyday infection is presented in the work: through the contact of open parts of the skin with infected surfaces of the vehicle, that is the sequent of the reused water, which contains all species spectrum of pathogen accumulated on the urban areas, used in process of ...

Slow decay of infection in the inhomogeneous SIR model [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The SIR model with spatially inhomogeneous infection rate is studied with numerical simulations in one, two, and three dimensions, considering the case that the infection spreads inhomogeneously in densely populated regions or hot spots. We find that the total population of infection decays very slowly in the inhomogeneous systems in some cases, in ...

The interplay of co-infections in shaping COVID-19 severity: Expanding the scope beyond SARS-CoV-2

Journal of Infection and Public Health
High mortality has been reported in severe cases of COVID-19. Emerging reports suggested that the severity is not only due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but also due to coinfections by other pathogens exhibiting symptoms like COVID-19.
