Genome sequence of enterovirus D68 from St. Louis, Missouri, USA, 2016 [PDF]
, 2017 Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) was rarely observed prior to a widespread outbreak in 2014. We observed its reemergence in St. Louis in 2016 and sequenced the EV-D68 genomes from two patient samples. The 2016 viruses in St.

A three-state coupled Markov switching model for COVID-19 outbreaks across Quebec based on hospital admissions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Recurrent COVID-19 outbreaks have placed immense strain on the hospital system in Quebec. We develop a Bayesian three-state coupled Markov switching model to analyze COVID-19 outbreaks across Quebec based on admissions in the 30 largest hospitals. Within each catchment area, we assume the existence of three states for the disease: absence, a new state ...

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1920 The outbreak of botulism reported here occurred in January, 1920, in an Italian family, living in the Bronx, New York City. The source of the toxin was shown to be a glass jar of factory packed California ripe olives. These olives, consumed as such and also as part of a salad, caused the death of six of the seven members of the family who ate of them ...

Transmission factors and exposure to infections at work and invasive pneumococcal disease
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 65-74, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Working in close contacts with coworkers or the general public may be associated with transmission of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We investigated whether crowded workplaces, sharing surfaces, and exposure to infections were factors associated with IPD.

Magnetic outbreak associated with exploding granulations [PDF]
, 2022 Diagnosing the spatial-temporal pattern of magnetic flux on the Sun is vital for understanding the origin of solar magnetism and activity. Here, we report a new form of flux appearance, magnetic outbreak, using observations with an extremely high spatial resolution of 0.16 arcsec from the 1.6-m Goode Solar Telescope (GST) at the Big Bear Solar ...

Viruses in sanctuary chimpanzees across Africa
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Infectious disease is a major concern for both wild and captive primate populations. Primate sanctuaries in Africa provide critical protection to thousands of wild‐born, orphan primates confiscated from the bushmeat and pet trades. However, uncertainty about the infectious agents these individuals potentially harbor has important implications ...

Deterministic epidemic models overestimate the basic reproduction number of observed outbreaks [PDF]
, 2023 The basic reproduction number, $R_0$, is a well-known quantifier of epidemic spread. However, a class of existing methods for estimating $R_0$ from incidence data early in the epidemic can lead to an over-estimation of this quantity. In particular, when fitting deterministic models to estimate the rate of spread, we do not account for the stochastic ...
