Host genetic factors in hepatitis B infection, liver cancer and vaccination response: a review with a focus on Africa. [PDF]
, 2012 The disease burden due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains significant; 350 million people are infected world-wide, and around half a million deaths each year are due to HBV-related liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The evolution of covert, silent infection as a parasite strategy [PDF]
, 2009 Many parasites and pathogens cause silent/covert infections in addition to the more obvious infectious disease-causing pathology. Here, we consider how assumptions concerning superinfection, protection and seasonal host birth and transmission rates ...

Anaplasma marginale major surface protein 2 CD4+-T-cell epitopes are evenly distributed in conserved and hypervariable regions (HVR), whereas linear B-cell epitopes are predominantly located in the HVR [PDF]
, 2004 Organisms in the genus Anaplasma express an immunodominant major surface protein 2 (MSP2), composed of a central hypervariable region (HVR) flanked by highly conserved regions.

Mechanism of persistence in HCV infection
Uirusu, 2004 One of the prominent features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is persistent infection, which is assumed to be a crucial event as a result of evading host defense system. Type I interferon beta (IFN- beta) system is induced rapidly after viral infection and plays a central role in innate immunity.

Infectivity of pestivirus following persistence of acute infection [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2009 Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is an endemic pathogen worldwide and eradication strategies focus on the identification and removal of persistently infected (PI) animals arising after in utero infection. Despite this, acute infections with BVDV can persist for months or years after the removal of the PI source despite repeated screening for PIs and

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Polyomaviruses are a family of non-enveloped DNA viruses with wide host ranges. Human polyomaviruses typically cause asymptomatic infection and establish persistence but can be reactivated under certain conditions and cause severe diseases.

Spreading of persistent infections in heterogeneous populations [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2010 Up to now, the effects of having heterogeneous networks of contacts have been studied mostly for diseases which are not persistent in time, i.e., for diseases where the infectious period can be considered very small compared to the lifetime of an individual.
