Infant rhesus macaques as a non-human primate model of Bordetella pertussis infection
Background The prevalent resurgence of pertussis has recently become a critical public health problem worldwide. To understand pertussis pathogenesis and the host response to both the pathogen and vaccines, a suitable pertussis animal model, particularly

Abstract Aim The EarLy Surveillance for Autoimmune (ELSA) study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of UK paediatric general population screening for type 1 diabetes. Methods We aim to screen 20,000 children aged 3–13 years for islet‐specific autoantibodies through dried blood spot sample collection at home, hospital or community settings.

Epidemiological consequences of an ineffective Bordetella pertussis vaccine [PDF]
The recent increase in Bordetella pertussis incidence (whooping cough) presents a challenge to global health. Recent studies have called into question the effectiveness of acellular B. pertussis vaccination in reducing transmission. Here we examine the epidemiological consequences of an ineffective B. pertussis vaccine.

Analysis of COVID-19 in India using vaccine epidemic model incorporating vaccine effectiveness and herd immunity [PDF]
COVID-19 will be a continuous threat to human population despite having a few vaccines at hand until we reach the endemic state through natural herd immunity and total immunization through universal vaccination. However, the vaccine acts as a practical tool for reducing the massive public health problem and the emerging economic consequences that the ...

Vaccination plays a crucial role in mediating protection against infectious diseases, but immune responses to vaccination are highly variable and frequently sub‐optimal in vulnerable populations. Here, we review the latest preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in regulating immune responses to ...

Mathematical Model of Vaccine Noncompliance [PDF]
Vaccine scares can prevent individuals from complying with a vaccination program. When compliance is high, the critical vaccination proportion is close to being met, and herd immunity occurs, bringing the disease incidence to extremely low levels.

In this study, we found that simultaneous infection with neurotropic Semliki Forest virus (SFV) and respiratory influenza A virus (IAV) does not lead to exacerbated or attenuated disease compared with the single virus infection control groups. However, coinfection impairs IAV immunity demonstrated by enhanced IAV replication in the lungs and decreased ...

Spatio-temporal modeling of co-dynamics of smallpox, measles and pertussis in pre-healthcare Finland [PDF]
Infections are known to interact as previous infections may have an effect on risk of succumbing to a new infection. The co-dynamics can be mediated by immunosuppression or -modulation, shared environmental or climatic drivers, or competition for susceptible hosts.
