Evaluation of differences in S. pneumoniae colonization among children with and without clinically diagnosed asthma/wheeze [PDF]
, 2017 Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization is the nasopharynx is common in young children. Colonization of S. pneumoniae is a necessary precursor for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children less ...

Monitoring Macrophage Polarization in Infectious Disease, Lesson From SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection
Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 3, May 2025.ABSTRACT The concept of macrophage polarization has been largely used in human diseases to define a typology of activation of myeloid cells reminiscent of lymphocyte functional subsets. In COVID‐19, several studies have investigated myeloid compartment dysregulation and macrophage polarization as an indicator of disease prognosis and monitoring.

Impact of heterogeneity on infection probability: Insights from single-hit dose-response models [PDF]
arXivThe process of infection of a host is complex, influenced by factors such as microbial variation within and between hosts as well as differences in dose across hosts. This study uses dose-response and within-host microbial infection models to delve into the impact of these factors on infection probability. It is rigorously demonstrated that within-host

A node-based SIRS epidemic model with infective media on complex networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this paper, we focus on the node-based epidemic modeling for networks, introduce the propagation medium and propose a node-based Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Susceptible (SIRS) epidemic model with infective media. Theoretical investigations show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.
