Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 A consistently decreasing prevalence of MRSA infections in China has been reported, however, the underlying mechanism of molecular processes responsible for this decline in MRSA infections has been poorly understood.

Numerical considerations about the SIR epidemic model with infection age [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We analyse the infection-age-dependent SIR model from a numerical point of view. First, we present an algorithm for calculating the solution the infection-age-structured SIR model without demography of the background host. Second, we examine how and under which conditions, the conventional SIR model (without infection-age) serves as a practical ...

Early Infections Complicating the Care of Combat Casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Surgical Infections, 2018 BACKGROUND During the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 52,000 U.S. military members were wounded in action. The battlefield mortality rate was lower than in past conflicts, however, those surviving often had complex soft tissue and bone ...

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of Clostridium difficile infections
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2018 Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea worldwide. The diagnosis of C. difficile infection (CDI) requires both clinical manifestations and a positive laboratory test for C. difficile and/or its toxins.

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.

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 ...
