Group A Rotavirus NSP4 is Under Negative Selective Pressure [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Rotavirus (RV) is the major etiologic agent of severe infantile gastroenteritis; its genome has 11 segments of double stranded RNA, encoding 12 proteins. The non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) encoded by segment 10 is multifunctional. The aim of this study is to analyze the selective pressure driving the NSP4 of RV, through the ratio of non-synonymous ...

Diagnostic electron microscopy in human infectious diseases – Methods and applications
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Diagnostic electron microscopy (EM) is indispensable in all cases of infectious diseases which deserve or profit from the detection of the entire pathogen (i.e. the infectious unit). The focus of its application has shifted during the last decades from routine diagnostics to diagnostics of special cases, emergencies and the investigation of ...

Consistent and fast inference in compartmental models of epidemics using Poisson Approximate Likelihoods [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Addressing the challenge of scaling-up epidemiological inference to complex and heterogeneous models, we introduce Poisson Approximate Likelihood (PAL) methods. In contrast to the popular ODE approach to compartmental modelling, in which a large population limit is used to motivate a deterministic model, PALs are derived from approximate filtering ...

Do Neighborhoods Matter for Individual Decision‐Making? The Case of COVID‐19 Vaccination in Sweden
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Much research has highlighted the significance of neighborhood effects on individual‐level choices and outcomes. But it has proven difficult to disentangle the influence of those that an individual shares a residential space with from that of other peers, such as work colleagues and family members.

The contact process with semi-infected state on the complete graph [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper we are concerned with the contact process with semi-infected state on the complete graph $C_n$ with $n$ vertices. In our model, each vertex is in one of three states that `healthy', `semi-infected' or `wholly-infected'. Only wholly-infected vertices can infect others. A healthy vertex becomes semi-infected when being infected while a semi-

Identifying Infection Sources and Regions in Large Networks [PDF]
, 2012 Identifying the infection sources in a network, including the index cases that introduce a contagious disease into a population network, the servers that inject a computer virus into a computer network, or the individuals who started a rumor in a social network, plays a critical role in limiting the damage caused by the infection through timely ...

Prevalence of Four Enteropathogens with Immunochromatographic Rapid Test in the Feces of Diarrheic Calves in East and Southeast of Turkey [PDF]
Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2013 In this study, fecal specimens taken from 192 diarrheic and 14 healthy calves (2-40 days old) were examined for the presence of bacterial and parasitic agents. Fecal samples from diarrheic calves with the four immunochromatographic rapid tests were 92.7%
