Mixture of Input-Output Hidden Markov Models for Heterogeneous Disease Progression Modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A particular challenge for disease progression modeling is the heterogeneity of a disease and its manifestations in the patients. Existing approaches often assume the presence of a single disease progression characteristics which is unlikely for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

The Effect of Disease-induced Mortality on Structural Network Properties [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 10, e0136704 (2015), 2015 As the understanding of the importance of social contact networks in the spread of infectious diseases has increased, so has the interest in understanding the feedback process of the disease altering the social network. While many studies have explored the influence of individual epidemiological parameters and/or underlying network topologies on the ...

Invasion of Two Tick-borne Diseases Across New England: Harnessing Human Surveillance Data to Capture Underlying Ecological Invasion Processes [PDF]
, 2016 Modelling the spatial spread of vector-borne zoonotic pathogens maintained in enzootic transmission cycles remains a major challenge. The best available spatio-temporal data on pathogen spread often take the form of human disease surveillance data.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

Tick-borne pathogen – Reversed and conventional discovery of disease
Frontiers in Public Health, 2014 Molecular methods have increased the number of known microorganisms associated with ticks significantly. Some of these newly identified microorganisms are readily linked to human disease while others are yet unknown to cause human disease.

Zika virus infection: a public health emergency! [PDF]
, 2017 Zika virus belongs to the family of Flaviviridae. The Flaviviridae family also includes other human pathogens like West Nile virus (WNV), Yellow fever virus (YFV), mosquito transmitted Dengue virus (DENV), Tick borne encephalitic virus (TBEV) and ...

Persistence mechanisms in tick-borne diseases : tick-borne diseases
Onderstepoort J Vet Res, 2009 The use of new, highly sensitive diagnostic methods has revealed persistent infections to be a common feature of different tick-borne diseases, such as babesiosis, anaplasmosis and heartwater. Antigenic variation can contribute to disease persistence through the continual elaboration of new surface structures, and we know in several instances how ...

Lyme Disease—a Tick-Borne Spirochetosis? [PDF]
Science, 1982 A treponema-like spirochete was detected in and isolated from adult Ixodes dammini , the incriminated tick vector of Lyme disease. Causally related to the spirochetes may be long-lasting cutaneous lesions that appeared on New Zealand White rabbits 10 to 12 weeks after infected ticks fed on them.
