Persistence mechanisms in tick-borne diseases : tick-borne diseases

open access: yesOnderstepoort 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 ...

The Effect of Disease-induced Mortality on Structural Network Properties [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Phase diagram of epidemic spreading - unimodal vs. bimodal probability distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The disease spreading on complex networks is studied in SIR model. Simulations on empirical complex networks reveal two specific regimes of disease spreading: local containment and epidemic outbreak. The variables measuring the extent of disease spreading are in general characterized by a bimodal probability distribution.

Relapsing Fevers: Neglected Tick-Borne Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Relapsing fever still remains a neglected disease and little is known on its reservoir, tick vector and physiopathology in the vertebrate host. The disease occurs in temperate as well as tropical countries. Relapsing fever borreliae are spirochaetes, members of the Borreliaceae family which also contain Lyme disease spirochaetes.

Citizen science informs human-tick exposure in the Northeastern United States

open access: yesInternational Journal of Health Geographics, 2019
Background Tick-borne disease is the result of spillover of pathogens into the human population. Traditionally, literature has focused on characterization of tick-borne disease pathogens and ticks in their sylvatic cycles.

Ticking all the boxes? A systematic review of education and communication interventions to prevent tick-borne disease.

open access: yesVector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2012
