ON TESTIMONY AND TRANSMISSION [PDF]

open access: yesEpisteme, 2014
AbstractJennifer Lackey's case “Creationist Teacher,” in which students acquire knowledge of evolutionary theory from a teacher who does not herself believe the theory, has been discussed widely as a counterexample to so-called transmission theories of testimonial knowledge and justification.

Overall vertical transmission of HCV, transmission net of clearance, and timing of transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Abstract Background It is widely accepted that the risk of HCV vertical transmission (VT) is 5-6% in mono-infected women, and that 25-40% of HCV infection clears spontaneously within 5 years. However, VT and clearance rates have not been estimated from the same datasets, and there is a lack of ...

Evidence of H10N8 influenza virus infection among swine in southern China and its infectivity and transmissibility in swine

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
Infection with a novel H10N8 influenza virus in humans was first described in China in December 2013, which raised concerns related to public health. This novel virus was subsequently confirmed to have originated from a live poultry market.

Quantifying transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 and impact of intervention within long-term healthcare facilities

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
Estimates of the basic reproduction number (R0) for COVID-19 are particularly variable in the context of transmission within locations such as long-term healthcare (LTHC) facilities.

Transmission of Prions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2002
The “protein only” hypothesis states that the infectious agent causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathies is a conformational isomer of PrP, a host protein predominantly expressed in brain, and is strongly supported by many lines of evidence. Prion diseases are so far unique among conformational diseases in that they are transmissible, not only ...

Visceral Leishmaniasis and the Skin: Dermal Parasite Transmission to Sand Flies

open access: yesPathogens, 2022
Visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease with significant dermal tropism. The skin is an important site of infection contributing to parasite transmission to naïve sand flies, but understanding how parasitism of host skin and the related immune ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.
