Automatic semantic segmentation for prediction of tuberculosis using lens-free microscopy images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Tuberculosis (TB), caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most serious public health problems in Peru and the world. The development of this project seeks to facilitate and automate the diagnosis of tuberculosis by the MODS method and using lens-free microscopy, due they are easier to calibrate and easier to use (by untrained

Interactions between chronic diseases: asymmetric outcomes of co-infection at individual and population scales [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Co-infecting parasites and pathogens remain a leading challenge for global public health due to their consequences for individual-level infection risk and disease progression. However, a clear understanding of the population-level consequences of co-infection is lacking.

Badgers prefer cattle pasture but avoid cattle: implications for bovine tuberculosis control.
Ecology Letters, 2016 Effective management of infectious disease relies upon understanding mechanisms of pathogen transmission. In particular, while models of disease dynamics usually assume transmission through direct contact, transmission through environmental contamination
