Susceptible‐infected‐recovered model with stochastic transmission
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The susceptible‐infected‐recovered (SIR) model is the cornerstone of epidemiological models. However, this specification depends on two parameters only, which results in its lack of flexibility and explains its difficulty to replicate the volatile reproduction numbers observed in practice.

Camelpox virus encodes a schlafen-like protein that affects orthopoxvirus virulence. [PDF]
, 2007 Camelpox virus (CMLV) gene 176R encodes a protein with sequence similarity to murine schlafen (m-slfn) proteins. In vivo, short and long members of the m-slfn family inhibited T-cell development, whereas in vitro, only short m-slfns caused arrest of ...

Poxvirus Viability and Signatures in Historical Relics
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Although it has been >30 years since the eradication of smallpox, the unearthing of well-preserved tissue material in which the virus may reside has called into question the viability of variola virus decades or centuries after its original occurrence ...
