Vertical Transmission of Infectious Diseases and Genetic Disorder: Are the Medical and Public Responses Consistent?

2007
Abstract Transmissible infectious diseases differ from most other diseases, not only by their etiology but by the risk they pose to others. Public policy, law, and ethics acknowledge this distinction by limiting the autonomy and diagnostic and treatment choices of individuals who potentially threaten others.

An Stochastic Epidemic Model with Two Types of Infectious Diseases and Vertical Transmission

In this paper, a stochastic epidemic model with two different types of infectious diseases that spread through both horizontal and vertical transmission is investigaed. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions and applying Itˆ o’s formula as well as Chebyshev’s inequality, the sufficient conditions for stochastic ultimate boundedness and permanence ...

Characteristics of and factors associated with infectious disease hospital admissions in children by HIV-exposure status in an era of high coverage of prevention of vertical HIV transmission in the Western Cape Province of South Africa

In South Africa, an estimated 22% of children under age 15 years are exposed to HIV and uninfected (HEU). Since the implementation of lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all pregnant women living with HIV in 2013 (Option B+) and all individuals living with HIV in 2016 (Universal ART), the proportion of children conceived while their mothers are ...
