A rapid and sensitive recombinase aided amplification assay to detect hepatitis B virus without DNA extraction

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the major public health problem worldwide. In clinical practice, serological and molecular assays are the most commonly used diagnostic methods to detect HBV infection in clinical practices. Methods Here we

To Go Viral [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Mathematical models are validated against empirical data, while examining potential indicators for an online video that went viral. We revisit some concepts of infectious disease modeling (e.g. reproductive number) and we comment on the role of model parameters that interplay in the spread of innovations.

An Immuno-Epidemiological Vector-Host Model with Within-Vector Viral Kinetics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
A current challenge for disease modeling and public health is understanding pathogen dynamics across scales since their ecology and evolution ultimately operate on several coupled scales. This is particularly true for vector-borne diseases, where within-vector, within-host, and between vector-host populations all play crucial roles in diversity and ...

Seroprevalence of Poliovirus Antibodies in the United States Population, 2009–2010

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2016
Background Polio is eliminated in the United States, with the last indigenous transmission occurring in 1979. However, global eradication of polio has not yet been completed, so importation of poliovirus into the U.S. is still possible.

An epidemiological model of viral infections in a Varroa-infested bee colony: the case of a bee-dependent mite population size [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
In recent years the spread of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor has become the most serious threat to worldwide apiculture. In the model presented here we extend the bee population dynamics with mite viral epidemiology examined in an earlier paper by allowing a bee-dependent mite population size.
