An SIR-like kinetic model tracking individuals' viral load [PDF]
Netw. Heterog. Media, 17(3):467-494, 2022, 2021 Mathematical models are formal and simplified representations of the knowledge related to a phenomenon. In classical epidemic models, a neglected aspect is the heterogeneity of disease transmission and progression linked to the viral load of each infectious individual.

Intranasal vaccination with a recombinant protein CTA1-DD-RBF protects mice against hRSV infection
Scientific Reports, 2021 Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) infection is a major pediatric health concern worldwide. Despite more than half a century of efforts, there is still no commercially available vaccine.

A viral load-based model for epidemic spread on spatial networks [PDF]
Math. Biosci. Eng., 18(5):5635-5663, 2021, 2021 In this paper, we propose a Boltzmann-type kinetic model of the spreading of an infectious disease on a network. The latter describes the connections among countries, cities or districts depending on the spatial scale of interest. The disease transmission is represented in terms of the viral load of the individuals and is mediated by social contacts ...

SARS-CoV-2 Entry Genes Are Most Highly Expressed in Nasal Goblet and Ciliated Cells within Human Airways [PDF]
Nature Medicine, 2020, 2020 The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the etiologic agent responsible for COVID-19 coronavirus disease, is a global threat. To better understand viral tropism, we assessed the RNA expression of the coronavirus receptor, ACE2, as well as the viral S protein priming protease TMPRSS2 thought to govern viral entry in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets ...

Automated quality control for a molecular surveillance system
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Background Molecular surveillance and outbreak investigation are important for elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the United States. A web-based system, Global Hepatitis Outbreak and Surveillance Technology (GHOST), has been developed ...

Human adenoviruses in paediatric patients with respiratory tract infections in Beijing, China
Virology Journal, 2021 Background Human adenoviruse (HAdV) is a major pathogen of paediatric respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Mutation or recombination of HAdV genes may cause changes in its pathogenicity and transmission.
