Outcome of training on yellow fever surveillance in a South-Western State, Nigeria: Implications for improved field implementation [PDF]
, 2011 Nigeria is in the process of strengthening yellow fever case-based surveillance with the collection of serum samples among suspected case patients. Atraining conducted for surveillance officers in the local government areas (LGAs) of Osun State on yellow

Continuous Circulation of Yellow Fever among Rural Populations in the Central African Republic
Viruses, 2022 Yellow fever remains a public-health threat in remote regions of Africa. Here, we report the identification and genetic characterisation of one yellow-fever case observed during the investigation of a cluster of nine suspected haemorrhagic fever cases in

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 The yellow fever virus (YFV) caused a severe outbreak in Brazil in 2016–2018 that rapidly spread across the Atlantic Forest in its most populated region without viral circulation for almost 80 years.

Protein signatures using electrostatic molecular surfaces in harmonic space [PDF]
, 2013 We developed a novel method based on the Fourier analysis of protein molecular surfaces to speed up the analysis of the vast structural data generated in the post-genomic era. This method computes the power spectrum of surfaces of the molecular electrostatic potential, whose three-dimensional coordinates have been either experimentally or theoretically

Precise tracking of vaccine-responding T-cell clones reveals convergent and personalized response in identical twins [PDF]
PNAS 2018; 115 (50) 12704-12709, 2018 T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire data contain information about infections that could be used in disease diagnostics and vaccine development, but extracting that information remains a major challenge. Here we developed a statistical framework to detect TCR clone proliferation and contraction from longitudinal repertoire data.

Descriptive characterization of suspected yellow fever cases in Kano state, Nigeria, 2015-2018 [PDF]
, 2021 Introduction: Yellow fever remains a serious public health problem globally with an estimated 200, 000 cases annually despite the availability of an effective vaccine for more than 70 years. Nigeria had an outbreak of Yellow fever in 2017 after more than

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 BackgroundIn the Americas, yellow fever virus transmission is a latent threat due to the proximity between urban and wild environments. Although yellow fever has nearly vanished from North and Central America, there are still 13 countries in the Americas

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2022 We developed a new mathematical model for yellow fever under three types of intervention strategies: vaccination, hospitalization, and fumigation. Additionally, the side effects of the yellow fever vaccine were also considered in our model.

Detecting T-cell receptors involved in immune responses from single repertoire snapshots [PDF]
PLoS Biol 17(6): e3000314 (2019), 2018 Hypervariable T-cell receptors (TCR) play a key role in adaptive immunity, recognising a vast diversity of pathogen-derived antigens. High throughput sequencing of TCR repertoires (RepSeq) produces huge datasets of T-cell receptor sequences from blood and tissue samples.

Assessing yellow fever risk in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2009 This study reports results of a cross-sectional study based on interviews and seroepidemiological methods to identify risk factors for yellow fever infection among personnel of a military garrison in the Amazonian rainforest.
