Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract In this short and popular review, we summarise some of our findings analysing the replication cycles of large DNA viruses using scanning transmission electron tomography (STEM tomography) that we applied in the laboratory of Paul Walther. It is also a tribute to a very kind and expert scientist, who recently retired.

Quantum associative memory for the diagnosis of some tropical diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In this paper we present a model of Quantum Associative Memory which can be a helpful tool for physicians without experience or laboratory facilities, for the diagnosis of four tropical diseases (malaria, typhoid fever, yellow fever and dengue) which have similar symptoms. The memory can distinguish single infection from multi-infection.

A Bottleneck Analysis of Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation Program in Pakistan
Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.Iron and folic acid deficiency is a significant public health concern, especially in low and middle‐income countries, particularly among women of reproductive age, leading to adverse maternal and child health outcomes. The modified Tanahashi model was used to inform the determinant codes and for coding reliability thematic analysis using NVivo 14.

Advances in mosquito dynamics modeling [PDF]
, 2015 It is preliminarily known that Aedes mosquitoes are very close to humans and their dwellings, also give rises to a broad spectrum of diseases: dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya. In this paper, we explore a multi-age-class model for mosquito population secondarily classified into indoor-outdoor dynamics.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

An end-to-end assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome [PDF]
, 2016 We present an end-to-end genome assembly of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads viral diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika to humans. The assembly is based on an earlier genome published in 2007 and improved in 2013.

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.

Estimating the Size of Aedes aegypti Populations from Dengue Incidence Data: Implications for the Risk of Yellow Fever, Zika Virus and Chikungunya Outbreaks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper we present a model to estimate the density of aedes mosquitoes in a community affected by dengue. The model is based on the fitting of a continuous function to the incidence of dengue infections, from which the density of infected mosquitoes is derived straightforwardly.

Yellow fever vaccines and international travelers
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2008 The growth of air travel has diminished the barriers to the spread of yellow fever, posing a threat to regions that have not previously been reached by the disease but are considered receptive, including the Middle East, coastal East Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Asia and Australia.
