Vaccination in a two-strain model with cross-immunity and antibody-dependent enhancement [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Dengue and Zika incidence data and the latest research have raised questions about how dengue vaccine strategies might be impacted by the emergence of Zika virus. Existing antibodies to one virus might temporarily protect or promote infection by the other through antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).

Transmission of Zika virus by dendritic cell subsets in skin and vaginal mucosa
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family that has caused recent outbreaks associated with neurological malformations. Transmission of Zika virus occurs primarily via mosquito bite but also via sexual contact. Dendritic cells (DCs) and Langerhans

Ensemble Forecasting of the Zika Space-TimeSpread with Topological Data Analysis [PDF]
Environmetrics, 2020, 2020 As per the records of theWorld Health Organization, the first formally reported incidence of Zika virus occurred in Brazil in May 2015. The disease then rapidly spread to other countries in Americas and East Asia, affecting more than 1,000,000 people. Zika virus is primarily transmitted through bites of infected mosquitoes of the species Aedes (Aedes ...

Mathematical modelling of the first HIV/ZIKV co-infection cases in Colombia and Brazil [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper presents a mathematical model to investigate co-infection with HIV/AIDS and zika virus (ZIKV) in Colombia and Brazil, where the first cases were reported in 2015-2016. The model considers the sexual transmission dynamics of both viruses and vector-host interactions.

Mathematical modeling of Zika disease in pregnant women and newborns with microcephaly in Brazil [PDF]
Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 41 (2018), no. 18, 8929--8941, 2017 We propose a new mathematical model for the spread of Zika virus. Special attention is paid to the transmission of microcephaly. Numerical simulations show the accuracy of the model with respect to the Zika outbreak occurred in Brazil.

Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...
