Spatial spread of infectious diseases
… of simple diffusion have on the spreading of infectious diseases. This study is undertaken within the context of the SI and SIR models, two of the most fundamental models for the propagation of infectious diseases. The diffusive SI and SIR models are supplemented with no flux boundary …

Mathematical modeling of infectious diseases
… dissertation, we studied mathematical models of infectious diseases that consist of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). An ODE model is formulated to describe the dynamics of wild mosquitoes when Wolbachia-infected female and male mosquitoes are …

Modular CRISPR-diagnostics for Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases continue to represent a significant fraction of worldwide disease burden. A critical part of lowering this burden entails effective testing strategies, as underscored by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The goals of diagnostics, screening, and surveillance have demanded distinct …

Multiscale Modelling of Environmentally Transmitted Infectious Diseases
… modelling approach in predicting the dynamics of infectious disease systems. Yet, there is still a lack of evidence that generally indicates which among the different categories of multiscale models of infectious disease systems is more appropriate to use in multiscale modelling of infectious …

Rapid analysis of pharmacology for infectious diseases.
<p>Infectious diseases represent a multitude of threats to populations in both the developed and developing world, from the emergence of drug resistant bacteria and new pathogens to the ancient killers of the neglected topical diseases. Yet a common problem unites all infectious diseases, that is …

Applied Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases in Australia
… of notifications to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) from 1991- 2018 - Outbreak investigation: Measles outbreak in seasonal horticultural workers in regional Victoria, Australia, 2019 - Public health surveillance: Establishing a 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) …

Estimation of hidden carriers of infectious diseases
We consider the general problem of estimating missing information in a given dataset. We focus specifically on the problem of estimating the asymptomatic segment of the population that is COVID-19 infected, given datasets for which subjects have self-selected to be tested, that is, the data do not …

Modeling Host Immune Responses in Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites have affected humans historically. Infectious diseases remain a major cause of premature death and a public health concern globally with increased mortality and significant economic burden. Unvaccinated individuals, people with …

Novel approaches to the control of infectious diseases
… ongoing efforts to find new drug leads against infectious diseases, several terrestrial and marine macro- and microorganisms were investigated. Several bioactive molecules, presented below, were isolated from these natural products. The mass-screening of dozens of marine Actinomycetes was …

Mathematical Models of Immune Responses to Infectious Diseases
… we investigate the mechanisms behind diseases and the immune responses required for successful disease resolution in three projects: i) A study of HIV and HPV co-infection, ii) A germinal center dynamics model, iii) A study of monoclonal antibody therapy. We predict that the condition …

Data mining occurrences of infectious diseases with SNOMED CT
… used to predict the number of occurrences of an infectious disease reported on by the World Health Organization (WHO). Using simple Classification and Regression (CART), Bayes theory, and Best Fit trees, prediction algorithms are created based on the number of synonyms in infectious disease terms …

New-generation individual based models for infectious diseases transmission
… an IBM suitable for the investigation of endemic diseases represent a crucial improvement for the community of epidemic modelers. Moreover, the achieved results in terms of evaluation of the effectiveness of (individually-targeted) public health control measures have had a practical application. …

Statistical modeling and analysis of partially observed infectious diseases
… Bayesian inference approach for the analysis of infectious disease models. Stochastic SIS household-based epidemic models were considered with individuals allowed to be contracted locally at a given rate and there also exists a global force of infection. The study covers both when the population …

Mathematical Modeling, Analysis and Control of Some Infectious Diseases
… explain or predict the development and spread of infectious diseases. In addition they play a critical role in disease control, indicating intervention strategies concerning public health such as vaccinations, isolation, treatments and so on. The underlying theme of this Ph.D. thesis is the …

Computational engineering of small molecules to treat infectious diseases
… key challenges remain in designing drugs against infectious disease targets that are susceptible to mutation. To achieve full clinical efficacy against rapidly-mutating targets, new methods must be developed for designing drugs. In this thesis, we utilize a three pronged approach for rational …

Modeling Emerging Infectious Diseases for Public Health Decision Support
Emerging infectious diseases (EID) pose a serious threat to global public health. Computational epidemiology is a nascent subfield of public health that can provide insight into an outbreak in advance of traditional methodologies. Research in this dissertation will use fuse nontraditional, publicly …

Antibody-omics for biomarker discovery in vaccinology and infectious diseases
Antibodies play a critical role in the immune response by neutralizing toxins, thereby modulating vaccine response and disease outcome. Their protective effector functions are primarily regulated by the antigen-binding domain (Fab) and the crystallizable domain (Fc). While traditional methods of …
