Dengue is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease that affects humans. Its global distribution is comparable to that of malaria, and an estimated 2.5 billion people live in areas at risk for epidemic transmission. The disease is endemic in Africa, the Americas, and parts of the Middle ...
30 Although influenza pandemics since 1918 have not caused mortality on the same scale, it is conceivable that a future pandemic with a particularly virulent strain could cause another large spike in the infectious disease mortality curve. Even as the 20th century closes with much reduced death ...
whereas the disease is endemic in most of SouthAmerica, parts of Europe, and throughout Asia and Africa. The virus is very contagious and is spread primarily by the inhalation of aerosols, which can be carried over long distances. Transmission may also occur by fomites, such as shoes,...
the disease is a major threat to food security of the world, and particularly the countries having the disease are more prone to food insecurity. Further, FMD free status is an indicator of development, and all developed countries are free from it. The disease is endemic in India and three...
Basic reproductive number is calculated by using next generation matrix. It is verified that disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if \({R}_{0}<1\) and endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if \({R}_{0}>1\). Moreover, the disease-free equilibrium is ...
fromglomerular diseases(nephritic and nephrotic syndromes) and tubular injury. As seen inTable 2, the basic textbook approach suggests a fairly easy differentiation of the various kidney processes; however, the reality is that there is significant overlap. These discrepancies will be discussed for ...

1a.1). This is likely due to data limitations and the presence of confounding factors17,38. Measuring range shifts, for instance, requires a strong climate gradient and long-term data that capture disease absence, both of which are rare, particularly in regions where land-use change is not ...
Liver cirrhosis, the end-stage of different chronic liver diseases, is often neglected until complications occur[1,2]. Globally, current estimates indicate that more than 50 million adults have chronic liver disease[3-5]. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010), liver ...
