An iterative approach has been proposed, starting with a biological problem, developing a mathematical model, and then feeding back into the biology. Once established, this collaborative loop can be traversed many times, leading to ever increasing understanding. The ultimate goal of in silico ...
In 1958, Wagner and Lanoix developed a model of major transmission depicted in what has become known as the ‘F-diagram,’ based on steps within the fecal–oral flow of transmission starting with the letter ‘F’: fluids (drinking water), fingers, flies, fields (crops and soil), floods ...

For these analyses, COVID-19 convalescent plasma volume was stratified in 200 mL increments starting with a volume of less than or equal to 200 mL and ending with a volume of 1800 mL or more. Then, a breakpoint at 600 mL of COVID-19 convalescent plasma was tentatively posed, comparing ...
We will expand to other disease areas by starting with other disease clusters and generating corresponding GBPN. We also propose to explore other clustering algorithms besides Louvain community detection for focused subgraph generation (e.g. Leiden [74] community detection), as each algorithm will ...
In this first paper in the Series we review the fragmented structure of elimination and control programmes for these diseases, starting with the ambiguous definition of a neglected tropical disease. We describe selected international control initiatives and present their effect, governance arrangements, ...
