However, the disease prognosis was found to be dependent on the time interval between the infections. Interestingly, the severity of the disease can also be associated with the amount of antibody-mediated immune response in the reinfected patients [34], [35], [36], [37], [38]. The ...
And unlike hamsters or other “pocket pets,” rabbits aren’t content to live their entire lives confined in cages. They are prey animals by nature. Bunnies are naturally jumpy and skittish, and thus require a different approach than predator pets. Canine and feline social activities such as ...
(Ganaway, 1976; Obwolo, 1977).Yersinia pseudotuberculosiscan infect humans. The zoonotic disease, yersiniosis or pseudotuberculosis, is rare in research guinea pigs in the United States, although guinea pigs are very susceptible to this infection. Because of a persistent carrier state in guinea ...
The reality, as usual, is more complicated. It turns out that slower hear rates are often associated with lifespan, both between and within species. Hamsters have much shorter lifespan than humans, and also a much faster heart rate (c.f.this pagefor comparisons of heart rate and life expe...
Both cause severe respiratory symptoms that can be fatal in humans [4]. In late December 2019, a novel CoV infection appeared in the Hubei province of Wuhan, China. It was named COVID-19 (corona-virus-disease-19) [5] and it rapidly spread around the world. In March 2020, COVID-19 ...
However, the limitations are numerous, and not the least is the inherent simplicity of any mathematical model as compared with a living organism, a complex disease like cancer and a complex setting like the tumour microenvironment. 2.4. Model: To Devise a (Usually Mathematical) Model or ...

The appearance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its spread all over the world is the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has recently resulted in almost 400 million confirmed cases and 6 mil
In particular, thrombocytopenia [15,16] and vascular leakage [17,18] correlate with disease severity. These features have been compared to the different forms of dengue presenting similar clinical manifestations [19]. Many questions concerning the mechanisms of transmission and pathogenesis in humans, ...
