The agent–host–environment model has been used to describe the epidemiology of communicable diseases. It can be adapted for understanding childhood injuries. This study aims to evaluate the Zagazig University experience with blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) in children in light of the epidemiological (...
Virus susceptibility of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and detection of viral contaminations by adventitious agent testing Biopharmaceuticals are of increasing importance in the treatment of a variety of diseases. A remaining concern associated with their production is the pote... B Andreas,MR Farc...
During co-infection, the increased parasite transmission success, i.e., a growing number of infec- tive stages released to the environment, can alter dis- ease dynamics [18, 19] and the epidemiology of each parasite species within the host population [18]. There is also increasing evidence ...
impartsgenes with special functions to bacterial cells without such functions. It is common in bacteria and is an important aspect of theepidemiology(incidence, distribution, and control) of infectious diseases. For example, the bacteriumCorynebacterium diphtheriaeis the causative agent ofdiphtheria, but...
8). These results demonstrate that the ThfT T71 variant is able to import multiple one-carbon THF compounds from the extracellular environment. Fig. 5: ThfT enables SMX-resistance by uptake of multiple one-carbon folate cycle intermediates from host cells. a Ability of NS5347 encoding thfT ...
The genetic diversity of the Coronaviruses gives them different biological abilities, such as infect different cells and/or organisms, a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, their different routes of dispersion, and viral transmission in a specific host. In recent decades, different Coronaviruses ...
In this model, we evaluate the adaptation of host and vertically-transmitted bacteria, which are jointly exposed to a toxic agent. The exposure promotes Darwinian selections that occur on different timescales for host and bacteria. We find that the combined effect of these selections has profound ...
It is the principal causal agent of ink disease of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), together with P. cinnamomi Rands. The pathogen primarily infects the root system causing bark necroses which can spread to the collar and lower trunk resulting in extensive cortical lesions with black ...
the acute phase of infection, which would have caused the mice to experience memory loss54; perhaps the mice reared up more to investigate their surroundings because they had trouble processing the unfamiliar environment or were experiencing anxiety. This behavior might parallel that which is ...
Previous epidemiological studies have identified a large outbreak of MDR-TB in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, and the causative agent was determined to be a member of MTB Beijing ST10 genotype3,16. This emerging multidrug-resistant MTB strain was named “MKR superspreader”, and later was found to ...
