To this aim, efficient and effective allocation of limited resources is crucial. Among standard interventions is the practice of following up with physical contacts of individuals diagnosed with Ebola virus disease -- known as contact tracing.

With a growing concern of an infectious diseases spreading in a population, epidemiology is becoming more important for the future of public health. In the past epidemiologist used existing data of an outbreak to help them determine how an infectious disease might spread in the future.

Abstract:

Many bacteria, viruses and other parasites cause severe morbidity or mortality in their host populations, creating strong selection for physiological or behavioural mechanisms to avoid disease. Likewise, changes in host susceptibility and contact patterns can dramatically influence the spread of infectious diseases, and hence selection for traits such as virulence and infectivity range in parasites. Understanding how ecological and evolutionary changes in one population affect selection in another represents a key challenge for theoreticians and empiricists alike, and is essential for gaining

Abstract:

It is widely recognized that livestock industries are vulnerable to intentional or accidental introductions of Foreign Animal Diseases (FADs). Combating disease is difficult because of unknown wildlife-livestock interactions. Feral hogs (Sus scrofa) could harbor and shed disease in areas used by domestic livestock such as cattle (Bos taurus). Extent of risk logically depends on spatio-temporal interactions between species. I used Global Positioning System (GPS) collars on cattle and hogs in combination with a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for detailed analysis on movement patterns of th

The physiological role of the plasma contact system still remains a partial enigma. The aim of the presented work was to expand our understanding of the plasma contact system, focusing on its physiological activation and function, principally from a hemostatic perspective. It also explored contact system activation under pathological conditions. We found that when human platelets become activated in blood, plasma proteins of the contact system bind to platelets and initiate contact activation. The platelet-triggered contact activation contributed to clot formation by shortening the clotting ti

We live in an era of global change, where emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola, Zika, bird flu, and white nose syndrome are affecting humans, wildlife, and domesticated species at an increasing rate.

But transmission is an inherently difficult process to measure or study, because it is actually a series of interacting processes influenced by abiotic and biotic factors a

White-tailed deer (Odocoileous virginianus) are an important game animal and provide intrinsic value to many people. However, disease has become of great concern within white-tailed deer populations. Frequency of contract drives the establishment and spread of infectious diseases among susceptible hosts. Supplemental feed provided to increase white-tailed deer survival or create hunting opportunities, as well as bait stations to aid in capture of deer, may increase contact opportunities and disease transfer. My objective was to quantify the effects of bait sites on indirect contact between dee

The subject of this thesis is the study of a system of multiple simultaneously spreading diseases, or strains of diseases, in a structured host population. The disease spread is modelled using the well-studied SEIR compartmental model; host population structure is imposed through the use of random graphs, in which each host individual is explicitly connected to a predetermined set of other individuals. Two different graph structures are used: Zipf power-law distributed graphs, in which individuals vary greatly in their number of contacts; and Poisson distributed graphs, in which there is very

Spatial closeness networks were examined as potential measur

Abstract:

Mathematical models for the spread of infectious diseases between living organisms are crucial to humanity's endeavour to understand and control its environment. The threat posed by communicable diseases is great. For example, the 1918 flu pandemic resulted in the deaths of over 50 million people and the HIV/AIDS pandemic is still under way with 2.3 million new cases in 2012. Mathematical models allow us to make predictions about the likelihood, impact and time scale of possible epidemics, and to devise effective intervention programmes, e.g. mass vaccination. This thesis considers various sto

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico<br>INTRODUÃÃO: A AtenÃÃo PrimÃria Ã SaÃde (APS) trata-se dos serÂviÃos de primeiro contato do usuÃrio com o sistema de saÃde. Nesse sentido, foi proposto um conceito amplo e direcionado Ã presenÃa e Ã extensÃo de atributos essenciais e derivados no serviÃo na atenÃÃo primÃria. Na saÃde infantil identificam-se internaÃÃes sensÃveis a atenÃÃo primÃria, as quais sÃo doenÃas evitÃveis, tais como a pneumonia e diarreias. OBJETIVO: Conhecer os atributos da atenÃÃo primÃria acesso de primeiro contato e longitudinalidade oferecido
