Abstract:
A stochastic epidemic model is defined in which infected individuals have different severities of disease (e.g. mildly and severely infected) and the severity of an infected individual depends on the severity of the individual he or she was infected by; typically, severe or mild infectives have an increased tendency to infect others severely or, respectively, mildly. Large-population properties of the model are derived, using branching process approximations for the initial stages of an outbreak and density-dependent population processes when a major outbreak occurs.

Abstract Objectives In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) began collecting supply chain contamination data as part of foodborne outbreak (FBO) traceback investigations. We created an integrated FBO severity score measure and examined differences in FBO severity by geographic and supply chain contamination locations. We used 9,407 NORS records between 2009–2019 to demonstrate the utility of the proposed methodology. Methods The severity scores were composed of 11 metrics based on outbreak intensity and duration characteristics and me

Abstract Bark beetle outbreaks and wildfires are two of the most prevalent disturbances that influence tree mortality, regeneration, and successional trajectories in western North American forests. Subboreal forests have experienced broad overlaps in these disturbances, and recent wildfires have burned through landscapes with substantial tree mortality from prior outbreaks. This study investigated how fuel conditions associated with mountain pine beetle outbreaks influence the probability of high burn severity (i.e. stand-replacing fire) across a range of fire weather conditions in subboreal f

The mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae), a tree-killing bark beetle, has historically been part of the normal disturbance regime in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests. In recent years, warm winters and summers have allowed MPB populations to achieve synchronous emergence and successful attacks, resulting in widespread population outbreaks and resultant tree mortality across western North America.

Abstract:
Abstract For an upstream oil and gas company, avoiding an offshore COVID-19 outbreak while executing four different offshore projects poses a huge challenge, particularly in a country experiencing a daily COVID-19 test positivity rate over 20%. Even minor mismanagement of the quarantine process can lead to an offshore COVID-19 outbreak, with the risk of shutting down campaigns and severely impacting business objectives. The challenge is therefore to avoid an offshore COVID-19 outbreak, ensuring well-being of personnel during the quarantine period and managing quarantine related costs, includin

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent oncological type and the leading cause of death by malignancy among women in Brazil and worldwide. At present, since the outbreak of COVID-19, an obstacle arises regarding the diagnosis and screening of new diseases, as well as in the continuity of treatment and follow-up of those women already diagnosed prior to the pandemic. Objectives: The objective of this work was to verify if the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the screening of breast cancer in women in Brazil.

Abstract:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of severe respiratory failure. Its etiology is associated with the impact of various aggression factors, which can be divided into direct and indirect.
 The aim of our study was to identify and compare histomorphological changes in the lungs in clozapine (150 mg/kg) and Baclofen (85 mg/kg) administration, depending on the conditions of use of these drugs. Experiments were conducted on outbreed male rats weighing 250–290 g and 20 weeks old. The animals were divided into 5 groups: the controls, Baclofen (85 mg/kg), clozapine (150 mg/k

Abstract:
The Siberian moth, Dendrolimus sibiricus, poses a significant threat to coniferous forests in its native range, primarily affecting larch, fir, spruce and pine trees. Outbreaks occur cyclically every decade, lasting 2 to 3 years, resulting in defoliation and potential tree mortality. Despite the severity of its impact, no classical biological control programs have been reported. However, native natural enemies, particularly the egg parasitoid Telenomus sp., have shown promising potential. Studies indicate consistent parasitism rates ranging from 50 to 90% throughout outbreak cycles, with succe

Abstract:
The United States has been affected by an extensive novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak since March 2020. On March 9, 2020 we started an online survey of people’s perceptions and behaviors related to this issue in Missouri and adjacent states (Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Arkansas). The survey was ended on June 9, 2020 and in total 7,392 surveys were completed. In order to assess how attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 may change over time, two follow-up surveys were conducted with those respondents who indicated interest in the re-surveys and provided an email address.

Abstract:
The report provides a review of how risk is conceived of, modelled, and mapped in studies of infectious water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) related diseases. It focuses on spatial epidemiology of cholera, malaria and dengue to offer recommendations for the field of WASH-related disease risk mapping. The report notes a lack of consensus on the definition of disease risk in the literature, which limits the interpretability of the resulting analyses and could affect the quality of the design and direction of public health interventions.

Abstract:
Policy and interventions should be informed by the best available evidence, but evaluations are not always optimally designed to inform decisions about policies and interventions in new contexts. Learning the most possible from evaluations is important; evaluating is expensive and policy makers should be confident about their decisions. Using evidence from previous studies can lead to better policy decisions, but there have been cases where doing so has led to interventions that have not worked. Learning from evaluations for decisions elsewhere has generally been more successful for interventi

Abstract:
After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic authorities in many countries took steps to support firms’ liquidity and solvency. This article analyses the effects of two such measures implemented by the Spanish authorities: the public guarantee schemes and direct aid. The results show that public guarantees were essential in enabling many companies to cover their main liquidity needs. In particular, this scheme was especially useful for SMEs and for companies operating in the sectors hit more severely by the health crisis, although it did not significantly alleviate the increased f

Abstract:
Deaths from COVID-19 can be miscounted due to under-reporting and inaccurate death registration. Mortality is often reported at the national level, which can result in the underestimation of the true scale of the impact of the pandemic since outbreaks tend to be localised. This study exploits all-cause daily death registration data provided by the Italian Statistical Office (ISTAT) from 1 January to 31 October to estimate the excess mortality and the corresponding changes in life expectancy during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The University of Gondar (UoG) and the University of Rwanda (UR) were no exceptions. Before the pandemic, E-learning was not an education norm in both institutions. Education was mainly face-to-face, inside a four-wall classroom experience. As COVID-19 restricted such experience, the two universities adopted a range of online platforms to support teaching, learning, and access to learning resources.

Juvenile quality, in turn, is a major factor influencing fish production level and market price.

This premise is based on previously published work detailing the survival of the currently employed vaccine strains S19 and Rev 1. The approach employed signature-tagged mutagenesis to construct mutants interrupted in individual genes, and the mouse model to identify mutants with attenuated virulence/survival.
