Abstract:

Pertussis (whooping cough) remains an important public health problem in Australia. Although mortality and morbidity from pertussis declined dramatically following the introduction of mass vaccination programs in 1953, the level of morbidity remains unacceptably high for a vaccine-preventable disease. Aims and methods The primary aims of this thesis were (i) to ascertain the epidemiology of pertussis in Australia between 1993 and 2000 by analysing and interpreting sources of routinely collected data on pertussis; and (ii) to examine the effectiveness of vaccination against pertussis in a

The SIR (Susceptible/Infectious/Recovered) whooping cough model involving nonlinear ordinary differential equations is studied and extended to incorporate (i) diffusion (ii) convection and (iii) diffusion-convection in one-space dimension. Firstand second-order finite-difference methods are developed to obtained the numerical solutions of the ordinary differential equations. Though implicit in nature, with the resulting improvements in stability, the methods are applied explicitly. The proposed methods are economical and reliable in comparison to classical numerical methods. When extended to t

Abstract:

The Whooping Crane (Grus americana) is among North AmericaÂs most charismatic species. Between 1938 and 2004, the population that migrates between Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP), grew from 18 to 217 individuals. The recovery plan objective for this endangered species is to downlist the population in 2035, but this requires interpretive assessment of population responses to environmental factors over the long term. I analyzed 27 years of banding data, 37 years of nest monitoring data, and 20 years of winter reports to estimate age-specific mortali

Much of the morbidity is due to the paroxysmal cough. Corticosteroids, salbutamol (a β₂- adrenergic stimulant), and pertussis-speciﬁc immunoglobulin have been proposed as standard treatment for the cough. Antihistamines have also been administered. No systematic review of the effectiveness of any of these interventions or others has been performed. Objective: i

The present work confirmed that B. pertussis infection or pertussis toxin produce hypoglycaemia in mice. The hypoglycaemia was associated with hyperinsulinaemia, and both were abolished by destruction of the pancreatic β cells with alloxan. Impaired glucose counterregulatory mechanisms may also contribute to pertussis-induced hypoglycaemia, as the hypoglycaemic action of insulin was prolonged in pertussis infected mice. On the other hand, impaired responsiveness to lower doses of insulin was found. Pertussis-induced hyperinsulinaemia had two components. First, the increase in serum insulin in

This thesis is concerned with quantifying the dynamical role of stochasticity in models of recurrent epidemics. Although the simulation of stochastic models can accurately capture the qualitative epidemic patterns of childhood diseases, there is still considerable discussion concerning the basic mechanisms generating these patterns. The novel aspect of this thesis is the use of analytic methods to quantify the results from simulations. All the models are formulated as continuous time Markov processes, the temporal evolutions of which is described by a master equation. This is expanded in the i

Abstract:

Introdução: a coqueluche é uma doença causada pela Bordetella pertussis (BP), sendo mais frequente e grave em lactentes menores de um ano de idade. Com a introdução da vacina, houve redução na incidência mundial da doença, porém nos últimos 10 anos observa-se uma recrudescência. Pode apresentar-se de forma menos característica em lactentes, especialmente antes do final do esquema vacinal para o primeiro ano de vida. O quadro clínico, nesses pacientes, pode ser semelhante ao das infecções por vírus respiratórios (VR) que são os agentes etiológicos mais frequentes nas infecções de vias aéreas, n

Abstract:

La coqueluche est une pathologie due à la bactérie Bordetella pertussis qui touche les voies respiratoires des patients infectés causant toux, leucocytose, fièvre, et dont les symptômes peuvent aller jusqu’au décès chez les individus les plus à risque (nouveau-nés et enfants immunodéprimés en particulier). Ciblée par différents programmes vaccinaux depuis de nombreuses années, cette pathologie sévit à nouveau dans de nombreux pays développés où le nombre de cas augmente fortement depuis la fin des années 2000. Cette résurgence montre la nécessité de développer de nouvelles stratégies afin de c

Abstract:

Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease caused by the strict human pathogen Bordetella pertussis, a gram-negative coccobacillus. The worldwide mass-vaccination was started in 1940s and to date, a number of whole-cell (Pw) and acellular pertussis vaccine (Pa) formulations were developed. Yet the current vaccines are incapable of providing sustained, lifelong immunity and eliminating subclinical infections, which pose a threat especially for unimmunized infants as well as adolescents and adults. Thus, finding new protein candidates with high immune protective
