BIOLOGICAL TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE AGENTS

HIV/AIDS Disease: Transmission Transition

Influence of biological agents on cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis.

A wealth of studies has demonstrated that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at increased risk of cardiovascu-lar morbidity and mortality, and that this increase is manifest early in the course of RA. 1 2 Another wealth of studies has shown the increasing effi cacy of recent therapies, or therapeutic strategies, in reducing disease activity in RA. As the infl ammatory burden in RA may ...

Detection of Biological Agents

VOLUME 12, NUMBER 1, 2000 LINCOLN LABORATORY JOURNAL 3 B   have seldom been used throughout history [1–4]. The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention of 1972 outlawed the possession and use of biological weapons; this convention has been ratified by all but a handful of major nations [5], and no nation has an overt, declared biological-weapons capability. Despite these facts, i...

Transmission of Cholera Disease with Laplacian and Triangular Parameters

A mathematical model has been introduced for the transmission dynamics of cholera disease by GQ Sun et al. recently. In this study, we add Laplacian and Triangular random effects to this model and analyze the variation of results for both cases. The expectations  and coefficients of variation are compared for the random models and the results are used to comment on the differences and similarit...
