Measures of disassortativeness and their application to directly transmitted infections.
We propose a measure of disassortativeness to summarize contact patterns relevant to the transmission of directly transmitted infections. We discuss the properties of this measure, describe standardization relative to homogeneous mixing, and generalize it to multivariate contact structures. We explore some of its properties and apply our methods to serological surveys of close contact infection...
متن کاملAn Age-Structured Within-Host Model for Multistrain Malaria Infections
In this paper we propose an age-structured malaria within-host model taking into account multi-strains interaction. We provide a global analysis of the model depending upon some threshold T0. When T0 ≤ 1, then the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the parasites are cleared. On the contrary if T0 > 1, the model exhibits the competition exclusion principle. Roughly sp...
متن کاملSexually Transmitted Infections: An Overview
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are spread primarily through person-to-person sexual contact. During the past two decades, STDs have undergone a dramatic transformation. First, the change in name from venereal diseases (V.D.) to sexually transmitted diseases (STD) indicates this transformation. The term “venereal” as it relates to disease dates back to 15th century. I...
متن کاملDirectly transmitted viral diseases: modeling the dynamics of transmission.
A key hurdle in understanding the spread and control of infectious diseases is to capture appropriately the dynamics of pathogen transmission. As people and goods travel increasingly rapidly around the world, so do pathogens; we must be prepared to understand their spread, in terms of the contact network between hosts, viral life history and within-host dynamics. This will require collaborative...
متن کاملSexually transmitted infections in Asia and the Pacific—an epidemiological snapshot
INTRODUCTION This article provides a short summary of the current status of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)/HIV epidemiology in the Asia-Pacific region. Information was requested from WHO as well as from STI experts in a number of major nations in the region. Reliable national STI notification statistics were not available from several of these countries. Figures 1 and 2 plot notificatio...
