Using Friends as Sensors to Detect Global-Scale Contagious Outbreaks
Recent research has focused on the monitoring of global-scale online data for improved detection of epidemics, mood patterns, movements in the stock market political revolutions, box-office revenues, consumer behaviour and many other important phenomena. However, privacy considerations and the sheer scale of data available online are quickly making global monitoring infeasible, and existing met...
متن کاملInhibition of interferons by ectromelia virus.
Ectromelia virus (EV) is an orthopoxvirus (OPV) that causes mousepox, a severe disease of laboratory mice. Mousepox is a useful model of OPV infection because EV is likely to be a natural mouse pathogen, unlike its close relatives vaccinia virus (VV) and variola virus. Several studies have highlighted the importance of mouse interferons (IFNs) in resistance to and recovery from EV infection, bu...
متن کاملGrip tightens on virus outbreaks
between people. Because production in hens’ eggs is slow, six months’ work would be required to manufacture two shots for everybody. UK expert John Oxford argued that, instead of waiting for the crucial genetic shift, the UK government should order H5N1 vaccine for the entire population now. It was, he said, better to have something than nothing. Immunisation with the existing product would “ha...
متن کاملLocal and Global Impact of Disease Outbreaks
Food and mouth disease (FMD) and Classical Swine Fever (CSF) are highly contagious diseases for pigs, and they are classified on the List A of the Organisation International des Epizooties (OIE) in Paris, France. Being a List A disease implies that every suspected case has to be investigated and once it is confirmed, the outbreak has to be notified. Both FMD and CSF are widespread in many parts...
متن کاملGlobal rise in human infectious disease outbreaks.
To characterize the change in frequency of infectious disease outbreaks over time worldwide, we encoded and analysed a novel 33-year dataset (1980-2013) of 12,102 outbreaks of 215 human infectious diseases, comprising more than 44 million cases occuring in 219 nations. We merged these records with ecological characteristics of the causal pathogens to examine global temporal trends in the total ...
