How clonal are Neisseria species? The epidemic clonality model revisited.
The three species Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrheae, and Neisseria lactamica are often regarded as highly recombining bacteria. N. meningitidis has been considered a paradigmatic case of the "semiclonal model" or of "epidemic clonality," demonstrating occasional bouts of clonal propagation in an otherwise recombining species. In this model, occasional clonality generates linkage dise...
متن کاملKermack-McKendrick epidemic model revisited
This paper proposes a stochastic diffusion model for the spread of a susceptible-infective-removed Kermack–McKendric epidemic (M1) in a population which size is a martingale Nt that solves the Engelbert–Schmidt stochastic differential equation (??). The model is given by the stochastic differential equation (M2) or equivalently by the ordinary differential equation (M3) whose coefficients depen...
متن کاملIdiopathic hypereosinophilia is clonal disorder? Clonality identified by targeted sequencing
Idiopathic hypereosinophilia (IHE)/idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) has been defined by a persistent elevation of the blood eosinophil count exceeding 1.5×103/μL, without evidence of reactive or clonal causes. While T-cell clonality assessment has been recommended for unexplained hypereosinophilia, this approach is not often applied to routine practice in the clinic. We hypothesized...
متن کاملThe R0 Approach to Epidemic-non-Epidemic Phases Revisited
In this work, we revisit the basic reproduction rate R 0 definition for analysis of epidemic-non-epidemic phases describing the dynamics of the discrete stochastic version of the epidemic SIR model based on the Master Equation formalism. One shows that it is a very precise and efficient way to determine the epidemic threshold; using its most primitive concept, we can find exact results.
متن کاملTumour heterogeneity and clonality--an old theme revisited.
A clone is defined as a population of cells derived through mitotic division of a single somatic cell of origin. Accordingly, a tumour represents the clonal progeny of a transformed somatic cell that has undergone somatic gene mutations [1-3]. Several methods are available nowadays to study tumour clonality, including immunogenotyping in lymphoid tumours, assessment of clonal loss of heterozygo...
