Coupling Within-Host and Between-Host Infectious Diseases Models
Biological processes occur at distinct but interlinked scales of organization. Yet, mathematical models are often focused on a single scale. Recently, there has been a significant interest in creating and using models that link the withinhost dynamics and population level dynamics of infectious diseases. These types of multi-scale models, called immuno-epidemiological models, fall in four categ...
متن کاملHost genes and infectious diseases.
This panel presented data on host genes that influence susceptibility to or manifestations of four infectious diseases: Puumala hantavirus infection, tuberculosis (TB), Lyme disease, and AIDS. Gus Birkhead, Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, introduced the session, highlighting its timeliness in relation to the rapidly emerging body of data on our 100,000 human genes that stems f...
متن کاملHost Genomics in Infectious Diseases
Understanding mechanisms by which genetic variants predispose to complications of infectious diseases can lead to important benefits including the development of biomarkers to prioritize vaccination or prophylactic therapy. Family studies, candidate genes in animal models, and the absence of well-defined risks where the complications are rare all can point to genetic predisposition. The most co...
متن کاملA mathematical model for coupling within-host and between-host dynamics in an environmentally-driven infectious disease.
This work presents a new model for the linking of within- and between-host dynamics. We use this as a conceptual model for the dynamics of Toxoplasma gondii, in which the parasite's life cycle includes interactions with the environment. We postulate the infection process to depend on the size of the infective inoculum that susceptible hosts may acquire by interacting with a contaminated environ...
متن کاملLinking within- and between-host dynamics in the evolutionary epidemiology of infectious diseases.
Nested models (also called embedded models) explicitly link dynamical processes that occur at different scales. Recently there has been considerable interest in linking within- and between-host levels of disease dynamics in the study of pathogen evolution. Here we review the extent to which these nested models have increased our understanding of pathogen evolution. We suggest that, although suc...
