متن کاملSeasonality and the dynamics of infectious diseases.
Seasonal variations in temperature, rainfall and resource availability are ubiquitous and can exert strong pressures on population dynamics. Infectious diseases provide some of the best-studied examples of the role of seasonality in shaping population fluctuations. In this paper, we review examples from human and wildlife disease systems to illustrate the challenges inherent in understanding th...

متن کاملHepatitis C virus and the infectious diseases community.
It is a perfect storm for the chronic viral infection associated with the greatest morbidity and mortality in the United States. Of the ≥3 million Americans infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), only ≤50% know they are infected. Infections acquired many years ago from parenteral exposures—injection drug use, transfusions received before screening assay availability (in 1992), or other healthca...
